Starmer cosies up to the Sun with post-Conference op-ed

Earlier in the week The Sun had criticised Starmer, saying his anti-Brexit and pro-immigration stance would never get Labour back into power.

Sir Keir Starmer cosied up to Rupert Murdoch’s Sun newspaper today with an op-ed penned for its Sunday edition.

During the Labour leadership contest the MP forHolborn and St Pancras pledged not to speak to the red top following years of hostility under the party’s former leadership.

He later backtracked when it was suggested that he may need the support of the Sun to win the next election.

Pushed byAyesha Hazarika on whether he would give the paper interviews as Labour leader, he said: “Well, let’s get to be leader first, and then you can come back and ask me again.”

But that may not be necessary after he personally penned an article for the tabloid, calling out the prime minister’s incompetence and crediting the military for “stepping up when asked”.

He said: “The government needs to get on with urgently issuing visas to fix the crisis now,” saying Labour will support any emergency measures.

Yet just days ago in the very same paper Sir Keir was criticised for his “anti-Brexit” and “pro-immigration” stance by columnist Trevor Kavanagh, who said such policies will “never lead Labour back into power”.

Writing for The S*n is deeply insulting to the people of Liverpool — one of Labour’s strongest bases of support — & the football community as a whole.

Trying to win back voters lost to the Tories by alienating a group of core working-class supporters is a recipe for disaster.

If @Keir_Starmer heard a word of @IanByrneMP's powerful Hillsborough speech how could he dare write for the S*n?

"Some still pander to the media barons responsible for the headlines which caused such anguish to our people & city. It's hard to swallow now we know the real truth." https://t.co/wVgMXOcmLH

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
