Morgan McSweeney is the former Chief of Staff for Leader of the Labour Party Sir Keir Starmer[1] who founded Brixton Endeavours Ltd in October 2018 (renamed the Center for Countering Digital Hate on 30 August 2019) and has been Managing Director at Labour Together since June 2017.[2]
Campaign manager
Morgan McSweeney was Keir Starmer's campaign manager in the 2020 Labour Party leadership contest. He worked on Liz Kendall's leadership campaign in 2015, though that shouldn't be held against him as everyone who has worked with him says he is smart and highly able. He had also worked with Lisa Nandy in the Labour Together group, which carried out a review of the UK/2019 General Election loss.[3]
Employed by David Evans
From 2007 to 2009, McSweeney was employed as Director of Communities at The Campaign Company, founded and run by David Evans, General Secretary of the Labour Party.
Silencing The Canary
On 1 December 2020, Andrew Feinstein tweeted:[4]
- For six months, SFFN had been trying to demonetise The Canary by lobbying companies to remove advertisements from its website.
- The Canary can now reveal that Morgan McSweeney, Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, launched the organisation that now runs SFFN.[5]
