🚨 Political Shake-Up Alert! 🚨
Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, has stepped down amidst the escalating Mandelson controversy. McSweeney faced mounting pressure after being linked to the controversial appointment of Lord Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US. Mandelson, with past connections to Jeffrey Epstein, has stirred up quite the storm, leading to his dismissal last year over leaked information.
In his resignation statement, McSweeney admitted his role in backing Mandelson’s appointment was a mistake, stressing, “Responsibility must be owned when it matters most.” He expressed pride in his work but acknowledged that stepping aside was the honourable choice for the greater good.
Reflecting on his decision, McSweeney made a poignant reminder of the women affected by Epstein’s crimes, emphasizing the need for a thorough overhaul of the vetting process. Despite his departure, McSweeney remains supportive of Starmer and Labour’s mission to rebuild trust and serve the nation. 🇬🇧
