1 min read

Sir Keir Starmer backed nominating his former communications chief for a peerage despite being told of his links to a paedophile councillor, an ex-No10 adviser has claimed.

Tim Allan, who resigned from No10 on Monday, confirmed the Prime Minister’s ex-chief of staff Morgan McSweeney instructed him to discuss Matthew Doyle’s friendship with Sean Morton.

Speaking to The Times, Mr Allan said: “I was asked to speak to Matthew Doyle by Morgan McSweeney regarding Doyle’s relationship with Sean Morton.

“I accurately relayed what Doyle had told me to the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister is right to state that Doyle did not tell me about his campaigning in a council election for Sean Morton.

“Matthew Doyle did, however, tell me that he had believed Morton’s protestations of innocence prior to his conviction and had been supportive of him during that time.”
