THE SNP have slated Keir Starmer for embracing the "wrecking ball" of Brexit in his new year speech, suggesting Labour are now just a "carbon-copy" of the Tories.
Starmer said he wanted to embrace the 'take back control' message of the Leave campaign and spread control out of Westminster as he addressed an audience in east London on Thursday.
He confessed to having sympathy with the "basic case" presented by Leave supporters while he was campaigning for Remain and said the "centrepiece" of a Labour government would be a "Take Back Control Bill".
