'People feel very scared' Racist rhetoric is returning, PM warns
November 12, 2025
|The Guardian
Decades-old racism is returning to British politics and “makes people feel very scared” Keir Starmer has said, warning that divisive hard-right politics is “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 yesterday, Starmer also gave his strongest signal that the two-child benefit cap would be lifted in the budget later this month.
Asked whether he would scrap the limit, which charities have said is the biggest driver of child poverty in the UK, he said: "I can tell you in no uncertain terms I am determined to drive child poverty down."
