Sir Keir Starmer has admitted he "deeply regrets" using the phrase "island of strangers" in an immigration speech that drew immediate comparisons to the divisive rhetoric of Enoch Powell.
The Labour leader said he was "not in the best state" to deliver the press conference, which took place just hours after an alleged arson attack on his family home. He explained that he had considered cancelling the event after the fire at his property in Kentish Town left him and his wife "really shaken up."
