Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer has insisted a Labour MP was “quite right” to delete social media comments she appeared to repost about the new Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch.

Labour’s Dawn Butler had appeared to share a tweet describing Ms Badenoch as a “member of white supremacy’s black collaborator class”.
