Investigative journalist Paul Holden told Declassified that after the resignation of the prime minister’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney: “Keir Starmer is on borrowed time. He’s done. There’s no coming back from this. “I mean he was pretty much toast before this because he was so deeply unpopular and there were already moves to remove him. “The problem is we now have this political vacuum because the success of the McSweeney-Mandelson-Starmer political project has been to totally take utter control of the commanding heights of the Labour party. It’s bureaucracy but also the cabinet.” Holden, who wrote a book about Starmer’s top aide called The Fraud, said “The eight most senior people in cabinet all have links to McSweeney going back years and decades. This entire political project is implicated and tainted by this scandal. “And that’s a real problem because in normal governments you’ll have a cabinet that is chosen from a wide range of talents within a broad political movement. This isn’t.” Starmer’s most likely challenger as prime minister, health secretary Wes Streeting, has even closer ties to Mandelson, potentially ruining his leadership bid. “This is a cabinet chosen from a tiniest fraction, of the tiniest fraction, of the tiniest fraction of the Labour party,” Holden commented. “Not only are they despicable, not only are they loathed by the public, there’s nobody there to take over the reins as a result because they are all tainted by it.” Read more: https://www.declassifieduk.org/starmer-on-borrowed-time-after-losing-mandelson-and-mcsweeney/
