Andy Burnham expresses unease about Labour voters who drifted off to Ukip, but his concern won't be shared so much by his boss, who recently said voters for Nigel Farage's party were "motivated to some extent by racism" Speaking in 2007, Mr Corbyn accused Tory MPs of "hiding very negative attitudes towards ethnic diversity in our society" when they raised concerns about the migration levels Britain had been experiencing. Given his apparent relaxedness about immigration, it may be unsurprising that he failed to mention the issue in his first Labour conference address last year as party leader.
