The Reform UK leader made the accusation in a video message reacting to Starmer’s conference speech.
Nigel Farage has accused Keir Starmer of inciting violence against Reform UK following his accusations that the party’s immigration policy is “racist”. Mr Farage delivered a damning response to the Prime Minister’s annual conference speech, which repeatedly took aim at Mr Farage and Reform.
Sir Keir branded Mr Farage “the enemy”, claiming he doesn’t love Britain and wants to see the country fail in order to continue his march to Downing Street. The Prime Minister accused Mr Farage of peddling the “politics of grievance”, which is trying to turn Britain into a place where you look at your neighbours and no longer see them as “fellow partners in the project of Britain.” Hitting back, Mr Farage said Labour’s conference had been “extraordinary”, pointing to his dominance of all the ministers’ speeches.

“It has been obsessive. Whether it’s the Home Secretary, Health Secretary, it is a constant attack on me and what I stand for.
Mr Farage said that the Prime Minister had given up attack Reform’s arguments, and as a result had decided to “descend into the gutter.”
“Let us be clear, Reform want illegal migrants deported from our country… Reform want the benefit system to be for British citizens only, not for foreign born nationals. Reform want foreign criminals removed from our country ASAP.
“Labour say this policy is racist and immoral, and by implication that Reform supporters, voters and sympathisers are racist too.
Mr Farage says he doesn’t personally worry about personal abuse, but too accuse millions of being racist “is a very low blow.”
“This language will incite the radical left… it directly threatens the safety of our elected officials and campaigners.”
He cited the recent murder of Charlie Kirk, adding: “I think this is an absolute disgrace.”

The Reform UK leader says that he used to think that while he disagreed with the Prime Minister, he was a decent human being. But now says he’s “shocked” by his behaviour and feels “ashamed by what he’s done”.
Mr Farage says the ‘racism’ attack was a “desperate last throw of the dice from a Prime Minister who’s in deep trouble, a Prime Minister who can’t even command the support from half of his party”.
He now concludes that the Prime Minister is “not fit” to be leading the country.
He also hit back at the claims made in Keir Starmer‘s conference speech that Mr Farage doesn’t love Britain. In retaliation, he pointed to his 30-year campaign to make Britain a self-governing country, because he always believed the best people to govern Britain were the British people themselves.
By contrast, Sir Keir Starmer spent year fighting to see Britain governed by Brussels, the UN and foreign courts.
“His total level of denial over broken Britain was quite extraordinary. We all know the roads are clogged, we all know you can’t get a GP appointment, we all know crime is out of control… Britain is broken and it needs fixing.”
Mr Farage concluded that Labour’s conference proved Britain will continue declining.
He set out that the next election will be between Keir Starmer, a “human rights lawyer who will bow down to foreign courts and outdated treaties with no idea of the division open borders have caused in our communities”, and himself.
“The reason we’re leading in the polls is this country has had enough of a failing, gutless political class. It wants real change.”
Mr Farage said Reform will teach Sir Keir and Labour “a lesson” next May at the local elections, a lesson that British political history “will never forget”.
The man on course to be next Prime Minister said he had been left “more determined than ever” following this Labour conference.
