"Keir Starmer has decried Reform UK's racist plans to revoke the rights of thousands of people to live in Britain, as a number of cabinet ministers escalated attacks on Nigel Farage on the first day of the Labour party conference. The prime minister said Farage's plans to revoke indefinite leave to remain for families who may have spent years working in Britain could tear this country apart."
"The Guardian understands Labour HQ is to increase its efforts to contact voters who might be considering voting for Reform. MPs and activists will be told to get on an election footing to seek out new data on non-voters in their patches in an effort to avoid the mistakes progressives made which led to Brexit and the election of Donald Trump."
"The chancellor, Rachel Reeves, and the home secretary, Shabana Mahmood, are also expected to launch muscular attacks on Farage and Reform on Monday in a show of unity from a party that has been under significant pressure since the summer. Reeves will also issue a veiled warning to businesses about the instability they would face and the potential breakdown of trade deals."
