The UK's Civil Service Commission will review Labour-era hires for cronyism allegations.

The UK's Civil Service Commission will review hires made during the Labour era amid allegations of cronyism, following recent reports of appointments that raised questions of cronyism, such as Jess Sargeant from the Labour Together think tank and Emily Middleton, a consultant close to Science and Technology Secretary Peter Kyle. The review will focus on appointments made outside the normal process in certain circumstances and will assess departmental processes in place for such appointments.
