The Tory Party has undertaken a kind of “McCarthyism” by trying to find “woke agendas” in British civic institutions, Sir Keir Starmer has said.
In his speech at the Civil Society Summit in central London on Monday, the Labour leader said the Conservatives were waging a war on “the proud spirit of service in this country”.
Sir Keir said: “The Tory Party has undertaken a kind of weird McCarthyism, trying to find woke agendas in the very civic institutions they once regarded with respect.”
He said the Tories seem set on on “sabotaging civil society to save their own skin”, adding: “It’s desperate, it’s divisive, it’s damaging.”
Rod Liddle joins Jeremy Kyle and Rosie Wright to discuss the Labour leader’s comments.
