Is Keir Starmer in control of the narrative at Downing Street? | BBC News


Today we look at the latest in claims of briefings coming out of Number 10.

The prime minister’s chief of staff Morgan McSweeney was not involved "directly or indirectly" in briefings against cabinet ministers and will not be leaving his job, sources have told the BBC.

Some in government have blamed McSweeney for being the source of the briefings.

McSweeney has not responded to calls for comment but people who have spoken to him have told the BBC: "He’s done absolutely nothing wrong. He’s not going anywhere."

To discuss it, Adam is joined by chief political correspondent, Henry Zeffman and Tom Baldwin, former senior Labour adviser and author of ‘Keir Starmer: The Biography’.
