Keir Starmer has publicly criticized the Conservative Party, stating they are in decline and facing a significant challenge from Nigel Farage's Reform Party. During a visit to a glass factory in St Helens, Starmer labeled Farage a 'fake defender' of working people, suggesting his fiscal policies mirror those of former Prime Minister Liz Truss, whose economic strategies face criticism. With Reform appearing consistently ahead in polls, Starmer's remarks aim to solidify Labour's stance against what he perceives as dangerous financial proposals from Farage, highlighting the need for responsible, stable finance to support working families.
With recent polls consistently showing Reform ahead in national polling and the Conservatives a distant third, Starmer used Thursday's event in Merseyside as a direct riposte to Farage's event in London.
Starmer remarked, 'I do think that the Conservative party has run out of road... They're sliding into the abyss. It's very important, therefore, that we say that and identify that.'
