The Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has appointed ex-Tony Blair aide Matthew Doyle as his interim director of communications, amid a shake-up of the Labour leader’s backroom team.
As well as working for Mr Blair, during and after his premiership, Mr Doyle was also an adviser to David Blunkett.
Mr Doyle previously worked for the Labour Party from 1998 to 2005, and returned briefly to act as TV debates media director for then-PM Gordon Brown during the 2010 general election.
From June 2007 to February 2012, he worked as political director for Mr Blair, once the ex-Labour leader had left office.
Mr Doyle is firmly from the Blairite wing of the party and this has not gone down well with the more left wing Corbyn fans of the party going from the social media reaction.
