SIR KEIR STARMER rejected a request by socialist Labour MPs yesterday to reinstate Rebecca Long Bailey as shadow education secretary.
During a video conference call with members of the Socialist Campaign Group, which includes former party leader Jeremy Corbyn, MPs asked Mr Starmer to reconsider his decision to sack her.
Mr Starmer fired the Salford and Eccles MP from his front bench on Thursday for sharing an article that mentioned Israeli training of US police.
