Labour can’t out-kip Ukip, says David Lammy

LABOUR MP David Lammy has attacked a party flier laying out tough anti-immigration polices for trying to “out-kip Ukip.”

The offending flier, entitled “Labour’s tough new approach to immigration,” accused the Tories of having “lost control of our borders and have no idea who is coming in or out of the country.”

“Surprised to see this as a Labour Party flyer,” Mr Lammy posted on Facebook.

“We are a pro-immigration party and should stay that way. Let’s not get drawn into a race to the bottom trying to out-kip Ukip.”

A Labour spokesperson insisted that “immigration reforms are needed to ensure the system remains fair.”
