SIR KEIR STARMER is “selling Labour’s soul and turning it into a pound shop Tory tribute act” because he thinks it will win him power, SNP Westminster leader Stephen Flynn charged today.

The Aberdeen South MSP argued that Scotland “deserves better than a damaging choice of two pro-Brexit Tory Prime Ministers, but that is all the Westminster parties have to offer.”

His comments came after Sir Keir ignored internal party democracy and vowed his left-wing predecessor Jeremy Corbyn would never again be a Labour MP after being thrown out of the parliamentary party in 2020.
