Starmer's attack on Reform UK is 'pathetic' and 'stupid,' Labour MP says - London Business News | Londonlovesbusiness.com
""I think this whole thing calling Nigel Farage a racist is quite pathetic. I've seen him really try to take issue with genuine racists in his party. So you can attack Nigel Farage on a whole load of things, but calling him a racist? I really disapprove of that." He continued, "Labour is moving to a position where it could work very well with Reform. That's just the reality for the Prime Minister.""
""He wants to stop the boats, he wants to deport people. So why not make common cause? Why make these pathetic distinctions?" The majority of Labour MPs are in line with the Prime Minister's position, saying Reform's policy on stopping the right to indefinite leave to remain is "immoral." The Chancellor Rachel Reeves told Nick Ferrari that Farage's migration policy is "racist.""
Lord Glasman described claims that Nigel Farage is a racist as "pathetic" and said he has seen Farage confront genuine racists within his party. Glasman suggested Labour could work effectively with Reform UK because both prioritise stopping small boat crossings and pursuing deportations, and questioned distinctions that prevent cooperation. Many Labour MPs oppose Reform's proposal to end the right to indefinite leave to remain, calling it immoral. The Chancellor Rachel Reeves and the Prime Minister characterised aspects of Farage's migration policy as racist, underlining internal party tensions over how to respond to Reform's platform.
