Keir Starmer’s director of communications Tim Allan steps down
AI Summary
Keir Starmer's director of communications, Tim Allan, resigned after five months, following the departure of chief of staff Morgan McSweeney. Allan cited the need for a new Number 10 team as his reason for stepping down. His resignation comes amid controversy surrounding the potential appointment of Peter Mandelson as ambassador to Washington due to his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Allan's appointment had already been met with some controversy due to his previous work at the PR agency Portland. The loss of two senior staff members in quick succession has raised concerns about the stability of Starmer's Downing Street operation, particularly as McSweeney was considered instrumental to Starmer's political success. The Conservative party has attempted to keep the focus on Starmer.
