Keir Starmer loves Britain the most

The speech was an attempt to celebrate Britain and attack Nigel Farage.


Keir Starmer is on a mission to reclaim British patriotism.

The prime minister has just finished his conference speech in Liverpool, addressing a hall full of delegates waving flags from England, Scotland and Wales.

In some ways this was an attempt to celebrate Britain, its values, and its triumphs. In other very clear ways it was an attempted attack on Nigel Farage.
