      Dumb fucking decision. Holding onto McSweeney will be his downfall, the only thing that could save Starmer right now is scapegoating him.

    3. PracticeNo8733 on

      I bet senior government figures have nightmares about Starmer having “full confidence” in them.

    4. Formal_Produce3759 on

      Lol, imagine wrecking your own political career for an adviser.

    5. Krabsandwich on

      Well of course he has if he sacks Mc Sweeny he will be next in line for the chop. Mc Sweeny stays as long as Starmer does otherwise those calling for Mc Sweeny’s head will just move on to Starmer.

    6. YouHaveAWomansMouth on

      Despite how independent and strong-willed he might seem, Emu can’t sack Rod Hull.

      Surely someone has montaged a “full confidence” kiss of death from leaders to someone about to be sacked or “resigns”.

      eg

      >Mr Sunak has expressed “[full confidence](https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/gavin-williamson-resignation-text-messages-who-b2221198.html?)” in Sir Gavin despite describing the messages he sent to Ms Morton as “unacceptable”.

      >Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said Sir Gavin was “clearly not suitable” for his job in the Cabinet Office, calling his appointment a sign of how “weak” Mr Sunak is.

      Starmer is amazingly inept, he seems confused, is always changing his mind, Labour Party must remove him as soon as possible

    9. BuckfastEnjoyer on

      Just made a noise similair to parliament yesterday. I’m actually in shock that he’s going to try and hang on here.

    10. NoTitleChamp on

      Christ what dirt does he have? The continued attempts to protect him is amazing.

    11. sucksblueeggs on

      What a fucking idiot. Trouble is, who do you replace him with? They are all inept. At least Starmer had some experience in high level positions in the past.

    12. Necessary-Product361 on

      Starmer saying he has full confidence in someone is a kiss of death

    13. philipwhiuk on

      The statement of full confidence almost always immediately precedes a sacking based on some new fairly minor bit of info.

    14. FlowerGathering on

      Kier can’t remove him since MC sweeny ousted Corbyn through his think tank got him in power and formed the faction that’s running the government Zac Polanski has a good interview on it on his YouTube channel.

    15. Pen_dragons_pizza on

      Fuck me, how may prime ministers do we have to go through in the last 4 years

    16. cardinalb on

      We need someone who will put the country before everything

    17. fascinesta on

      Disappointing. I’m in the minority who approve of Starmer but McSweeney needs to be fed to the wolves over this and a multitude of other inept decisions/PR. Even ignoring the Mandelson thing, he’s absolutely shattered the bed as an advisor/spin doctor.

    18. judochop1 on

      It’s his faith in McSweeney why he’s not being as good as he could. I bet McSweeney vetoes labour from shouting about all the good policy achievements they’ve done.

      McSweeney is one of Mandelsons men ffs

    19. TrumpGrabbedMyCat on

      Can’t be that sorry about protecting a pedo’s BFF who leaked state secrets then can you Starmer?

    20. drewlpool on

      Morgan McSweeney must have something really juicy on Starmer…

    22. boringfantasy on

      Aaand that’s curtains. He’s out by the end of the month.

    24. noun_verbed on

      This is basically the kiss of death given the last several people he gave his ‘full confidence’ to

    25. MoleWhackSupreme on

      I’ve got full confidence Starmer performs yet another U turn and sacks McSweeney sooner rather than later

    26. TheLimeyLemmon on

      Well that’s a good way to accelerate both of you losing your jobs then I guess

    28. Any-Swing-3518 on

      Another day, another vindication for the Corbynites. I think we’re on a run of about 500 or something.

    29. Airurando-jin on

      I imagine that McSweeney has more loyalty to Mandelson than he does to Starmer, given Mandelson is a friend and mentor.

      It would mean that McSweeney’s opinion was biased and a conflict of interest.

      Given his former position, he may still have significant enough influence to also bring Starmer down, as he did with Corbyn.

      I would be intrigued to know if he has any other conflicts of interest, or is influenced by any large groups or donors , either acting in personal or national interest in their donation 

    30. Red_Brummy on

      The downfall of the Unionists in charge at Westminster would normally be hilarious if it did not involve so many innocent victims from around the world. Cannot even laugh at Sir Kid Starver defending the appointment of a close confident of a peado as US Ambassador who subsequently forwarded on (allegedly) information of national importance to them in between partying on peado islands and sending fawning emails and accepting huge sums of cash. Sigh.

      What an absolute clown-show the Unionists have been for for decades now. This is a shambles and as the press trawl those Epstein files, it’s only going to get worse.

      I wonder how Anas Sarwar feels about his close old friend now?! Has he U-Turned on that friendship?!

    31. BorderCollieDog on

      McSweeney will end up being to Starmer what Cummings was to Johnson… a fucking disaster.

    32. Impressive-Bird-6085 on

      I believe that this is a grave mistake. Given Labour is in such a terrible mess, and so deeply unpopular, the strategy to appease and lean in to Reform UK’s toxic division, toxic politics, and toxic rhetoric, much of which has reportedly been on the advice of, or largely down to Morgan McSweeney…. He should be sacked without hesitation!
      Labour and Starmer need a significant change of policy, policy direction and must find a compelling narrative about an improved country they want to help create and how their policies will achieve it!

    33. douggieball1312 on

      Morgan McSweeney: the Piers Gaveston of the Starmer government.

    34. Lucifer_606381 on

      Sorry but Keir signs things off. The fault lies wth him

    35. Woffingshire on

      Considering McSweeney was the main force behind appointing Mandelson, and the appointment of Mandelson is about to cost him his position, it’s a very odd move that he would say he has full confidence in the guy who pushed for this problem to happen.

    36. OkPhilosopher5308 on

      Starmer’s screwed, he’s a dead man walking, no matter how much ballast he throws over the side. The knives are out now.

    37. jeanclaudecardboarde on

      What I’d like to know is- now that we know that there *are actually* shadowy forces above the government that are actually calling the shots and we now know that it doesn’t matter what we vote for because it’s a done deal it seems- what is going to be done about all this now that we know that the game is up.
      Remember when the Illuminati was just a conspiracy theory? Seems they were there all along.

    38. Zeal0tElite on

      I’m glad that Starmer has spent all this time maneuvering himself into power, and got insanely lucky that the Conservatives collapsed right as he got into the leader of the Labour party, only to have it all collapse because he seems to be some kind of inverse idiot savant.

    39. totallyclips on

      But we don’t in you and that’s what really counts and matters

    40. Yorkshire_Roast on

      If Starmer said he had full confidence in me I’d start to panic

    41. RoastedPotato-1kg on

      bro it’s trying to make reform win, stupid decisions 

    42. urallbotsbtw on

      A clown government, even more pathetic than the last one.
