Labour Leader Faces Backlash Over Bangladesh Migrant Comments

Keir Starmer's remarks during an election event have sparked resignations and criticism from within the party.

Councillor Sabina Akhtar resigned from Labour, citing insult to her Bangladeshi identity.
Starmer clarified his comments, stating no intention to offend and highlighting Bangladesh as a safe country for returns.
Labour candidates in areas with large Bangladeshi populations distanced themselves from the remarks.
A video clip of Starmer's comments was labeled 'misinformation' by Labour, claiming it was edited out of context.
Labour emphasizes its longstanding support and appreciation for the Bangladeshi community in the UK.
