SIR KEIR STARMER was accused of endangering the life of Reform leader Nigel Farage in a complaint another Labour minister described as “utter snowflakery.”

The “save Farage” row was confected by Reform bosses after the PM’s Labour conference speech attacking the party, albeit ambiguously, for racism.

This, the anxious Reform owner claimed, “directly threatens the safety of our elected officials and our campaigners … and frankly, in the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder, I think this is an absolute disgrace.”

Ramping up the hysteria, fellow Reform leader Zia Yusuf alleged that Sir Keir had “embarked on a campaign with his Cabinet to incite violence” against Mr Farage.

“The Prime Minister knows exactly what he’s doing. He knows he cannot beat [Farage] at the ballot box. We’ve seen the most extraordinary campaign over 48 hours to demonise Nigel, and he is absolutely inciting violence against him,” the excitable Mr Yusuf added.

He also appeared to threaten disorder should a hair of the Faragean head be touched. There are, he averred, “millions of people in this country who, if anything was to happen to Nigel Farage, will hold the Prime Minister squarely responsible for his actions.”

Migration minister Mike Tapp reassured these anxious millions that the government wanted “all members of Parliament to be safe, and no-one wants any harm to come to Nigel Farage.”

But he added: “If we want to say what we want to say, then we’re in our rights to do that, as are they. That’s freedom of speech.

“This is utter snowflakery from Zia Yusuf, who claims that we’re diminishing freedom of speech whilst at the same time being allowed to say what he wants.”
