BREAKING Sir Keir Starmer appears to confirm that Labour MPs will be whipped to oppose the motion to refer him to a parliamentary sleaze inquiry He told Labour MPs that the vote is 'pure politics and we need to stand against it' “I have responsibility for being totally transparent with you, with Parliament and the British public. I take that very seriously as well. "But this is not about a lack of transparency. This is a political stunt by our opponents who want to bring us down, obscure our message, stop us getting on with our work. And the timing tells you everything nine days before local elections.” “Tomorrow is pure politics and we need to stand together against it.” He added: “It’s important to see the bigger picture here. They want to stop this Labour Government. And we know why. “Because we are the first government for generations to take key parts of the public realm back into public ownership. They don’t like that, but we’re doing it. “The first government for generations to give rights and power to workers, to renters, to the less fortunate. “The first government for generations prepared to stand against wealth interests, to raise money and put that into public services and fighting child poverty. They don’t like it, they said they’d reverse it. “We have a mandate to do all of those things. And they are not going to stop us.” He concluded: “When we stick together and fight together we are so much stronger.”
