Keir Starmer's Controversial Sunak Attack Draws Backlash
Tory Advert Depicts People with Disabilities
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has come under fire for his latest attack on Rishi Sunak, with critics accusing him of being "desperate" and "ugly." The controversy stems from a Tory attack advert depicting people with disabilities, which Starmer has condemned as "desperate" and "unacceptable."
Labour MPs Express Disapproval
The advert has also sparked fury among Labour MPs, who have accused Starmer of resorting to "gutter politics." One MP said: "This is not the Labour Party I joined. We should be fighting for the rights of all people, not attacking those who are most vulnerable."
Starmer Defends Attack Advert
Despite the backlash, Starmer has defended the advert, saying it is not racist and that he stands by it. He said: "The advert is about the real impact of Rishi Sunak's policies on people's lives. It is not about their race or disability."
Labour Party Faces Criticism
The Labour Party has also faced criticism for a series of other adverts attacking Sunaks on the issue of child sex abuse. Starmer has said that he believes the advert is not racist, but some critics have accused him of using racist stereotypes.
Conclusion
The controversy surrounding Keir Starmer's attack on Rishi Sunak is likely to continue in the run-up to the next election. The Labour leader will need to tread carefully in order to avoid alienating both his own MPs and the wider electorate.
