LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer’s independent challenger Andrew Feinstein has won the backing of a former Labour general secretary in his bid to unseat the party leader.
Jennie Formby, who led the party machine under Jeremy Corbyn, has endorsed Mr Feinstein in Sir Keir’s Holborn & St Pancras constituency.
“This country needs people like Andrew in Parliament — somebody who wants to tackle the inter-related climate, housing and inequality crises that we face,” Ms Formby said.
