Keir Starmer has brutally attacked the Reform UK leader once again claiming Nigel Farage is the “enemy of the national renewal.”
Starmer told Labour delegates during his conference speech that they must “fight” with everything they have and slammed Farage over his immigration policies for the second day in a row.
The Prime Minister admitted Labour has become a “party that patronised working people” amid immigration and launched an attack on Farage and Brits who support mass deportations.
Starmer said, “If you say or imply that people cannot be English or British because of the colour of their skin, that mixed heritage families owe you an explanation, the people who have lived here for generations, with their children here, working in our hospitals, our schools, running businesses, if you say they should now be deported, then mark my words, we will fight you with everything we have because you are the enemy of national renewal.”
The Prime Minister said: “We had become a party that patronized working people.
“There are still some people who can’t listen in good faith on this issue, who say we can ignore the crisis in our asylum system, so long as we get the economy moving.
“I have to say to those people very directly, we will tackle this issue.
“The British people are not unreasonable. They’re pragmatic, compassionate, tolerant.
“That’s who we are. What people wanted before, that hasn’t changed.
“Secure borders are also vital for a decent, compassionate country.
“Controlling who comes here is an essential task of government, and there’s nothing compassionate or progressive in a vile trade that loads people into overcrowded boats, puts them in grave danger in the Channel, and ultimately exploits human desperation and hope.
“We will stop this. We will smash the gangs. We will crack down on illegal working, we will remove people with no right to be here, and we will secure Britain’s borders.
“But there is a line. A moral line. And it isn’t just Farage who crosses it.
“Controlling migration is a reasonable goal. But if you throw bricks and smash up private property, that’s not legitimate, that is thuggery.
“Free speech is a British value and we have guarded it for centuries. But if you incite racist violence and hatred, that is not expressing concern. That is criminal.”
The Reform UK leader was quick to hit back at Starmer saying the Prime Minister’s “racism” attack is a “desperate last throw of the dice.”
Farage accused the Prime Minister of inciting violence against Reform UK politicians and accusing 250,000 of Reform members and millions of being racist, this is a “very low blow.”
Farage said, “Let us be clear, Reform want illegal migrants deported from our country… Reform want the benefit system to be for British citizens only, not for foreign born nationals. Reform want foreign criminals removed from our country ASAP.
“Labour say this policy is racist and immoral, and by implication that Reform supporters, voters and sympathisers are racist too.”
Farage added, “This language will incite the radical left… it directly threatens the safety of our elected officials and campaigners.”
He said Starmer accusing him of being a “racist” is a “desperate last throw of the dice from a Prime Minister who’s in deep trouble, a Prime Minister who can’t even command the support from half of his party.”
