New: Morgan McSweeney is back advising the Prime Minister – four months after he resigned over his role in the Mandelson scandal. The former No 10 chief of staff is advising Sir Keir Starmer in his moment of greatest peril, multiple government and Whitehall sources told The i Paper. McSweeney is helping the Prime Minister and has “never really gone away”, one minister said. “He has been on the end of the phone 24/7,” one source said. “He has been wargaming a leadership contest and believes Keir still has a chance if there are three or more [challengers] in the contest. He has been working out how the votes could go. It’s mad.” Exclusive with Richard Vaughn

John Healey couldn't accept the disconnect between what Starmer was telling the public about the threat of Russia & how much the PM was prepared to spend on defence. Inside his resignation by me @cazjwheeler @kitty_donaldson & Richard Vaughan @theipaper inews.co.uk/news/politics/tr…

🚨Wild scoop from @Richard_AHolmes for @theipaper. His investigation lifts the lid on a Russian drone tech boss’s unhindered travel to Disneyland and across Europe - as his software is used to train Putin’s next generation of killer drone pilots inews.co.uk/news/pictured-ru…

To onlookers at Disneyland Paris, he was just another grumpy father, dragged from queue to queue, waiting for hours to get on rides. In reality, the grouchy dad in Minnie Mouse ears was a Russian tech boss, whose software is being used by military cadets in training to join Vladimir Putin’s killer drone force. My last investigation for @theipaper exposes the Russian tech bosses travelling freely across Europe, while their software teaches school children how to fly drones. inews.co.uk/news/pictured-ru…
