Pressure was last night coming from within Labour for Keir Starmer to sack his trade envoy to Turkey over an unauthorised trip.

Afzal Khan, the Labour MP for Manchester Rusholme, is in the self-declared state for a 'series of official engagements' and has met the leader.

The Greek Cypriot government condemned the 'unacceptable' trip by Labour's Afzal Khan, piling pressure on Sir Keir Starmer to sack him.
