Keir Starmer labelled a ‘moral vacuum’ after U-turn on Rochdale candidate
The TelegraphThe Conservatives labelled Sir Keir Starmer a “moral vacuum” after his U-turn on support for Labour’s Rochdale by-election candidate. Sir Keir has failed to change his party, in fact he’s been defending a racist hoping the outrage went away and only acted when he had no choice.” It is now too late for Labour to replace Mr Ali on the ballot paper for the Feb 29 by-election because nominations have already closed and so the official opposition party no longer has a candidate. He is standing for the Workers Party of Britain and campaigning against Labour’s stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict, which has seen Sir Keir Starmer come under fire for not having demanded an immediate ceasefire or being strong enough in his criticisms of Israel, which Mr Galloway has repeatedly accused of “genocide”. Earlier this week, he apologised “unreservedly to the Jewish community” for his “deeply offensive, ignorant and false” comments, before arguing Labour had “changed unrecognisably under Keir Starmer’s leadership”.
