LABOUR’S campaign chief faced questions today over breaches of electoral law when he was running the right-wing pressure group Labour Together.
Morgan McSweeney, one of leader Sir Keir Starmer’s key aides now in charge of the party’s election campaign, failed to declare donations of £700,000 from sundry capitalists to Labour Together, earning a rebuke from the Electoral Commission.
Labour Together played a vital role, which has only gradually emerged, in Sir Keir’s ascendancy to the party leadership.
