'Former BBC journalist to lead government's daily briefings
Former journalist Allegra Stratton will lead the government's new televised daily briefings, BBC sources understand. Stratton, who worked for both BBC and ITV, will become the government's new press secretary in a similar role to that used in the White House in the US. The daily updates, which are expected to start later this month, come after a raft of televised press conferences from Downing Street during the coronavirus pandemic. Stratton has been Rishi Sunak's communications director at the Treasury.'
