Labour’s first months in power have been marked by a rocky start, with headlines focusing on issues such as freebies, donors, and anger over winter fuel payment cuts. Rumours of a power struggle between two of Starmer’s top aides, Morgan McSweeney and Sue Gray, have added to the turmoil inside Downing Street. There were reported rows over access to Starmer, with complaints that Gray was too controlling over his time, leading to concerns that Labour’s message was being lost in the bad press. Gray has since left her position, prompting a reshuffling of Starmer’s team. The question now is whether this change will bring any real change, especially with a tough budget looming. It remains to be seen whether a new narrative about the government’s purpose can emerge amidst the internal struggles in Downing Street. Despite the challenges, The Guardian remains committed to providing independent journalism and relies on reader support to fund their work.
