LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) -British Prime Minister Keir Starmer called on his party on Sunday to stop "navel gazing" and unite to defeat Reform UK, accusing the populist party of planning to launch a "racist policy" of mass deportations if it wins power.

A leading rival to Keir Starmer accused the prime minster of presiding over a “climate of fear” within Labour, underscoring simmering discontent as the governing party’s annual conference got underway in Liverpool.

Sir Keir said the conference would be an opportunity to show Labour's alternative to the "toxic divide and decline" offered by Reform. He is under pressure after opinion polls show Labour trailing Reform UK, alongside speculation Great Manchester mayor Andy Burnham could mount a leadership challenge.

President Trump and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer talked about foreign affairs privately for about an hour, including the conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine.

Amping up attacks on his noisiest rival, Prime Minister Keir Starmer framed his political survival as his country’s best hope of defeating populism.
