My immediate thoughts on McSweeney, posted on Twitter:
I predicted this.
I do think Syarmer will go.
I do not think this will save Labour.
The rottenness is far too deep for that to happen.
The Starmer show is over, but we may suffer a lame duck Labour government for years to come.
Thanks for reading this post.

What will be the consequences for McSweeney for potentially non-declared donations from rich donors?
Reminds me of the old joke (I think it included Lawyers when I first hear it),
“What do you call 1000’s of dodgy geezers trapped in the hold of an Ocean Liner headed to the bottom of the Ocean?”.
“A good start”.
I think there is more to come out.
There is nothing in the media investigating Epstein’s connection with Israel.
There has been no mention of the British “Epstein” scandal: Kincora.

Open question, given McSweeney characterised Starmer as a DLR train (just runs on auotmatic) with natch, McSweeney and his crew in control, who now will provide the politcal direction that Starmer patently lacks.
Or perhaps this is all moot, the May disaster for LINO is less than 3 months off and it is likely to be a wipe out, Another message to Starmer: large parts of the country despise you and LINO. The 80 MPs needed to support a candidate to “unseat Starmer as LINO leader now looks to be a distinct hindrance. LINO doomed whatever they do.
Meanwhile there is the Tory-Deform party, the Lib-Dems and the Greens (remind me how they are politically and operationally structured… oh!).
Gosh, some many choices, shit, not great and “nice faces, nice narrative, what is party policy?”
