The BBC’s Andrew Marr exposed the crisis that tore apart Labor in a heated interview with Labor’s shadow Chancellor Anneliese Dodds. There is concern that a civil war will break out in the Labor Party, with a growing lWing rebellion against leader Sir Keir Starmer. The BBC presenter noted that “to people watching this looks like a complete disaster.”
Mr. Marr noted: “Ian Lavery, a former party chairman and someone I am sure he knows well, has said that Keir Stamrer has a political vendetta against former leader Jeremy Corbyn.”
Ms. Dodds replied, “I don’t agree with Ian on that. I agree with him on many other things, but certainly not on that.
“We need to make sure we show the Jewish community that we have learned from the EHRC report.”
The BBC presenter replied: “It is not just Ian Lavery, the bakers union has spoken of vindictive and divisive attacks and threatened to withdraw from the party.”

He added: “A lot of people in the Labor Party are talking about civil war. Is it really worth it?”
Ms Dodds struggled to respond, telling the BBC: “It is a great shame on our party that we have ended up in this situation, where the EHRC has had to investigate us and make such recommendations.
“For me, what is really critical is that we are not in a position where we are investigated by the EHRC.
“That is more important than any other consideration.”
The revolt against Sir Keir escalated on Friday when the Bakers, Food and Allied Workers’ Union announced a consultation with members to end its relationship with the Labor Party.
The union president, Ian Hodson, accused the current party leadership of “having a clear agenda to alienate any deputy who considers himself a supporter of socialism and move him to the benches.”
Speaking to HuffPost earlier this week, former Labor Party chairman Ian Lavery warned Sir Keir Starmer that he could face a leadership challenge if “a vendetta” against Jeremy Corbyn continues.
Mr Lavery, who is a strong ally of Corbyn, said: “It seems a lot that this is a vindictive, divisive and provocative move by Keir Starmer.”
