Keir Starmer has come out swinging after being accused of echoing Enoch Powell’s infamous rhetoric in his recent speech on immigration. Dismissing the comparisons as “complete nonsense,” the Prime Minister insisted his message was about unity, not division.
Speaking to GB News, Starmer defended his comments after saying Britain risked becoming an “island of strangers” if migration wasn’t better managed. That phrase has drawn heat from some within his own party, with critics highlighting its uncomfortable similarity to Powell’s 1968 warning that white Britons could feel like “strangers in their own country.”
