GB News host Tom Harwood has torn into Sir Keir Starmer's latest U-turn, questioning if the Prime Minister "believes in anything at all".In his speech on immigration last month, Starmer claimed that Britain could one day become an "island of strangers", with many striking similarities in the language to former firebrand Conservative MP Enoch Powell.FULL STORY HERE.
00:00Does our Prime Minister believe anything at all?
00:03I don't think so. You know, if I've got these principles, I've also got these others, if you don't like them.
00:08I suppose it's completely fine to be a politician who doesn't believe in anything if you have a programme for government, at the very least.
00:16The problem is, it's not that he doesn't believe anything and is sort of picking one lane and going down that for expediency.
00:23It's his veering from one lane to the other, constantly, week after week.
00:27It's a different Prime Minister saying a different thing.
00:30Islands of Strangers, oh, I'm so sorry, that was a little bit racist.
00:33I'm going to cut these benefits. No, I'm not going to cut these benefits.
00:36I mean, what does this man actually think?
00:39I'm not sure he actually has any kind of overriding principle driving him or even an ideology driving him.
00:47It's absolutely absurd.
00:48But I think he tried to sound a bit, you know, down with the public with those comments.
00:53I understand people are worried about immigration.
00:56I understand your concerns about integration and the future of this country.
01:01But, but, but, but, but, and a few left wingers get a bit upset with him and he's forced to backtrack.
01:06I mean, it is utterly extraordinary.
01:08It's embarrassing.
01:09Because Enoch Powell never said the words Islands of Strangers.
01:13He said the word strangers, not Islands of Strangers.
01:16I mean, it's not even a quote.
01:19It's an illusion at the very most.
01:21I mean, you really have to be trying to find something Powellian about what Keir Starmer said in order to create this comparison.
01:29I mean, it's a complete fabrication.
01:31He's apologising for other people's interpretation of words that he said and didn't even write himself, although he should have read them really in advance, from his speech writer.
01:43And a prime minister looks rather weak, don't you think, if they're apologising for how someone else interprets their words wrongly.
01:49I mean, it's nonsense, isn't it?
01:52I'm sure, I'm sure we could find hundreds and thousands of words that Enoch Powell said.
01:57Shall we just, shall we strike them all off?
01:58The acceptable, agreeable, political lexicon.
02:02I mean, shall we just, I mean, if Enoch Powell said something about fish fingers, are we not allowed to talk about fish fingers?
02:09I don't know why.
02:09Absolutely not.
02:09I don't know why I'm talking about fish fingers.
02:10Maybe I just want some fish fingers.
02:11You mentioned fish fingers earlier, actually, before the show.
