British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s chief of employees, Morgan McSweeney, has resigned following strain over the Mandelson case. Sky News reviews it. McSweeney was extensively cited as having pushed for the nomination of Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.

After the newest developments linked to the ‘Epstein information’, criticism has mounted in the direction of Starmer and his judgment concerning the appointment of Mandelson to the very best diplomatic place. According to rumors and reconstructions within the press within the United Kingdom, McSweeney, a buddy of Mandelson, appears to have insisted that he get the job.

“After careful consideration, I have decided to resign from Government. The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was the wrong one.

He has damaged our party, our country, and trust in politics itself,” McSweeney said in the statement with which he announces his resignation as Prime Minister Starmer’s chief of staff, thus effectively assuming full responsibility for the appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the USA which has become – with the evolution of the Epstein case – a burden for Downing Street and for Prime Minister Starmer.
