Resigned February 8, 2026
Morgan McSweeney, the strategist who engineered Labour's 2024 landslide victory, resigned on February 8, 2026, taking responsibility for advising Prime Minister Keir Starmer to appoint Peter Mandelson as ambassador to Washington despite known ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Communications Director Tim Allan departed the following day, marking the fourth communications chief to leave Starmer's administration in 18 months. The crisis has now expanded dramatically: on February 19, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor (formerly Prince Andrew) was arrested on his 66th birthday on suspicion of misconduct in public office over allegations he leaked government information to Epstein while serving as UK trade envoy between 2001 and 2011.
