Keir Starmer under pressure over future of Morgan McSweeney amid briefing row

Keir Starmer is under significant pressure regarding the future of his chief aide, Morgan McSweeney, following accusations that the Prime Minister's chief of staff orchestrated a campaign against Labour MP Wes Streeting. During a recent Prime Minister's Questions session, Starmer avoided confirming his confidence in McSweeney when questioned by Kemi Badenoch. However, Downing Street later issued a clarification stating that Starmer does indeed have full confidence in his aide. This situation highlights the internal tensions within the Labour Party and raises questions about leadership stability as challenges emerge from within and outside the party.
