Shelley Williams-Walker
Dame Michelle Williams-Walker DBE, known as Shelley Williams-Walker,[1] is a senior advisor to Boris Johnson.[2] She is a former Special adviser and was head of operations for Johnson when he was Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.[3]
In January 2022 The Daily Telegraph described a gathering held in 10 Downing Street on 16 April 2021 while indoor social gatherings were forbidden because of the COVID-19 pandemic, at which "Shelley Williams-Walker ... was in charge of the music at points, according to one eye-witness", and after which she was reportedly nicknamed "DJ SWW".[4]
In October 2022 she became the first director of The Office of Boris Johnson Ltd, but was succeeded in November 2022 by Ann Sindall.[1][5]
Williams-Walker was appointed Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire (DBE) in Johnson's Resignation Honours in June 2023, for political and public service.[6][7]
In the 2023 Channel 4 docudrama Partygate, she was played by Alice Lowe.[8]
