Labour peer Prem Sikka told The Independent that Sir Keir’s backing for Mr Ali shows that there is “one set of rules for anybody on the left, and another for favourites of the Labour leader”. Tory MPs also rounded on Sir Keir, saying his backing for Mr Ali showed Labour “has not changed” since Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership, when the party was dogged by its handling of antisemitism complaints. Former justice secretary Sir Robert Buckland told The Independent: “Once again, Labour is showing that they have not changed, are not to be trusted and are nowhere near ready for government.” open image in gallery Keir Starmer is under pressure to stop Azhar Ali becoming a Labour MP Kate Osamor was suspended last month over a Holocaust Memorial Day post suggesting the Israeli action in Gaza is genocide. The former London minister Paul Scully said the party was “the same as ever underneath”, echoing left-wing MPs and activists who believe Sir Keir’s decision to stick by Mr Ali is driven by “political expediency”.
