‘PM’s top aide quits’ and ‘How long can Starmer cling on?’

“Blame me” is the Daily Mirror’s headline, referring to McSweeney’s statement. But the paper notes that this is a “Labour leadership crisis”, with pressure still on the prime minister despite his top aide’s resignation. McSweeney had been “widely credited with propelling the PM into Downing Street” but was also a “divisive figure among backbench MPs”, the Mirror says.
