UK politics live – latest updates
Decades-old racism is returning to British politics, and “it makes people feel very scared” Keir Starmer has said, warning that divisive hard-right politics was “tearing our country apart”.
Speaking to the GP and TV personality Amir Khan, the prime minister accused Nigel Farage’s Reform UK of overseeing a return of the racist and divisive politics “that frankly I thought we had dealt with decades ago”.
In the interview, which aired on ITV’s Lorraine show on Tuesday, Starmer also gave his strongest signal that the two-child benefit cap would be lifted in the budget later this month.
