Anne Marie Trevelyan

Sir Keir Starmer claimed that Conservative MPs are "trying to throw mud around" by raising the meeting ahead of the local elections.

The MP for Berwick-upon-Tweed added she had been subjected to "wandering hands" by "half a dozen" men in Westminster, some of whom were "repeat offenders".

Berwick MP Anne-Marie Trevelyan has resigned as a parliamentary private secretary in the Department for Education.
