"Although he has been one of Ms Reeves's top advisers since the general election, Mr Pound has longstanding connections to Sir Keir Starmer. Having worked on the Prime Minister's leadership campaign in 2020, he then became Sir Keir's head of political organisation while in opposition and then Labour's political director for elections in the run-up to 2024's landslide victory."
"We have come a long way to turn the Labour Party around from electoral oblivion in 2019 to a historic general election victory just five years later."
Matt Pound, a senior aide to Chancellor Rachel Reeves, has announced his departure from government following next week's fiscal update. Pound has been one of Reeves's top advisers since the general election but maintains longstanding connections to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer. He previously worked on Starmer's 2020 leadership campaign, served as his head of political organisation during opposition, and acted as Labour's political director for the 2024 election campaign. Pound expressed gratitude for his work with Reeves in rebuilding the economy after 14 years of Conservative governance, noting Labour's transformation from electoral difficulties in 2019 to a historic general election victory.
