Ben Habib has hit out at the Prime Minister in a blistering rant about his response to the rioting that has gripped Britain.
Keir Starmer has promised a firm response to those causing chaos by vandalising property and attacking police officers, while also branding them as ‘far-right’.
Speaking on GB News, Habib said Starmer is ignoring the root cause of why people are so dismayed with the state of Britain.
“Categorising those who want to bring down immigration as ‘far-right’ is already categorising them in a negative way and undermining the argument”, he said.
“They’re saying that those who are pro-reducing immigration are racist. That is effectively what the head of the police and the Prime Minister are saying.
“They’re not listening to the root cause. We voted to reinstate our borders in 2016. We wanted to get rid of freedom of movement.

“The reason Starmer is prepared to give succour on people who are equally as disgusting on his side of the debate is because they follow his belief and ideology.
“He wants to be in the EU. He does not want borders. He is fine with immigration because I don’t think Starmer cares about the nation state that is the United Kingdom.
“He and people of his disposition have some other kind of global construct in their head which they are championing.”
Starmer has reacted to the riots by ramping up the police presence and is hosting another emergency Cobra meeting with police chiefs tonight.
Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley had earlier suggested the “show of force from the police” and “the show of unity from communities” together “defeated the challenges that we’ve seen”.
He also told the BBC his force had carried out dawn raids as they hunt for the most violent perpetrators of the disorder seen in Whitehall last week, about 70 per cent of whom he said had criminal backgrounds.
“We’ve got criminal damage, violence, weapons offences, football banning orders. These are criminal thugs,” Sir Mark said.
Stephens said many police officers had sustained injuries including “fractures, lesions and severe bruising” amid the at times “brutal and ferocious” unrest.
Rehabilitation and psychological support will be offered to officers because “for many, it was absolutely terrifying”, he added.
