Nigel Farage has “blown a very loud dog whistle” by proposing an immigration policy that is “worse than racist”, Shabana Mahmood has said.

In a fierce attack on Reform UK, the Home Secretary said the insurgent right-wing party’s plans, which include abolishing indefinite leave to remain, were “immoral” and “extreme”.

In conversation with Tory peer Lord Michael Gove during an event on the fringes of Labour conference, Ms Mahmood suggested Mr Farage had sent an implicit signal to racists allowing him to claim “plausible deniability.”

Reform UK’s Alex Wilson slams the “name-calling” about Nigel Farage at the Labour Party conference “pathetic and childish”.

“It’s almost like Nigel is a bigger feature of the Labour conference than our own! We’re setting the agenda on all these issues.”
