A FORMER Labour cabinet minister has called on Keir Starmer to develop policies that prevent the party from driving Scotland towards independence.
Writing in The Observer, Lord Hain, who served as a Cabinet minister under both Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, said that Labour’s reluctance to admit the failings of Brexit had increased support for Scottish independence.
He said that Brexit has become a “taboo subject” in the party due to the Conservatives' refusal to admit the damage it has caused to the British economy and Labour’s fear of rekindling the argument.
