Labour leader accuses SNP and Tories of being ‘stuck on pause’, but urges activists not to desert the mainstream
The next Labour government will create a Britain that Scottish people “aren’t just part of, but proud of”, Keir Starmer has pledged, as he accused Tories and Scottish Nationalists of being “joined at the hip” in their desire to keep the country “stuck on pause in the politics of 2014 for ever”.
The UK Labour leader charged Boris Johnson with weakening the union “every day that he remains in power”, telling activists gathered at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall: “I refuse to accept that all that matters is where people were in the Scottish referendum, or the Brexit referendum.”
