PM taking on Reform in fight 'for the soul of our country'

SIR Keir Starmer said the UK stands at a “fork in the road” as he sought to unite Labour and the country behind him against Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.

- 

The Prime Minister told Labour's party conference in Liverpool that the country faced a “defining choice” for its future.

There was a “fight for the soul of our country” which was as big a challenge as rebuilding the UK from the rubble after the Second World War.

He said: “We can all see our country faces a choice, a defining choice. Britain stands at a fork in the road. We can choose decency or we can choose division.”

The Prime Minister, who went into the party conference trailing Reform in the polls and with his leadership facing questions, said Mr Farage “doesn't believe in Britain” and wants to create “a competition of victims”.
