'PM will regret his snubs to loyal MPs'

LABOUR MPs fear Sir Keir Starmer is “getting carried away” with his victory, after it emerged the Prime Minister did not inform sacked front-benchers they were losing their jobs.

As fury builds, Sir Keir has still not thanked 22 former shadow ministers who loyally served him in Opposition but were demoted to the backbenches following the election.

One said they were not told about the move directly but instead learnt of their fate when ministerial appointments were published online.

Now a former shadow minister has warned Sir Keir might live to regret his post-election reshuffle if the Government runs into difficulties and he finds himself in need of backing.
