Far right is very real threat, says Keir Starmer
Briefly

Sir Keir Starmer expressed deep concern over the rise of the far right in Europe and the UK, stating, 'I'm worried about populism and nationalism and the politics of the easy answer.' He emphasized the need to confront these ideologies through progressive policies rather than succumbing to simplistic solutions. Starmer's remarks were framed within the context of recent riots exacerbated by anti-immigration sentiments, indicating a critical need for responsible governance that builds societal trust and unity.
During his visit to Paris, Starmer noted that 'the best way to deal with the snake oil of populism and nationalism was through delivery and showing there are progressive, democratic answers.' He highlighted the importance of demonstrating a commitment to tackling economic and social issues through effective governance to refute the hollow promises often associated with far-right populism.
