Diane Abbott hasn’t held back in her latest comments about Prime Minister Keir Starmer, accusing him of echoing far-right talking points and calling his immigration speech “fundamentally racist.” Speaking to a cheering crowd at an anti-austerity rally, the long-standing Labour MP shared just how disturbed she was by Starmer’s recent language on migration.
The controversy stems from a speech Starmer gave last month, where he outlined Labour’s plans to cut the number of migrants coming to the UK. His comments included the now widely criticised line warning that Britain could become “an island of strangers.” While he claimed to celebrate the country’s diversity, his critics felt otherwise.
