Tim Allan, who handled communications for UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, just quit after about five months in the job. Here’s what’s up:
Allan resigned on February 9, 2026. Downing Street put out an official statement confirming it. He said he made the call himself—wants Starmer to have space to build a fresh team in No.10. He made it sound like this was all about a bigger reset, not some single blow-up.
But the timing’s interesting. Starmer’s office has been anything but calm lately. Morgan McSweeney, the chief of staff, left not long before Allan. Add to that the backlash over Peter Mandelson getting the ambassador gig in Washington—people are still arguing about that one. The whole thing’s put extra heat on Starmer’s team.
It’s also not a great look for the comms job itself. Allan’s now the fourth person to quit as Starmer’s communications chief since he took office.
Why does it matter? The communications director basically decides how the government talks to the public and the press. Losing another one—especially now—just piles on the pressure for Starmer. When senior staff keep bailing, it usually hints at trouble inside, or at least a big shakeup. Not surprisingly, the opposition is already calling this more proof that Starmer’s team is shaky." #BTCMiningDifficultyDrop #WhaleDeRiskETH #RiskAssetsMarketShock #Write2Earn
