Party bosses spoke to the MPs after they retweeted false allegations about Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer.

Sir Keir said he was satisfied with the actions taken by the party and the MPs, who have deleted the tweets.

"There are more important things in the world to concentrate on than a doctored video of me," he added.

A Downing Street spokesman said: "These tweets have rightly been deleted.

"The MPs involved have been spoken to by the Whips' Office and reminded of their responsibility to check the validity of information before they post on social media sites."

Full credit to Starmer.

They should write an open letter of apology to him.

How the Scots Irish Screwed Up America

By Joe Bageant

You may not meet them among your circle of friends, but there are millions of Americans who fiercely believe we should nuke North Korea and Iran, seize the Middle East's oil, and replace the U.S. Constitution with the Christian Bible. They believe the United States will conquer the entire world and convert it to our notions of democracy and fundamentalist Christian religion.

Re PMQs, Newsnight quoted a senior Tory as saying that Starmer is coming across as 'a bit of a smartypants', as if having someone clever in charge would be a bad thing.<laugh>
