As Starmer looks set to grab the keys Downing Street, the level of disingenuousness in his record is becoming clear. In a clear pitch to the left to win the leadership, he pledged to “end indefinite detention” for immigrants, and close Yarl’s Wood detention centre – an obsessive cause of the far left mainly trumpeted by Corbynista John McDonnell. Now Starmer is claiming to be tough on immigration. He may well have cynically changed position, but does Labour ever really change?
