The Labour leader is in Canada for a summit of political leaders, as he seeks to burnish his image on the world stage.
Norway’s premier Jonas Gahr Store and Jacinda Ardern, former prime minister of New Zealand, are among the other leading names at the event for “progressive” politicians this weekend.
They added: “The two leaders discussed the opportunity presented by a transition to clean energy, for jobs, investment and the economy. He has also warned of the joint challenges that make up an “axis of instability” both in the UK and internationally. “It goes down this slippery slope. And if you can’t have a wall and a fence, you have some of the gimmicks that we’re seeing in the United Kingdom.”
Labour officials are emphasising Sir Keir’s background as a director of public prosecutions in making the case that he could manage organised immigration crime if handed the keys to No 10. Shadow foreign secretary David Lammy visited Montreal alongside his party leader, as he hit out at the current “ad hoc” relationship between the UK and EU and called for more regular formal meetings.
