Sir Keir Starmer says a 'rigorous system' for selecting candidates has been put in place by Labour.
Disgraced MP Jared O'Mara would never have been chosen as a Labour candidate under new selection processes, party leader Sir Keir Starmer has said.
Following his shock election, O'Mara, who has cerebral palsy and was diagnosed with autism in 2018, had promised "every single disabled person out there" he would be an "ally, friend and champion in Westminster". Lord Paul Scriven, the former Lib Dem leader of Sheffield Council, was at the count where O'Mara's victory was declared in June 2017."When it was clear that he was struggling, why didn't they put in extra support - both for him as an individual, but also for the people of Sheffield Hallam."
