Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer
THE Labour Party was criticised yesterday after a motion of no confidence in leader Sir Keir Starmer was branded anti-semitic.
Bolton North East CLP put forward the motion saying Sir Keir had failed to keep his election promise of bringing unity to the party following Labour’s defeat at the 2019 general election.
Many members also believed the “terribly destructive behaviour” shown towards previous Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn by large sections of the PLP and party bureaucracy would be at an end, the motion said.
