18:57Now PlayingKeir Starmer's former chief of staff has conceded that Labour failed to properly prepare for power in the run-up to its landslide general election win.
In his first media interview, Morgan McSweeney told the BBC's Nick Robinson he did not yet have all the answers for the prime minister's dramatic downfall just two years after he led the party back into office.
But he admitted Labour had not given enough thought to how the world had changed since the party last took power in the 1990s.
He told the BBC's Political Thinking with Nick Robinson podcast: "We didn't prepare enough for what kind of world we were going to. We are now in a very different era than when Labour was last in government.”
