The Daily Mirror’s headline “Blame me” refers to McSweeney’s statement. However, the newspaper says this is a “Labour Party leadership crisis” and that pressure continues on the prime minister despite the resignation of his top aide. The Mirror says McSweeney is “widely credited with pushing the Prime Minister into Downing Street” but is also “a divisive figure among backbench MPs”.
