Sir Keir Starmer has boldly declared that the next general election will be a showdown between him and Nigel Farage, claiming the Tories are a “busted flush.” His comments come as Labour and the government both face increasing pressure, especially after the recent local election results, where Reform UK managed to leave both Labour and the Tories trailing.
Speaking exclusively to The Sun on Sunday during a visit to Kyiv, Starmer said the next election will likely come down to him versus Farage. “Certainly, we were planning on the basis that we were likely to be facing Reform at the next election in any event. So that coincides with our thinking,” Starmer said, reported the Sun.
