Ex-Blair aide becomes latest departure from Starmer's team

Former director of communications, Alastair Campbell, has left Sir Keir Starmer's team, marking the latest departure from the Labour leader's inner circle. Campbell, who previously worked for former Prime Minister Tony Blair, has rejoined Downing Street in an undisclosed role. The departure comes amid reports of tensions within Starmer's team and a potential restructuring of his office. Several other senior advisers have also left the Labour leader's team in recent months, raising questions about the stability and direction of the party's leadership. The article suggests that the departure of Campbell, a high-profile figure with close ties to the Blair government, could signal a broader shift in Starmer's approach as he seeks to navigate the challenges facing the Labour Party. The reasons for Campbell's departure and the potential implications for the party's strategy and direction are not fully clear from the limited information provided in the article.
