US EditionScotland's former first minister Humza Yousaf hits out at Starmer's 'dog whistle' stance on immigration
- Humza Yousaf, the ex-leader of Scotland, condemned Sir Keir Starmer's recent comments on immigration, describing them as a subtle appeal to racial fears.
- Yousaf linked Starmer's remarks to Enoch Powell's 1968 'Rivers of Blood' speech and highlighted the UK Government's new immigration reforms, including a 10-year waiting period for settled status.
- Yousaf emphasized migrants' essential role in the UK, noting their contributions across major sectors and stating that denigrating immigrants undermines those who 'keep Britain afloat'.
- The proposed immigration plan seeks to lower annual arrivals by as many as 100,000, introduce stricter English language requirements, and stop hiring care home staff from abroad.
- Yousaf warned that Starmer's stance risks normalizing right-wing rhetoric and could lead the UK toward political influence from Nigel Farage and his Reform Party.
