ZARAH SULTANA has warned that Labour aping right-wing slogans will only see what has happened in the US, Brazil and India happen in Britain.
The Independent MP told the “confronting the rise of the far-right” panel at Glastonbury festival's Left Field stage on Saturday warned that the next election will be a fight between “socialism and barbarism.”
“We have to ensure that we defeat Nigel Farage or any kind of fascist incarnation we have at the time,” she said.
Ms Sultana also praised Jeremy Corbyn as “the best prime minister we never had” as she hit out at Sir Keir Starmer for failing to apologise for his “island of strangers” comments.
“That made people unsafe … so shame on the prime minister,” she said.
“We have seen immigration policies that have not been framed around dignity.
“It's a politics that punches down and not up, a politics that scapegoats the most marginalised people.”
She added: “The answer to the politics of hate is the politics of solidarity.
“We have to fight in every possible way — electorally, in our communities, through our trade unions.”
