SIR Keir Starmers Wikipedia page has been edited to remove a reference to him being a millionaire ahead of his bid to be Labour leader.
The text was taken off the site early on Tuesday morning and was reportedly tracked back to an internet address in North London.
WIKISNEAKS
But Sir Keirs aides have denied they removed the reference, The Telegraph reports.
It comes as the wealthy ex-lawyer seeks to replace Jeremy Corbyn in the wake of the Labour boss disastrous election campaign.
In an effort to appeal to working-class Brits Sir Keir, who owns a 1.8m townhouse in North London, has also denied he was too posh to lead the party.
He told BBC Radio 4s Today: My dad worked in a factory, he was a toolmaker, and my mum was a nurse and she contracted a very rare disease very early in her life that meant she was constantly in need of NHS care, so actually my background isnt what they think it is.”
He added: I actually had never been in any work-place other than a factory until I left home for university.
I had never been in an office.”
The idea that somehow I personally dont know what its like for people across the country and in all sorts of different circumstances is just not borne out.
At first, Sir Keir was believed to be leading a more centrist push to lead the party, but he has since said Labour must not oversteer away from the left-wing politics of Mr Corbyn.
But a former MP Gareth Snell, who was dumped from his Stoke-on-Trent central seat criticised the knight, tweeting: Those of us in leave seats with small majorities in towns and small cities *begged* @Keir_Starmer to listen to us and our constituents when we told him that the partys Brexit policy was losing us votes.”
“He wouldnt listen and we lost.
THORN IN THEIR SIDE
Emily Thornberry was the first to officially throw her hat into the ring for the Labour leadership – days after she was accused of calling Brexit voters stupid.
Ms Thornberry was accused by ex-Labour MP Caroline Flint of mocking Leave supporters to a colleague and has furiously denied the allegations and threatened to take legal advice.
The Islington South MP, a former barrister with a property portfolio worth 4.6m, has also tried to impress working-class voters that have switched allegiances to the Tories.
This morning she claimed she can empathise with people living on council estates because shes been there.
Ms Thornberry, who holds the title of Lady Nugee, was blasted five years ago for mocking a white van man on Twitter and later apologised.
She told Today: People who know me know I come from a council estate.
I was brought up by a single mother on benefits.
What makes me a good politician is, I have had a mixed life, a large amount of life experience.
I can empathise because Ive been there.
Yvette Cooper emerged as another potential candidate for the leader saying she would reflect over Christmas over a potential bid as Wigan MP Lisa Nandy said she may kick off her campaign for leadership in the new year.
Manchester Mayor, Andy Burnham, who is said to be backing Ms Nandy said the party need to revive in the mainstream tradition.
He added: And what I mean by that is a leader in the mould of John Smith, Clement Attlee, people who understood that Labour had to both yes be radical in the change we want to make, but also have a plan that can be acceptable to the majority of British people and we seem to have forgotten that.
Key Corbyn ally Rebecca Long-Bailey is seen as the choice of the current leadership with her flatmate and friend Angela Rayner.
Bungling MP Richard Burgon has also backed Ms Long-Bailey and said he would consider running as her deputy.
