Starmer's treatment of socialist MPs left a ‘sour taste’, says ex MP
Keir Starmer
SIR Keir Starmer’s treatment of socialist MPs has left a “sour taste” in the mouth of the party’s left, ex-MP Ian Mearns stressed today.
The former member for Gateshead, who stepped down last month ahead of July’s general election, blasted the tactics of the party’s right-wing leadership as “disgraceful.”
The damning intervention came after many socialist stalwarts were thrown out of Labour or threatened with deselection, including former leader Jeremy Corbyn and ex-shadow home secretary Diane Abbott.
