The Prime Minister and his team have intensified their criticism of Mr. Farage, with Starmer even referring to the small boats crossing the Channel as “Farage boats.” In response, Farage claimed that the PM’s attacks were endangering him and his supporters, a claim Starmer refuted.
In an interview, Starmer clarified his position, emphasizing a crucial choice facing the country. He highlighted the option of moving forward with a Labour government focused on national renewal and unity, contrasting it with the potential toxic division that could lead to tearing the country apart.
During an interview with GB News, Starmer criticized Farage for his past statements on migration policy during the Brexit campaign.
