Starmer says racism and intolerance have worsened in Britain over past decade

Prime Minister Keir Starmer stated that racism and intolerance have worsened in Britain over the past decade, warning that this trend is damaging social cohesion and deterring people from public life. His comments follow a Reuters report finding that some Britons of colour fear a resurgence of racism linked to anti-migrant rhetoric and political focus on crime, after recent unrest including protests in Southampton and rioting in Belfast.
