Starmer’s Labour forced to apologise for asking dead Tory MP’s family to vote Labour in by-election

‘This is Starmer’s ‘slick and professional’ outfit – and they want us to trust them with our data!’

Late Tory MP James Brokenshire

Keir Starmer’s Labour has been forced to issue a public apology to the family of late Tory MP James Brokenshire after the party send them an appeal to vote Labour in the by-election triggered by his death from lung cancer, causing them ‘deep upset’. The Tories had a majority of 19,000 in the seat at the last election.

Labour said it ‘sincerely apologise[d] for any distress’.

A Labour source told Skwawkbox:

This is just an absolutely appalling ****-up, how much effort does it take not to send election leaflets to a family called Brokenshire? It’s not as if he was called Smith or something. This is Starmer’s and Evans’s ‘slick and professional’ outfit, they couldn’t organise a ****-up in a brewery – and they want us to trust them with our data!
