Labour has come under fire for sacking its shadow Brexit minister, Dianne Hayter, for likening the “bunker mentality” in Jeremy Corbyn’s inner circle to the “last days of Hitler”.
Lady Hayter criticised the Labour leadership’s response to last week’s Panorama exposé on the handling of antisemitism complaints, saying it had “stopped receiving into the inner group any information which suggests that things are not going the way you want.”
She also accused Mr Corbyn’s aides of refusing to give key information to Labour’s National Executive Committee, as well as the Equality and Human Rights Commission, which is investigating the party.
The peer was stripped of her shadow cabinet role but will remain as the party’s deputy leader in the House of Lords, which is an elected position.
