The Labour leader has come under increasing pressure over his support of Mr Corbyn when he served in his shadow cabinet between 2015 and 2020.He previously argued he had supported Mr Corbyn because he did not think he would ever become prime minister – but later suggested he would have been a better PM than Boris Johnson.
But Labour advisers under Mr Corbyn said they did not recall Sir Keir “mentioning Nato or the Salisbury poisonings in any meetings he had in the shadow cabinet”. “At the time I would say he was very focused on his own brief which is fair enough as it was the prominent brief of the time.” “The only area of policy Starmer influenced was driving us into a no-hope Brexit policy that was the main reason we lost voters in the 2019 election.”
