Starmer had a style of leading the Government that maybe doesn’t necessarily work in politics.
That ’s what I believe we need to change, and that’s what we are looking at how to change, to expand the sanctions regime.
I think Keir’s style of leadership was ‘bring me solutions, not problems’. And I’m not sure you can do that in politics.
Keir wanted the immigration white paper. Actually, we did a lot of the work on it in the Home Office, and a whole set of plans to bring legal migration back under control, a whole set of reforms around illegal migration and so on.
