![2015 Liz Kendall Labour leadership campaign
In the 2015 Labour leadership election,
McSweeney ran the leadership campaign of Liz Kendall, who came fourth with 4.5% of the vote. 71[4]
McSweeney then spent another period in local government. (4]
In 2017, he formed Labour Together during the Labour Party leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, where he sought to replace Corbyn and to reduce left-wing influence in the party. In 2020, he led Starmer's successful Labour leadership campaign and subsequently Labour's successful campaign in the 2024 general election.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xusvyqwadkmbbd67hz7eyeqj/bafkreifsyyoapz3wt5s7kfmvywdxmkz2cugyvzcsqzglxnyeurbtbfwdji@jpeg)
![Director of Labour Together
McSweeney is regarded as the leading architect of the think tank Labour Together. 7
He became director in 2017, reporting to a board that included Reed, Lisa Nandy, Jon Cruddas and Trevor Chinn, and also serving as company secretary. 141 As Labour Together director, he declared his aims to be "to move the Labour party from the hard left" and to
"build a sustainable winning electoral coalition."[9 Under his leadership, Labour
Together worked on a strategy to remove Jeremy Corbyn from the party leadership and to institute reforms to Labour Party processes to prevent the left-wing of the party from subsequently regaining the leadership.7]](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:xusvyqwadkmbbd67hz7eyeqj/bafkreibdxciszvuo25blg2y7cdzb2ktqe5fiurfaayvrg2gxbx2lk6j66u@jpeg)

He can chair a meeting. He can draft a minute. He can lead a team. He can hold a press conference. He can liaise with different offices. He can stay calm in an interview. He has no idea what is or was going on at any time. He is blissfully clueless, a tabula rasa. A reasonable portrait of a PM.

Both the Greens and Reform are soft on Putin and soft on NATO.
The greens want to pull out of NATO and Reform’s Leader says Putin is the leader he admires the most.
Labour takes a different approach: a NATO-first strategy, increasing defence spending and renewing our forces.

Dell has been on this beat since the very beginning and points out a thing often missed: the cost to all of us for Amazon’s loss prevention strategy is a nationwide surveillance network.
Ring is first and foremost a scheme to charge Amazon customers to deter crime that costs Amazon (not the customers themselves) billions annually in refunds, returns, double shipping, and customer service overhead.

“The Times newspaper horks up a terrifying national panic using a few dubious examples and an avalanche of roaring wingnut pundit insanity, with appalling consequences” is the type of thing you could say and have people ask, “I don’t know which one you mean, can you be much more specific than that”.
The entire Tavistock scandal was over 8 complaints. They've fucked the entirety of trans and non binary peoples, because of 8 complaints, all of which have not materialised into anything as far as I can tell.

What these “but why do people hate Starmer SO MUCH” takes come down to is so shallow.
Starmer doesn’t sound or look like a firebrand so what’s the big deal?
Immune to questions of SUBSTANCE - he’s liar, enabled a genocide, pandered to anti-migrant politics & global Fascism.
