Keir Starmer has cut funding for Young Labour and scrapped its annual conference after the youth wing accused the leader of “backing Nato aggression” over the Ukraine crisis.
The dramatic clampdown is the latest clash between the leader and left-wing activists and comes after Young Labour's Twitter account was restricted "until further notice" by party chiefs today.
Posts said activists running the account for Young Labour, which is for members 26 and under, had been "actively detrimental to the party’s core objectives: to promote Labour candidates and policies, and to win elections".
