Labour PLP catches up to the Canary

Keir Starmer notoriously made Peter Mandelson the ambassador to the US. We say ‘notoriously’ because at the point when Starmer hired Mandelson, he knew he’d maintained a friendship with Jeffrey Epstein after the late paedophile was convicted for sex crimes. As many predicted, this scandal eventually exploded, and in recent days has gone nuclear.

Now, Starmer’s MPs are starting to talk about mutiny. As one unnamed MP said to Sky News’s Alexandra Rogers:

Consistent failures by Morgan McSweeney have damaged our media operation and left the public unaware of much of what we’ve achieved in government.

The Mandelson saga has only made things worse, and if Keir doesn’t make changes soon, the PLP will.

We’ve had enough.

Mandelson’s creature

Morgan McSweeney is Keir Starmer’s chief of staff. As Paul Holden wrote in his book about Starmer’s rise to power (The Fraud):

McSweeney is a long-time protégé of Peter Mandelson, the architect of New Labour who, in February 2017, publicly bragged that he was “working every day” to bring down Corbyn’s elected leadership.

Holden also reported:

McSweeney joined Labour in the mid-1990s as a receptionist and then a member of the party’s media operations. During the 2001 election he was given the task of feeding data into Peter Mandelson’s famed Excalibur computer that stored information to be used by the party’s rebuttal unit.

This is what Mandelson – the “best pal” of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – said about McSweeney:

I don’t know who and how and when he was invented, but whoever it was . . . they will find their place in heaven.

As Holden detailed, McSweeney used all manner of underhanded tactics to ensure Jeremy Corbyn lost in 2019, and that a malleable alternative took his place. That man was Keir Starmer, and this is what the public think of McSweeney’s vision:

As people have highlighted, McSweeney was Mandelson’s champion in the Starmer government:

It doesn’t end with McSweeney, though:

Criminal activity

The police are now considering an investigation into Mandelson:

This is the benefit establishment insiders have, of course. If you or I stole a loaf of bread in full public view, the police wouldn’t weigh up the pros and cons of taking action; they would simply arrest us.

People are arguing that any investigation should also look at McSweeney:

And as this writer noted, there is no argument for giving McSweeney the boot but keeping Starmer:
