This is Starmer's biggest crisis as Labour leader - and there may be worse to come
Monday, 12 February 2024 The sacking of Azhar Ali as Labour's candidate in the Rochdale by-election is the biggest disaster for Sir Keir Starmer in his nearly four years as leader of the party.
A Labour peer has described Sir Keir Starmer's decision to withdraw support for Azhar Ali as a "big, bold move".
Lord Mann added the Labour leader "would be seething" to have ended up in a situation wherein he's had to give up a parliamentary seat.
