Labour leader Keir Starmer has promised to “reach out” to SNP voters and earn their trust in the wake of Nicola Sturgeon’s shock resignation
.
He also admitted her success had been “grounded” in persuading former Labour voters to switch to the SNP:“There will be people in your community looking again at the future of Scotland with fresh eyes. We have to meet their gaze with confidence. He added: “Those Scots who lost faith in Britain. They have a point about Westminster. Britain has an economy that hoards potential and a politics which hoards powers. And these two problems feed off each other.”
“They’re not truly invested in Scotland’s success. Anything Scotland achieves within the UK is met with gritted teeth. Seen as a roadblock to the one true goal. And so, they do nothing. He also took aim at the Tory Government of Rishi Sunak, who he is trying to replace as Prime Minister.
