'He's actively anti-British!' Ben Habib blasts Keir Starmer's 'shame' of UK as Nigel Farage wages war on Prime Minister

The Reform leader stated: "What does Starmer know about people getting up at 5am to go to work, pay their taxes and still not have enough to pay the bills?

"While a family next door to them doesn’t work and has more money in their pocket. It’s not right or fair. Reform will always support working people and not turn their backs on them."

Backing Farage's claims, Chairman of the Great British Political Action Committee Ben Habib went further, calling the Prime Minister "actively anti-British".

Habib fumed: "Nigel was not really being accurate. I wouldn't say Keir Starmer is unpatriotic, I'd say he's actively anti-British.

"If you look at the rhetoric and the desires he has for this country, they are to the detriment of this country."

Highlighting the recent Chagos deal signed by the Labour Government, Habib told GB News that it is a "damning incitement of everything British".

• Nigel Farage in brutal Boris Johnson dig as he speaks out on potential return - ‘Irrelevant!’

Habib explained: "Let's look at the Chagos deal, I highly recommend viewers read the recitals to the to the agreement, which sets out the foundations of why we gave Chagos away, and it is full of mia culpa as far as far as the United Kingdom is concerned, as far as our history is concerned, as far as how we got into control of those islands is concerned.

"It is a damning indictment of everything British in those recitals, all of its faults, including apologising to the Mauritius, in effect for crimes committed wrongdoings by the British in the past. What wrongdoings? It's just a declaration."

In a pointed criticism of Starmer, Habib stated: "He is ashamed of our history. He is ashamed of this country and we have tangible evidence for it beyond Chagos."

Offering another example of how Keir Starmer is "embedding the UK in a European framework", Habib reflected on the Brexit deal and how he "tried to reverse it".

Habib recalled: "This man, remember, and we mustn't forget it, wanted to reverse Brexit. He wanted a second referendum on it.

"He wasn't satisfied that the British people, the so-called working class in this country wanted out of the EU, and Starmer wouldn't give it to us. And he's now busy reversing it. He is not just unpatriotic, he is anti-British.

"Last week he basically was moving towards handing military the control over to the European Union, embedding us in a European framework out of which we would never be able to emerge as an independent military force. He was also busy taking down our borders."

Habib added: "Two days before that, he had said that we were likely to become strangers in our own country, and yet he was taking down our borders.

"If you take down the borders of a country and let in 80 million youth from the European Union, you are basically setting aside the nation state that is the United Kingdom. That can only be interpreted as being anti-British."
