SENIOR Labour figures welcomed an ally suspended from the party over his links to a sex offender to a drinks event last week.
The Times first reported that Matthew Doyle, who worked in Tony Blair and Keir Starmer’s UK governments before being handed a peerage in late 2025, had gone to the event which was also attended by former health secretary Wes Streeting and Jill Cuthbertson, the acting Downing Street chief of staff.
