Interesting from the Daily Mail today
"Call for police probe into claim PM's top aide Morgan McSweeney hid £700,000 of donations to boost Keir Starmer's political career" (Daily Mail today)"Downing Street was last night facing the threat of a police investigation over claims that the Prime Minister's chief of staff hid more than £700,000 of donations to boost Keir Starmer's political career.The Tories say they have obtained private legal advice to Morgan McSweeney, Sir Keir's most powerful aide, which points to a deliberate attempt to mislead the Electoral Commission over money given to Labour Together – the think-tank which played a key role in bringing down Jeremy Corbyn and putting Starmer into power.""The row comes ahead of the publication next month of The Fraud, by journalist Paul Holden, which will include a detailed account of Mr McSweeney's role in Labour Together.The think-tank was a key plank of the drive by Mr McSweeney and his allies – including Lord Mandelson, who was sacked as US ambassador this month over links to paedophile Jeffrey Epstein – to topple Mr Corbyn from the party leadership. Advance details from The Fraud have already prompted the resignation of Paul Ovenden, the prime minister's director of political strategy, over sexual remarks made about Mr Corbyn's former girlfriend Diane Abbott."Well, gosh.
