his chief of staff, dan rosenfield, his principal private secretary, martin reynolds, his communicationsn has come in for stinging criticism during the partygate investigations, and some of these people resigning tonight will be questioned as part of the ongoing police investigation. the prime minister had been told in no uncertain terms by furious backbenchers that a shake—up was the bare minimum. but one of these resigning, munira mirza, has not gone because of the events under investigation. in a statement tonight, she said she was resigning over the pm's false claim that sir keir starmer had failed to prosecute the serial sex offender jimmy savile while he was director of public prosecutions. let speak to our political correspondent rob watson. i was watching the culture secretary who said those who were speaking out were the usual suspects. nothing in about munira mirza. she is a very close adviser to the prime minister. yes, she's been a loyalist for 1a years, and borisjohnson is not somebody who tends to have a vast army around him. so to lose one of your longest—serving and close
