It's preaching to...

But if it’s preaching to the converted, uniquely in the Labour party it is also preaching to potential converters;... (The Guardian.)

["it" in the clause above refers to "Analysis showing any Brexit will leave Britain poorer".]

My question is: Are "preaching to the converted" and "preaching to potential converters" noun complements in their clauses respectively or is "preaching" the main verb in the verb phrase "is preaching" in the cited clause?
