The full scale of the rebellion against Sir Keir Starmer became clear today after MPs who abstained from last night's vote branded him 'weak and guilty'.
Ministers backed down last night in a stand-off with the House of Lords, which has repeatedly refused to let them change the law to direct funds and boost UK economic growth.
The Tory leader is said to have berated Al Carns outside the House of Commons voting lobbies last night when she spotted he had helped rescue the Prime Minister.
The Middle East energy shock could plunge the UK into recession and wipe close to £70billion off the economy over the next two years, according to a doom-laden report.
Labour MPs chose by a large majority not to subject Sir Keir Starmer to an inquiry into whether he has lied to Parliament about his decision to appoint Peter Mandelson as US ambassador.
