Multiple journalists, including Newsnight's political editor, tweeted about it yesterday, having been briefed by Labour sources. Even the HIGNFY account was tweeting today that Starmer blackmailed the speaker.

Isn't that the issue? Nicholas Watt tweeted out unnamed source says labour threatened speaker, everyone picked it up and repeated it including MP's and then Nicholas watt clarified he spoke to the speakers office who clarified this wasn't what happened. Starmer has come out saying he didn't do this as well.
Someone is lying, guess we will find out in time

Any evidence of blackmailing? Haven't seen anything yet to back up this claim
