KEIR Starmer has insisted it is entirely wrong to suggest Gordon Brown’s masterplan for reforming the UK offers “nothing of substance” to the people of Scotland – despite no concrete pledges on immigration or new tax and borrowing powers for Holyrood.
Labour’s New Britain report outlined over 150 pages the party’s plan to reform British democracy but has been branded the “dampest of squibs” by the Scottish Greens, who said it offered “little in the way of change”.
Starmer said the proposals, drawn up by former prime minister Brown, would be subject to refinement and consultation before being implemented by a government under his command.
