Andy McDonald tells Labour leader he is unable to oppose calls for £15 an hour and says party ‘more divided than ever’
A shadow cabinet minister has quit Keir Starmer’s top team, citing the leadership’s failure to support a £15-an-hour minimum wage and saying Labour is “more divided than ever”.
Andy McDonald, the shadow secretary of state for employment rights, worked closely with Starmer’s deputy, Angela Rayner, and was regarded by trades unions as a guarantor of their influence in policymaking.
