Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, is facing criticism for his recent actions perceived as a purge of the party's left-wing members. Starmer's move, described as 'ruthless' by some, aims to consolidate power by removing what he considers 'loony-lefties'. This has led to significant backlash from within the party, with critics arguing that it has exposed deep internal divisions and distracted from the broader campaign. Labour officials, however, deny that there is any blocking of candidates, asserting that they are merely selecting allies for safe seats. The controversy continues to unfold as Starmer's actions prompt discussions about the future direction of the Labour Party. The far-left within Labour is expected to retaliate, further intensifying the internal conflict.
“Starmer says he’s ruthless to get a Lab govt but has he gone too far? He’s facing a backlash from critics within party over what they say’s a purge of left A key KS ally says it’s not a purge. But this an unwanted drama that’s exposed bitter splits & distracted from campaign” https://t.co/aAcwnfK3XP
