Starmer: Another Resignation from his Team – Communications Director Also Steps Down

Two top members of British Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s team resigned today. Tim Allan, Director of Communications, follows Morgan Sweeney, a senior advisor, who resigned yesterday over his support for Peter Mandelson. These resignations come amid a government crisis caused by revelations about Mandelson and his connections to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Allan served as an advisor to Tony Blair and was Executive Director of Communications at Downing Street from September 2025.
