The First Minister slammed the UK Labour leader after he shared his concerns over the controversial GRR bill passed by Holyrood.
Nicola Sturgeon has branded Keir Starmer a "pale imitation" of the Tories and challenged his party to provide a real alternative to the UK Government.
The SNP leader said: "Keir Stamer needs to stop trying to be a pale imitation of the Tory government he’s seeking to replace, and actually start offering some positive alternative." She added: "I start to wonder, and I suspect I am not the only one who starts to wonder, if there is anything Keir Starmer is willing to stand up and be counted on in the face of Tory attacks?”
Scottish politics Starmer told the BBC yesterday: "I have concerns about the provision in Scotland, in particular the age reduction to 16 and in particular the rejection of our amendment in relation to the Equalities Act.”
