Keir Starmer condemned far-right riots as 'organised, violent thuggery' but must also tackle underlying causes like Brexit-fueled xenophobia, according to the Rejoin EU Party.
Research suggests that Brexit legitimized and increased racism and discrimination in the UK, with the Leave campaign spreading false claims about immigrants.
Counter-demonstrators' response to rioters indicates Labour has nothing to fear from calling out controversial figures like Nigel Farage, whose comments may have fueled the unrest.
The prompt police response to the recent riots and negative public perception of Farage, including among Leave voters, suggest a shift in attitudes towards anti-immigration rhetoric.
