"I think that the prime minister absolutely is determined to [carry on]. He's determined and has taken responsibility for the mistakes made in appointing Peter Mandelson."
"I am sure, yes."
"I don't believe he will [resign], I don't think he should," she said."
Keir Starmer will carry on as prime minister and is described as determined, having taken responsibility for mistakes in appointing Peter Mandelson. Pat McFadden said it would be pointless for Morgan McSweeney to resign, yet Morgan McSweeney resigned only hours later. Confidence was expressed that Starmer will not and should not resign, although no direct conversation with Starmer was reported. Historical comparisons show how long other prime ministers stayed after key advisers quit: Margaret Thatcher one year and one month after Alan Walters; Tony Blair three years and ten months after Alastair Campbell; Gordon Brown one year and one month after Damian McBride; Theresa May two years and one and a half months after Nick Timothy and Fiona Hill; Boris Johnson one year and ten months after Dominic Cummings and seven months after Munira Mirza.
