The home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, has accused Nigel Farage of “worse than racist” dog-whistle politics as she described how members of her family had been racially abused near their home in recent weeks.
After a speech calling on Labour and the UK to “fight for our belief in a greater Britain, not a littler England”, she said the Reform leader has “blown a very, very loud dog whistle to every racist in the country” with policies that would reassess the immigration status of people who have been granted a right to settle in the UK.
