Starmer: ‘Choose my decency over Farage’s division’
Starmer steps up attack on Farage with conference speech
- Sir Keir Starmer has used his Labour conference speech in Liverpool to rally the party against Nigel Farage's Reform UK.
- He framed the choice facing Britain as one between "decency" and "division", urging a fight back against what he called the politics of grievance.
- This follows previous condemnations of Mr Farage by other Labour figures, including Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, who labelled Farage's immigration policies as "racist and immoral".
- The prime minister's intensified stance is partly influenced by concerns over a large far-right march and Reform UK's subsequent policy announcements on immigration.
- Sir Keir aims to present an optimistic vision for a united, fairer Britain, contrasting with what he perceives as Mr Farage's divisive agenda.
