According to a report, Keir Starmer revokes the appointment of a top general as national security adviser. The top Royal Marine general’s appointment as the UK’s national security adviser has apparently been canceled by the prime minister.General Gwyn Jenkins was supposed to start the position this summer, but Sir Keir Starmer reversed the decision made by predecessor Rishi Sunak.Former vice chief of staff Gen. Jenkins will be permitted to reapply for the position, according to The Guardian, but it is possible that this indicates the Labour Prime Minister will try to appoint an ally to the position.A government spokesman stated, “All senior appointments will be considered in the usual way.”But according to an unidentified official who spoke to The Guardian, “this looks like another part of Keir Starmer and (his chief of staff) Sue Gray’s grab for power.”Jenkins was appointed through a transparent process, so there is no good reason to start over from scratch.
