Anas Sarwar Joins Starmer Migration Language Revolt

mdi-fullscreen

Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar has joined the ranks of senior Labour figures backing off Starmer’s language on migration. Nothing terrifies a UK politician more than confected Enoch Powell hysteria…

Sarwar refused to back Starmer’s rhetoric: “Well it’s for the prime minister to use his own language… the prime minister also said that he values the role of migrants he also said he supported an immigration system that worked.” Labour struggling to come to terms with their own policy…

Sarwar joins Sadiq Khan, Eluned Morgan, David Blunkett, Yvette Cooper and a smattering of more critical Labour backbenchers against the language. Wait for Andy Burnham to express his disappointment…

UPDATE: Andy Burnham says he won’t “give a running commentary” on the PM’s language.
