SIR KEIR STARMER’s office has been accused of “direct” political interference in a purge of Labour members in April.
It comes after his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn was hit by the same charge in the Equality and Human Rights Commission’s (EHRC) report on allegations of anti-semitism in the party.
The current Labour leader has promised to enact the report’s recommendations in full, among which are an end to political interference by the leader’s office in disciplinary cases.
