28.09.2025 โ‡ข The Day Starmer Battled Reform's 'Racist' Plans
โŒจUK media opened the day highlighting escalating Russian attacks on Kyiv and the potential for a Gaza peace deal. However, domestic political struggles quickly dominated coverage, with Labour leader Keir Starmer facing reports of party dissent and dire poll ratings. By late morning and throughout the afternoon, Starmer's strong condemnation of Nigel Farage's Reform party migrant plans as 'racist' became the central focus of numerous outlets, as the Labour Conference began. Despite this, scrutiny of Starmer's leadership continued, with some reports even labeling him the least popular prime minister on record. In the evening, news of a mass shooting at a Michigan Mormon church gained significant traction, alongside Europe's Ryder Cup victory. The day concluded with the identification of the Michigan shooter and new 'good citizen' tests for UK immigrants.
