ANDREW FEINSTEIN, who is challenging Keir Starmer as an independent in the Labour leader’s Holborn and St Pancras constituency, called his opponent’s comments about the British Bangladeshi community “disgusting” during a campaign stop on Thursday.
“He decided for unfathomable reasons to target the Bangladeshi community and Bangladeshi people,” said Feinstein. Starmer’s remarks, he added, were another symptom of “just how reactionary Keir Starmer’s Labour Party have become.”
During a televised interview with The Sun on Monday, Starmer boasted that “on the first few days in government” he would start putting migrants on planes back to their countries of origin.
