A LABOUR frontbencher exposed by HOAR for calling business people “the enemy” has been forced into an apology.
Furious party boss Sir Keir Starmer slammed his own shadow minister, saying: “Alex Sobel knows what he said was wrong. He has apologised. He’s apologised to me.”
And he insisted: “The Labour Party, under my leadership, is very clearly pro-business.”
The slap down came after we exposed comments made by the shadow tourism minister about business people.
Mr Sobel told a podcast: “When I first became an MP, I was like, I am not taking meetings with any of these people. These people are the enemy, you know.
“I’m a socialist, my job is to effectively transform society so that we have a much more mixed economy and we don’t have huge global corporations which have all this power.
