Dame Margaret Hodge echoes calls for Labour to be bold in supporting multiculturalism, too
Labour has consistently been “too frightened” to talk about immigration and must show leadership on the issue, a party grandee has warned, as she said the party ignores underlying anger among some voters “at our peril”.
Keir Starmer is also facing calls to draw up a new strategy to boost support for multiculturalism following the outbreak of violent scenes over more than a week. It comes with party figures inside and outside government considering how to address some of the wider issues they believe contributed not only to the unrest but also to the low election turnout and strong showing for Reform UK.
