TRYING to “out-Tory the Tories” on immigration will only embolden the far right and “sow the seeds of our own demise,” Nadia Whittome MP told a Labour conference fringe meeting last night.
Ms Whittome described Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer’s meeting with his Italian counterpart, Giorgia Meloni, earlier this month as “the last place that we should be looking to” when it comes to the future of migration in this country.
“We need to remember that this is an extremely far-right government that has employed and funded incredibly brutal methods to achieve its aims,” she said.
