New: Morgan McSweeney is back advising the Prime Minister - four months after he resigned over his role in the Mandelson scandal.
The former No 10 chief of staff is advising Sir Keir Starmer in his moment of greatest peril, multiple government and Whitehall sources told The i Paper.
McSweeney is helping the Prime Minister and has "never really gone away"
, one minister
said.
"He has been on the end of the phone 24/7," one source said. "He has been wargaming a leadership contest and believes Keir still has a chance if there are three or more [challengers] in the contest. He has been working out how the votes could go. It's mad."
