PM accused of 'stuffing Govt with paedophile apologists'

SIR Keir Starmer is “stuffing Government with hypocrites and paedophile apologists”, the Conservative leader suggested, as she grilled the Prime Minister in the Commons.

The Prime Minister was also accused of pretending to care about violence against women to “save his own skin” by Kemi Badenoch, amid simmering discontent following the fallout from the Peter Mandelson scandal.

Sir Keir has faced significant pressure to quit, with Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar being the most prominent Labour member to call for his resignation.

However, the lack of support for Mr Sarwar’s position from ministers in Westminster does suggest the immediate danger has passed.

The Prime Minister has said the political “turmoil” would not stop him and pledged to lead the Labour Party into the next general election.
