Sir Keir Starmer has branded comments made by a Labour MP about the Chancellor being “superficially black” as racist.
The Labour leader said Rupa Huq‘s remarks about Kwasi Kwarteng were “wrong”.
The Ealing Central and Acton MP was suspended by the party on Tuesday after her comments emerged.
Sir Keir old LBC: “What she said in my view was racist, it was wrong and she’s been suspended from the whip in the party and that was done very, very quickly.”
