Juliet Rosenfeld – the wife of the late Jewish Care trustee Andrew – has revealed she has rejoined the Labour Party after backing Sir Keir Starmer to become leader.

The psychotherapist claimed she “trusted” Sir Keir “completely on the issues that matter” in a report in The Observer newspaper, which suggested Jewish donors who had abandoned Labour under Jeremy Corbyn were now returning.

Prior to his sudden death from cancer in 2013,  Ms Rosenfeld’s late husband had been one of Labour’s most generous backers.

“I voted for Keir and am delighted he has won,” she confirmed.
