Tim Allan has resigned as Keir Starmer’s director of communications, further deepening the crisis facing the Prime Minister’s premiership.
In a statement on Monday, Allan said he had resigned to allow Starmer to build a “new” team in 10 Downing Street.
His resignation comes just a day after Morgan McSweeney resigned as the PM’s chief of staff on Sunday over his role in the decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.
Allan was in the job for just five months.
“I have decided to stand down and allow a new No 10 team to be built. I wish the PM and his team every success,” he said in a statement.
Starmer is fighting for his political life amid severe pressure over his decision to bring Mandelson into government despite being aware of his links to Jeffrey Epstein.
