Keir Starmer: only a federal UK ‘can repair shattered trust in politics’
Labour leadership frontrunner calls for new powers for England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland after Brexit
Keir Starmer, the Labour leadership frontrunner, has called for a fully federal UK, devolving power to the nations and regions of England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland after Brexit.
The shadow Brexit secretary said only a new federal structure for the UK could “repair the shattered trust in politics”, amid growing clamour in Scotland for another independence referendum.
