A senior executive at TikTok helped write the Labour manifesto while still working at the Chinese-owned technology company, he has said.

James Lyons, who left his post as one of Keir Starmer's communications chiefs last week, wrote on LinkedIn that he was asked last year to help write the party's election pledges while he was still working for the social media platform.

His work on the manifesto renews questions about the close relationship between Labour and major technology companies, who have enjoyed regular access to senior ministers in Starmer's government.
