Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer
SIR KEIR STARMER is being called on to “come clean” about the alleged hiring of a former Israeli “cyber spy” as his office’s social media manager.
Suspended and expelled Labour members are challenging the party’s leader to explain how Assaf Kaplan was hired and how much Sir Keir knew about his background working for Israeli intelligence.
Mr Kaplan served in the cyber warfare unit of Israeli intelligence, which, in 2014, was alleged to be using information on Palestinians for the purposes of extortion and blackmail, the Electronic Intifada has reported.
Starmer doubles down on witch hunt by suspending the whip from Diane Abbott
‘People up and down the country are asking whose side is the Labour government on and coming up with the answer: not workers,’ Unite general secretary Sharon Graham says
STEPHEN ARNELL examines whether Starmer is a canny strategist playing a longer game or heading for MacDonald’s Great Betrayal, tracing parallels between today’s rightward drift and the 1931 crisis
