Is Morgan McSweeney Labour’s enforcer or Starmer’s controller? – with Steve Richards
Apr 23, 2025•33 min•Season 1Ep. 1543
Episode description
Labour’s election guru, a modern-day Macchiavelli, the power behind the PM, a “permanent insurgent”… Starmer’s Chief Of Staff Morgan McSweeney is perhaps the most powerful unelected person in politics. Who is he? What does he want? Is he behind the party’s lurch right – and can he win Labour a second term? Steve Richards of the unmissable Rock and Roll Politics podcast tells Andrew Harrison what makes McSweeney tick.
