​​Labour Conference: Starmer calls Reform plans racist | BBC Newscast

Today, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer has told Laura Kuenssberg he thinks Reform’s policy of scrapping indefinite leave to remain is "racist" and "immoral". ​​ ​​

The policy, which could effectively lead to hundreds of thousands of people who are here legally being deported from the UK, was announced by party leader Nigel Farage last week. ​​ ​​

Speaking on Laura’s BBC One Sunday show, the prime minister was also questioned on asylum hotels, the government’s new digital ID proposals, tax, and questions over leadership pressure from Andy Burnham. ​​ ​​

Laura Kuenssberg and Paddy O'Connell are joined by chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman to unpack the interview. ​
