"The files released on Wednesday included just 31 messages and documents involving Lord Mandelson that relate to his appointment and dismissal as Washington ambassador, all from official email addresses - and do not include any messages from Morgan McSweeney, despite him having played a key role in the decision to appoint the disgraced peer."
"But sources told The Times that Mr McSweeney used his personal email address and WhatsApp to communicate with Lord Mandelson before his appointment. None of the messages have yet been published."
Lord Mandelson was appointed as US ambassador but resigned due to connections with convicted paedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The government released 31 messages and documents related to his appointment and dismissal, all from official email addresses. However, Morgan McSweeney, Starmer's former chief of staff who played a key role in Mandelson's appointment, reportedly used personal email and WhatsApp for communications with Mandelson. These private messages have not been published, prompting accusations of a government cover-up regarding the sensitive appointment process.
