This is The Guardian.
Today.
A wild 24 hours in British politics.
There are some days as a journalist when your best laid plans end up in tatters by lunchtime.
Yesterday was one of those days.
The episode we had planned to make for you today was going to look at how Keir Starmer would cope without Morgan McSweeney,
his chief of staff,
who would quit over the weekend because of his relationship with Peter Mandelson.
In the past few moments, we've received a statement.
Let me read it to you.
The decision to appoint Peter Mandelson was wrong.
He has damaged our party, our country, and trust in politics itself.
But the news gods had other ideas.
The Executive Director of Communications, Tim Allen, has quit.
Another senior member of Keir Starmer's team, gone.
Scotland's Labour leader, Anasawa,
is publicly expected to say in the next hour or so that Keir Starmer should go.
Needless to say, we had a chaotic start to the week.
And we're going to take you on the journey with us.
