Calls made for Keir Starmer to be next out of No 10 as Morgan McSweeney quits over Mandelson
As
of early February 2026, reports indicate significant turbulence within
10 Downing Street following the resignation of Morgan McSweeney
.- Morgan McSweeney: Resigned as Prime Minister Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff following controversies surrounding appointments, specifically that of Peter Mandelson.
- Interim Replacements: Deputy chiefs of staff Jill Cuthbertson and Vidhya Alakeson have been promoted to act as chiefs of staff.
- Political Context: Reports suggest mounting pressure and calls for Keir Starmer to be the next major exit from No 10
A defiant Keir Starmer is going to try to put himself front and centre of his beleaguered government’s fightback next week as calls grow for him to resign over the Mandelson scandal.
Downing Street has confirmed that the prime minister
will be “out and about making the case for why [his Labour] government
is delivering for working people” around the country next week as the
fury over his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as ambassador to the US escalates.
But the surprisingly bold move comes as a senior trade union leader broke ranks to call on Starmer to quit as PM, joining a growing number of Labour MPs and peers in demanding that he faces the consequences of his mistakes.
