Abbott calls Starmer’s migration comments ‘essentially racist’ at rally
Thousands of trade activists, unionists, and campaigners gathered to ‘send out a message’ to the Federal government at a presentation in central London.
The Prime Minister said the UK ran the risk of ending up being ‘an island of complete strangers’ when he unveiled plans for tighter controls on immigration in a major speech last month, leading to a mixed response from different parties. Resolving the demonstration crowd in Whitehall, Ms Abbott– who was formerly suspended by Labour in 2023 before being allowed to run in last year’s general election– stated there was an international struggle to ‘fight the abundant and the effective (and) to fight the racists’, including in her own celebration. Reform’s leader Nigel Farage formerly said his celebration ‘really much enjoyed’ Sir Keir’s speech, as it showed he was ‘learning a great offer’ from them.
