Based on the most helpful WSO content, McKinsey's public sector division has been notably active, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The division focuses on advisory roles, which often involve working with government entities to navigate complex challenges such as public health crises. While the work in the public sector can inherently involve interactions with political structures due to the nature of government work, it's primarily advisory and strategic rather than politically driven in a partisan sense.
The division's work is crucial in helping public sector organizations make informed decisions, optimize operations, and implement effective strategies to serve the public effectively. This can include everything from healthcare system improvements to economic policy advising.

I think there are quite strict rules about describing our public sector work. Not sure what you mean about politics related but many governments make public disclosures about what they have hired consulting firms for.
If you mean whether they advice government what policies to implement I don’t think they do that anywhere. Don’t know about MBB but generally Public Sector consulting does not necessarily differ that much from private sector consulting
