Former North West Durham MP Laura Pidcock quits Labour ruling body with swipe at Keir Starmer

Former North West Durham MP Laura Pidcock has quit Labour's governing body, blasting the party's "lack of vision" under Sir Keir Starmer.

Ms Pidcock, who lost her seat in 2019, accused Sir Keir of making the party a "hostile territory" for thousands of members who joined under Jeremy Corbyn's tenure.

Her decision to quit the National Executive Committee (NEC) comes 24 hours after a motion to have the parliamentary whip reinstated to Mr Corbyn was defeated.
