SIR Keir Starmer’s closest aide sensationally quit today amid bombshell claims she was peddling rumours about Angela Rayner’s private life.

Carolyn Harris has resigned as the Labour leader’s parliamentary private secretary in the latest twist in the party’s bitter civil war.

Sir Keir Starmer has been hit by a fresh blow after his closest parliamentary aide was forced to quit in the bitter briefing war between his team and allies of his deputy, Angela Rayner

It is understood that Team Rayner had demanded her scalp after blaming her for dodgy briefings.

Labour has been plunged into utter turmoil in the wake of of their electoral bloodbath.

As Sir Keir moved to sack Ms Rayner in his botched reshuffle on Saturday night, Ms Harris allegedly briefed scurrilous and baseless details about her private life.

The move sparked uproar among the deputy’s allies.

Falling on her sword, Ms Harris said it had been an honour to serve Sir Keir.

Angela Rayner (pictured with Keir Starmer) was said to be let fuming after rumours were peddled about her private life as the Labour civil war turned personal

In a statement, the MP for Swansea East said: “It has been the proudest moment of my career to co-chair the campaign that saw Keir Starmer elected as Labour leader, and to serve as his PPS for the past year.

“Stepping back from this role is the right thing at this moment, coming as it does after some trying personal times and an ever-increasing workload as Deputy Leader of Welsh Labour.

“I have enjoyed every minute, and look forward to supporting Keir the best way I can in the months ahead.”
