The Prime Minister, Andy Burnham, says the government must stop “politics of poison” from seeping into the streets. He makes the comment during a closed-doors meeting with MPs and peers on Monday, arguing that political messaging should avoid inflaming fear.
Burnham frames the party’s mission as countering fear with positivity and hope, according to both outlets. The reports describe the remarks in broad terms and do not provide additional detail on specific incidents, policies, or claims about which actors or issues he is referring to.
