Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney pushed for appointment of Mandelson'
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney is facing growing pressure over reports he personally pushed for Peter Mandelson's appointment, despite concerns over his links with Jeffrey Epstein. While Mr McSweeney was said to have been in favour of the Labour grandee's appointment."
Reporters cover reproductive rights, climate change and Big Tech on the ground and investigate topics such as Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC and a documentary about American women fighting for reproductive rights. Quality journalism is made available without paywalls and funded by donations from those who can afford it to keep reporting accessible to everyone. Sir Keir Starmer's chief of staff Morgan McSweeney faced growing pressure for pushing Peter Mandelson's appointment despite concerns over Mandelson's links with Jeffrey Epstein. Britain's ambassador to the US was sacked amid revelations about his relationship with the convicted paedophile, raising questions about the prime minister's judgement. Sources said former chief of staff Sue Gray did not consider Mandelson appropriate, while Downing Street denied McSweeney tried to prevent the sacking. Reports also suggested Mandelson did not clear security vetting and that MI6 failed to clear the appointment.
