Sir ker stormerHead of staff Morgan McSweni Are the wire back behind the curtain in Downing Street for a long time. After the reset after the reset after booting and replacing government officials, Macwini remains – even winning Power struggle with former Chief of Staff Suu Gray earlier this year.
But now – amid the decline from revelations about Peter Mandelson’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein And his later dismissal – Downing Street Spinner Now facing its biggest test, Claimed that he appointed Lord Mandelson to the first place.
After increasing the pressure this week, McSwini has pushed to hold the post for Labor Grandy – Downing Street has firmly pushed back.
Regardless, now there are questions on whether McSin is the right man for a job, former Labor Home Secretary David Blanchek called Sir Keer to widen the “circle” of the people around him.
What will be seen as a reference to McSine, who first entered Downing Street with Sir Kir, said the labor leader should gather around them “People with experience, people who are experienced politicians can test things … In fact there are counter to young people who gather around him.”
Meanwhile, former Foreign Secretary of Tory Sir Malcolm Refukind told Times Radio that it was “to decide for the Prime Minister whether he is an appropriate advisor for the future, which was actually happened, depending on it”.
The claims about Mcsweney have left the starrer walking on a criterion. On the one hand, he is already facing questions about his decision, so keeping Makswini in the post can increase even more problems for the Prime Minister if the allegations are not overcome.
But on the other hand, the Prime Minister has seen a turnover to huge employees in Downing Street, who is repeatedly trying to “reset” the story (and has failed – so getting rid of someone who is playing such an important role in the party’s own leadership can already work to make bad things worse.
Mcsweney himself is so closely associated with the Prime Minister that dismissing him will raise deeply uncomfortable questions about Sir Kir’s decision.
It will come even after the loss of Angela Rener and both Peter Mandelson In just two weeks of space. The optics are far from the ideal.
For this reason, it is likely that the Prime Minister threw his weight behind McSwini on Friday morning, his spokesperson insisted that “of course the Prime Minister has faith in his top team”.
But this will not be the first time the Prime Minister emphasized full confidence in a member of his team before dismissing him the next day. After the loss of both Mandelson and Rener, both are believed to have the belief of PM before they exit, it would not be the first time this month.
Therefore, Makswini’s support for the PM’s team is very low.
But one thing is sure: The removal of the Downing Street Spinner will raise more questions for the Prime Minister.
