After months of Conservative pressure over the Peter Mandelson appointment, Keir Starmer's Chief of Staff Morgan McSweeney has resigned.
McSweeney advised Starmer to appoint Mandelson, but it was Starmer who had ultimate responsibility.
Keir Starmer cannot continue to hide behind his staff.
He must take accountability for the disastrous decisions that have been made on his watch.
From snatching Winter Fuel Payments to hiking taxes.
From catastrophic diplomatic appointments to surrendering the Chagos Islands.
Starmer once said he would "carry the can for mistakes of any organisation I lead.”
Those are words he should consider today.
