Sir Keir Starmer firmly rejected accusations of being "Nigel Farage in disguise" as he outlined his plans to increase defense spending to 2.5% of GDP while cutting the foreign aid budget. At a press conference, he emphasized the importance of these measures in countering threats posed by authoritarian figures like Vladimir Putin. Starmer criticized Farage for his previous statements regarding Putin and pointed out Farage's absence from a significant parliamentary debate, reinforcing his own political stance as distinct from Farage's views.
Sir Keir Starmer dismissed the comparison to Nigel Farage, asserting his plans for defense spending are crucial to countering threats like Putin, emphasizing he is not like Farage.
Starmer stated, 'Nigel Farage didn't even turn up to the debate in Parliament today. Farage is fawning over Putin,' clearly distancing himself from the Reform UK leader.
