The Labour party should be ‘less tribal’ and be open to ‘reasonably minded people, whichever way they voted in the past’, Keir Starmer has said. He welcomed Labour’s newest MP, Natalie Elphicke, at a speech in Dover and said her defection was proof that the party was building a broad range of support. Starmer was speaking in Elphicke’s constituency and was asked where he would draw the line with rightwing politicians and whether he would welcome Nigel Farage into Labour. He said he wanted to ‘bring as many people with us as possible’ but added that Farage was ‘the last person who would want to join this Labour party’
