LABOUR MP Diane Abbott questioned yesterday whether Sir Keir Starmer would ever have been elected Labour leader if members knew how he would act against his predecessor, Jeremy Corbyn.
On Wednesday, Sir Keir blocked Mr Corbyn from sitting as a Labour MP despite the latter’s re-instatement as a party member by Labour’s national executive committee (NEC).
Former shadow home secretary Ms Abbott said that excluding Mr Corbyn was “wrong” and was “no way to unite the party.”
