‘Politicians must confront lies used by populists’, Starmer says in London summit address
In speech to Global Progress Action summit, PM criticises rhetoric describing London as ‘decaying and lawless ’
Progressive politicians must directly confront the “lies” used by populists and counter their “industrialised infrastructure of grievance”, Keir Starmer has said in a speech that included thinly veiled criticism of the rhetoric of Donald Trump.
Addressing the Global Progress Action summit in London, where he also spoke publicly for the first time about the new plan for mandatory ID cards, Starmer took aim at the idea of London as a decaying, dangerous city, one put forward repeatedly by the US president.
