Nigel Farage expressed concern that Keir Starmer’s rhetoric at the Labour Conference could incite violence from the “radical left,” drawing parallels to Donald Trump’s communication style. The Reform leader, known for advocating unrestricted free speech and criticized for promoting divisive messages in the past, disapproved of Starmer’s language.
Farage accused the Prime Minister and his cabinet of engaging in inappropriate behavior by resorting to derogatory remarks. He defended Reform’s policies, including deporting illegal immigrants and restricting benefits to British citizens, emphasizing that these were not racially motivated, despite Starmer’s insinuations.
While Farage highlighted criticism of his deportation proposal affecting long-term residents with indefinite leave to remain status, he cautioned that labeling such policies as racist could spark violent reactions from groups like “antifa” and the “radical left.”
Expressing disappointment in the Prime Minister’s conduct, Farage questioned his fitness for office. He also rebuked Starmer’s implications about his patriotism and asserted his commitment to addressing issues facing Britain.
