Starmer says he regrets using 'island of strangers' phrase

Took him long enough to decide that. And now all of us who didn't like it are still pissed off and the people who did like it are also pissed off. Good work Keith 👍

Yes, I'm sure you and your large team of script writers, when putting together a piece designed to make you look hardline on immigration had no idea at all that a famous immigration hardliner/fascist often used a very, very similar phrase. And you definitely had no hopes it would be seen as a coded yet deniable dog-whistle. None at all.

This wasn't an error of ignorance, this was an error of judgement and everyone knows that.

When Reform win the next GE it will be your fault Keith.
