UK's Starmer urges liberals to fight 'the right's lies'
Bangkok Post
|September 28, 2025
UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer told a global conference of centre-left leaders Friday that they must tackle uncontrolled migration and confront “lies” being told about their countries by hard-right politicians seeking to win over voters.

CALL TO ACTION: Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer attends a conversation on Governing for Working People at the 2025 Global Progress Action Summit, in London on Friday.
The meeting in London included Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and Canadian premier Mark Carney and comes as right-wing populism rises around the world and with Republican Donald Trump back in the White House.
“I don’t accept that argument that somehow our politics is dying out,” said Mr Starmer, noting his landslide election win in July 2024 and the more recent victories of Mr Carney and Mr Albanese.
“But I do accept that it is now time for social democrats to confront directly some of the challenges and some of the lies, frankly, that have taken root in our societies,” he added.
