"Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer's powerful chief of staff in Downing Street, is increasingly becoming the focus of briefings in Westminster regarding his future. The man who is credited with making Sir Keir Labour leader in the first place and who organised the general election campaign was a big advocate for Lord Mandelson to be the ambassador to the US. Mandelson was McSweeney's mentor and he is understood to have pleaded with the prime minister not to sack him last year as the new wave of allegations of the peer's links with Jeffrey Epstein broke. One Labour MP told The Independent: McSweeney is the obvious sacrificial lamb here to save Starmer. But others wonder if Starmer can survive in Downing Street without McSweeney.

Bill and Hillary Clinton agreed to comply with a congressional subpoena and will testify in the US House investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. Morgan McSweeney, Downing Street chief of staff, faces increasing scrutiny and is the focus of briefings in Westminster about his future. McSweeney strongly supported Lord Mandelson as a US ambassador and considers Mandelson his mentor. Mandelson reportedly pleaded with the prime minister not to sack him after new allegations emerged linking the peer to Jeffrey Epstein. Veteran Labour MP Andy McDonald urged removing Mandelson from the House of Lords, while the government says broader reform is needed before action.
