A LABOUR frontbencher exposed by Trending In The News for calling business people “the enemy” has been forced into an apology.
Furious party boss Sir Keir Starmer slammed his own shadow minister, saying: “Alex Sobel knows what he said was wrong. He has apologised. He’s apologised to me.”
And he insisted: “The Labour Party, under my leadership, is very clearly pro-business.”
The slap down came after we exposed comments made by the shadow tourism minister about business people.

“I’m a socialist, my job is to effectively transform society so that we have a much more mixed economy and we don’t have huge global corporations which have all this power.
