Blair's Ex-Chief Jonathan Powell Returns as Starmer's National Security Adviser, Replacing Sir Tim Barrow
Nov 8, 2024, 11:21 AM
Jonathan Powell, former chief of staff to Tony Blair and a principal architect of the Good Friday Agreement, is returning to Downing Street as Sir Keir Starmer's National Security Adviser. Powell's appointment is a significant addition to Starmer's team, bringing extensive government experience and beefing up the Downing Street operation. Powell replaces Sir Tim Barrow in the position. This move follows suggestions that Starmer's operation required more government experience, particularly after the departure of Sue Gray as Chief of Staff.
