Mandelson personal phone messages requested for files release Officials are set to publish more documents related to his appointment as UK ambassador to the US - but have so far only had access to the peer's work phone.

Optics of waiting this long to ask for it will stoke suspicion, rightly or wrongly, some messages may no longer be on it and the inquiry's pace is helpful for not revealing things uncomfortable for No.10

So this is a better #reputation and #CrisisPR response.

Starmer was warned of 'reputational risk' over Mandelson's links with Epstein, files show Newly released documents on Mandelson's appointment as US ambassador also say he asked for £547,000 when sacked - he received £75,000.

What the anti-Labour voices will, of course, ignore is all PMs make decisions based on advice.
Who was pushing for Mandelson? The Labour Together team, now sacked.
Will he blame them? No. Because who knows what they might reveal then.

Cabinet Office minister Josh Simons resigns after Labour Together claims Simons faced claims the think tank he used to run commissioned a report which looked into the background of journalists.

Unusually, I agree with Kemi - timing of this is very Jo Moore - a 'good day' to get out 'bad news' 🙄
Which tells you the cynical Labour Together culture in Starmer's government hasn't yet been removed entirely.

DAYS late 🤦
In a reputation crisis you need to be ahead of the story.
Starmer's team have been consistently reactive, instead of proactive.
Optics could look like dragging heels.
Bad #PR

Attempted distraction on a day Epstein scandal back in the news.
#PR #CrisisPR

Can it truly change its spots on VAWG-related issues involving its own?
And the culture of consequences-based ethics.
Starmer has the CV to do it.
Now he needs to prove it.
#CrisisPR

Makes sense for anyone who'd been recommended by McSweeney to go.
Not just optics - his approval meant they shared the same sick, twisted culture & loyalty to him and the views of 'The Dark Side'.
Clearout required to have true fresh start. Optics good, but it's more than that.
#PR #CrisisPR

Spinning against *your own* public statement *you've agreed to* *HOURS* after it's released is EXACTLY WHY he had to go. 🙄

Well, what a coincidence this happened this afternoon as McSweeney is under growing pressure!
Couldn't possibly be from the Trump Crisis Playbook - distraction.
Sure the Met decided the timing on their own.

Kristin Cabot turns viral scandal into business: keynote on crisis PR in DC, tickets $875 😮 Is reputation the new asset? #PR #CrisisPR #Coldplay

How to look like you're dragging your heels at every opportunity, even if you're not trying.
Terrible optics which hurt the #reputation of Starmer government, regardless of whatever their genuine intentions are.
They need to be thinking & ACTING steps ahead of the new calls for X, Y, Z
#PR #CrisisPR

4 hours too late.
Should have announced this 5pm - to be on 6pm bulletins.
Instead Opposition parties able to seize the initiative & high ground, even though they've all had dodgy ministers at some point.
Met getting some revenge for past Labour knocking? 🤔
#PR #CrisisPR

Stinks of bad optics destroying trust in the result as much as the FBI investigation into the ICE killings in Minneapolis.
Terrible #CrisisPR #PR

Labour should have done this first, if they weren't in the process of doing so.
Nothing less than a full, regular, unbiased police investigation will stop this providing Labour's enemies with new clubs to beat them with.
They may have gifted this to the SNP, who love a drama moment.

Ovenden claiming this is only an accusation & he planned to go anyway but doing so now to not be the latest headline against Starmer.
A weak #CrisisPR statement. If you're innocent, you don't wait a while, then jump.

If No. 10 wants to draw a line under this, it needs to have McSweeney prove his innocence or resign by 5pm today with an announcement.
Also would spike Reform guns by taking latest Tory defection to Reform off leading bulletins.
Labour would rather fight Tories at next GE than Reform.

Unless McSweeney can prove he was misled by Mandelson, he's toast & has to go today.
He reportedly lobbied for the appointment on the basis of worth the flak for the relationships among the elites.
He also had info before Starmer & decided what to pass on when.

Once again, evidence that optics - how stakeholders perceive your actions - often matter more than legal details for your reputation & life.
If you get professional advice to be cautious, act accordingly - you're not an expert on everything.

The optics stink. They will keep conspiracy talk alive.
They need someone unconnected to Trump with nothing to gain to clear him.
