The theft of Morgan McSweeney's mobile phone has sparked questions amid the ongoing scandal involving former ambassador Peter Mandelson. McSweeney, who was Keir Starmer's chief of staff at the time, had his phone snatched on a London street, raising suspicions due to the likely presence of messages exchanged with Mandelson.
The incident has prompted scrutiny over the circumstances of the theft, with some suggesting a potential cover-up. The phone is believed to contain sensitive communications that could be relevant to the Mandelson probe.
Labour officials have declined to comment on the specifics of the theft, but the timing has added fuel to allegations of impropriety. The missing phone remains unrecovered, and its contents are unknown.
