The fear and loathing at the heart of Keir Starmer‘s Government was laid bare today as incendiary messages between ministers, aides and Peter Mandelson were released.
The Government has finally published 1,500 pages of material covering the New Labour architect’s disastrous appointment as US ambassador.
It gives a stark glimpse into plotting and backbiting behind the scenes, with Work and Pensions Secretary Pat McFadden at one point complaining that his own MPs just want him to find people to tax so they can hand out more benefits.
He also candidly admits that Sir Keir’s authority was ‘destroyed’ by a revolt last summer that blocked welfare reforms.
To provide well-rounded coverage and a breadth of insight across various events, we rely on contributions from several staff writers, each bringing their own area of expertise to our publication.
