LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer suffered the humiliation of being called out on racism by a Tory Home Secretary today.
James Cleverly accused him of a “dog whistle” attack on Bangladeshis after Sir Keir had queried why they were not being deported from Britain more frequently.
Mr Cleverly said that Sir Keir had made “this weird dog whistle attack on the Bangladeshi community where he’s claiming that we are not returning people to Bangladesh — which was not true and not relevant because the Bangladeshi community make a tiny, tiny, tiny, less than a half a per cent of small boat arrivals.”
