Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer at Selby football club, North Yorkshire, July 21, 2023
ANXIOUS Labour MPs are warning that Sir Keir Starmer’s lurch towards alignment with the European Union could jeopardise the party’s revival in “red wall” constituencies.
One MP representing a northern seat that voted heavily for Brexit, speaking privately because of Sir Keir’s clampdown on dissent, said that voters were asking him: “What’s Starmer up to?”
Any suggestion that Labour is looking to backpedal on Brexit could lead to electoral defeats, he warned.
Just as German Social Democrats joined the Nazis in singing Deutschland Uber Alles, ANDREW MURRAY observes how Starmer tries to out-Farage Farage with anti-migrant policies — but evidence shows Reform voters come from Tories, not Labour, making this ploy morally bankrupt and politically pointless
