Keir Starmer and Rebecca Long Bailey
LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer was slammed by socialists today after he sacked Rebecca Long Bailey for sharing an article online that included a mention of Israeli training of US police.
The now ex-shadow education secretary had tweeted a link to the interview with actor Maxine Peake on the Independent website, adding: “Maxine Peake is an absolute diamond.”
Ms Long-Bailey tried to defend herself in face of criticism from the Board of Deputies of British Jews, which called into question her “suitability for the role” of shadow education secretary because of a line in the interview.
