In the Disinformation Chronicle/Racketarticleyesterday, we noted that “both the CCDH and Labour Together were founded by Morgan McSweeney, a Svengali credited with piloting Starmer’s rise to Downing Street.” We added that the CCDH documents “carry particular importance because McSweeney’s Labour Together operatives have been teaching election strategy to Kamala Harris and Tim Walz,” with Politico dubbing Labour and the Democrats “sister parties.”
Today, I appeared on Times UK evening edition with host Kait Borsay, who said Times radio was able to get new comment from the “Labour Together” think-tank about CCDH. Borsay relayed a statement from Labour Together, which says it has “nothing to do” with CCDH. This was surprising for a number of reasons. McSweeney not only founded both groups, he was director of CCDH for a three-year period that overlapped with Starmer’s leadership campaign. McSweeney resigned from CCDH to become Starmer’s Chief of Staff.
