BREAKING NEWS Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer Launches Scathing Attack on Reform UK Ahead of Labour Conference Sir Keir Starmer has launched a scathing attack on Reform UK, calling its plans to abolish indefinite leave to remain (ILR) for legal migrants "one of the most shocking things" he's ever heard. The Labour leader made his comments as he arrived in Liverpool ahead of the Labour party conference. The prime minister has warned that Reform UK will "tear this country apart", with Sir Keir Starmer saying the conference will be an opportunity to show Labour's alternative to the "toxic divide and decline" offered by Reform. This comes as opinion polls show Labour trailing behind Reform UK, with speculation surrounding a potential leadership challenge from Great Manchester mayor Andy Burnham. Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has responded to Sir Keir Starmer's comments, saying they "smack of total desperation". However, the Labour leader remains firm in his stance against Reform UK's policies. The Labour party conference is set to run from September 28 to October 1.
