Starmer’s communications chief to address cabinet on media strategy overhaul

Exclusive: David Dinsmore to advise ministers as they step up efforts to combat far-right rhetoric online

Keir Starmer’s Whitehall communications chief will address the cabinet on overhauling the government’s media strategy on Tuesday as ministers increasingly try to combat far-right rhetoric online.

David Dinsmore, a former editor of the Sun who was appointed permanent secretary for government communications in November, will speak to ministers about modernising the way they reach voters.
