Sir Keir Starmer has warned that Labour is in “a fight for the soul of the country” with Reform UK as he launched a counterattack against the “lies and division” of Nigel Farage’s populism.
The prime minister challenged the world’s centre-left parties to take on the likes of Reform, who he said uses division to bolster support. It was his latest bid to thwart the party he considers his greatest threat at the next election.
