UK News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now! — Lone Labour MP Defends Starmer in Mandelson Documents Row. Machine-transcribed; use the interactive transcript above to jump the player to any line.
On April 28, in the UK Parliament, Labour's got over 400 MPs, but yesterday only one backbencher stood up to defend Kierstarmer over the... Peter Mandelson documents mess. Cabinet minister Darren Jones, the chief secretary to the prime minister, gave a statement on releasing those papers to the commons. He kept a polite and brief, saying he couldn't help more right now. Just 12 Labour backbenchers even showed up, and most didn't stick around or speak out. As like Alex Barrow's Curtis, and Muhammad Yasin sat quiet, while others like Stella Creasy called it a bad situation, but offered no real backup. Then Peran Moon from Camborn and Red Ruth, who's actually a used car salesman by trade, jumped in as the loan defender. He blasted the Tories for rushing the release, warning it can mess with the ongoing police probe, and he got last from the house while turning. Red faced. This loan warrior moment highlights how thin Starmer support is getting in his own party, like the last holdout in a fading tribe.
