In an interview with BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg, Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer shared his views on the recent far-right riots in England. He stated that he does not believe England is a racist country and instead, described it as a nation of decent people. He also commended those who came out after the riots to help clean up and rebuild, calling them the true face of Britain.
Mr. Starmer expressed concern about the rise of the far-right in not only England, but also in other parts of Europe. He referenced recent elections in Germany and France as evidence of this worrying trend. He believes that the far-right promotes easy answers to complex issues and that the best way to combat it is through effective delivery of promises made by the government.
During the interview, the Prime Minister also addressed the controversy surrounding changes to the winter fuel payment. He acknowledged that his government will have to make unpopular decisions in order to bring about much-needed reforms after 14 years of Tory leadership. However, this decision has also sparked potential rebellion in Parliament next week.
