# Morgan McSweeney must go: Cabinet ministers demand sacking of Starmer's chief of staff

Ministers from the Cabinet are calling for the immediate dismissal of Morgan McSweeney, chief of staff to Labour leader Keir Starmer, amid rising tensions within the party. This demand comes as the Labour Party grapples with internal strife and accusations of betrayal, leading to concerns about McSweeney's influence and loyalty.

As whispers of discontent echo through Labour's ranks, the party's direction is now in question. Several Cabinet ministers have expressed dissatisfaction with McSweeney’s performance, insisting that Starmer should take decisive action. "If the PM didn't approve it, he needs to get rid of Morgan," stated one of Starmer's colleagues, highlighting the growing discord. The sentiment among ministers is clear; there appears to be little hope of reconciliation without significant personnel changes.

Moreover, a growing number of insiders have expressed that “there isn't an obvious solution that doesn't involve firing him,” indicating a lack of faith in McSweeney's ability to navigate the challenging political landscape. As the party teeters on the brink of a crisis, the pressure mounts for Starmer to respond decisively to these calls for change.
