Keir Starmer's director of strategy has resigned over the revelation of sexually explicit comments about Diane Abbott in private emails in 2017.
Keir Starmer has been hit by another resignation in Downing Street, following that of the deputy prime minister. Paul Ovenden has resigned as director of strategy over revelations, first published by the Mail, that in 2017 he made sexually explicit comments to Diane Abbott in a private email.
Ovenden was a Labour Party press officer at the time.
The Mail understands that Ovenden had exchanged emails with a former colleague in 2017 in which he retold a story about a 'sex, marry, kill' game involving Ms Abbott that he had overheard.
He then graphically recounted the conversation in which two women described performing sexual acts on Abbott, 71, the veteran MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington.
Ovenden said he resigned to avoid escalating the scandal.
