Is the Labour Party inciting violence against Reform voters by calling them racist? Nigel Farage thinks so.
The Prime Minister called Reform’s policies racist. The Health Secretary, Wes Streeting, is calling them racist.
David Lammy is calling them racist. Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson is calling them racist.
In his big speech today, Sir Keir Starmer used language like this: "We must go into battle armed not just with words, but with actions."
Patrick Christys claimed that Labour are 'putting lives at risk'

And then, after Sir Keir Starmer finished speaking, David Lammy sunk to a new low by saying this about Nigel Farage: "I will leave it for the public to come to their own judgements about someone who once flirted with Hitler Youth when he was younger."
Aside from the fact that you just can’t really go around saying that people loved Hitler, it’s also highly defamatory, which is why I suspect the lawyers got on to Mr Mastermind.
Mr Lammy later said: "He has denied it, and so I accept that he has denied it. I would like to clarify that position, because in the end the Prime Minister was keen for us to focus on the policies, not the individual."
Look, there’s not a sorry in there, is there? And it’s disgusting language to use in the wake of the Charlie Kirk assassination, when people on TikTok have already appeared to want Nigel Farage “done next.”
Nigel Farage has already been attacked multiple times. That one was with a milkshake. This one was with rocks.
It wasn’t that long ago that comedian Jo Brand suggested dousing him with battery acid.
Sir Keir Starmer’s speech was basically all about flags today. Bit ironic, given it’s Labour councils who’ve been removing unionist Saint George’s flags all around the country.
Sir Keir Starmer was hoping to ignite some patriotic enthusiasm. Well, it’s a shame that his Cabinet didn’t seem to like it.
Rachel Reeves looked like she’d been crying again. Not just from the top, but from the grassroots, because Ed Miliband and Bridget Phillipson just didn’t want to be there.
Now, when it comes to the racism stuff, when David Lammy says things like this they want people to think that Reform voters are racist.

They want people to think that all Reform politicians are racist.
They want people to think that Farage is like Hitler.
What that does is put a target on people’s backs. It puts lives at risk. And I think they know exactly what they’re doing.
