Good afternoon and welcome to another exciting edition of the Thought Police.

0:03.6

I'm Mike Graham. Who are you? Morgan McSweeney. Well, you'll be up for the job there. Listen, I'm Morgan McSweeney for the time being. Yeah, absolutely. He's in the ship. Looking nervously over his shoulder. He's right in the ship because at the end of the day, he's banged to rights. this fucking email, right?

0:21.4

Which, by the way, for those of you who have been living under a fucking rock Balkan Wixwini as Kirstarmer's Chief of Staff he's the guy that apparently is the Labour project without Morgan McSweeney there is no fucking government well they could do with him not being there fucking this is the guy that for years we've been told as a genius, right? He's supposed to be the genius behind Labor winning the election. The genius behind, you know, hiring suprey, the genius behind, you know, putting the cabinet together, the genius behind... All the strategy. All the great strategy. Well, it's all turned to fucking absolute shit, isn't it? Yeah. And the word is that the only reason that, as you pointed out on your show this morning, by the way, Mike, he's clearly finished because the Prime Minister today expressed his full confidence in him. Just like he expressed his full confidence in Angela Rainer and his full confidence in Peter Mandelson.. She lasted two days. See you, Morgan.

1:29.1

Nice to have known you. Well, it's like the final sort of dagger in the heart, isn't it? When the privacy goes, don't worry, I've got full confidence in you. You go, no, no. Used to be in football. When managers in the ship and the team had lost six games in a row, there's no problem at all. the directors have given me their full confidence.

1:47.7

Always meant them next dayio. Exactly right. Well, Keir Starmer's full confidence is the kiss of death, isn't it? Right. But how much longer can Keir Starmer make out he doesn't know what's going on? I mean, it may well be that he doesn't know what's fucking going on. But in this case, he's basically kind of being hidden from the sort of the story. What basically seems to have happened is that Morgan McSweeney sets up this company

1:52.1

called Labour Together, Labour Together, yeah, which is a think tank entirely based around

1:57.4

getting rid of Jeremy Corby, getting Kirstama in place, and making sure that then Kirstarmer gets elected to Downing Street, right? So they need a load of money. So they collect a few quid, 10,000,000, Yeah, but they collect a bit here and there, 10,000 years, 12,000 there. Suddenly they've got 740,000 fucking quid. and they decide not to report that they've got it.

2:19.3

And they conceal the fact that they've got it, which is contrary to electoral law, contrary to what the electoral commission told them to do.

2:26.5

And there now seems to be an email which has been written to McSweeney by a lawyer inside of Labor saying,

2:33.2

here's what you do.

2:38.4

We know that we've concealed it, but basically just say that it was an administrative development. Exactly right, yeah.

2:39.4

Which makes him look guilty to begin with, right?

2:41.9

Doesn't it?

2:42.5

Yeah.

2:42.9

So his contention is I didn't know that these donations had to be declared.

2:50.1

No one told me. Well, now emails emerged from a lawyer

2:55.7

proving that somebody did tell him and the lawyer said, well, you'd better pretend that these

3:02.6

donations that you're pretending you don't know about were the reason you didn't declare them was because

3:08.7

of an administrative error error it was a mistake in other words even though it goes back to

3:14.8

2021 Morgan McSweeney stands accused of and it doesn't look good for him of lying through his teeth

3:21.5

this is the electoral commission and technically possibly breaking the law well that's the that's the point this is the electoral commission. And technically possibly breaking the law.
