SIR KEIR STARMER faces a new and formidable electoral challenge as former South African MP Andrew Feinstein declared he will oppose the Labour leader in his north London constituency at the general election.

Mr Feinstein will fight to represent Holborn and St Pancras in Parliament on a programme that includes strong opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza, action to tackle the housing crisis, and a pledge to be an accountable and honest MP.

He launched his campaign today at a gallery in Somers Town, attended by community representatives, with a slashing attack on the integrity of Sir Keir, who has held the seat since 2015.
