SIR Keir Starmer said he does not need “lessons” from Nigel Farage on what life is like for working people.

PM says Farage's plans a 'repeat of what Truss did'

The Prime Minister launched a series of attacks on Mr Farage, saying that he wanted to “protect” working people from what his party would do after they set out policy plans earlier this week.

Sir Keir said Mr Farage’s plans to spend “billions upon billions upon billions, tens of billions of pounds, in an unfunded way” was an “exact repeat of what Liz Truss did”

Speaking during a visit to a glass factory in the North West, the Prime Minister said the Clacton MP would not have protected jobs in industries subject to tariffs from the US.
