It comes after Deputy PM David Lammy accused Nigel Farage of ‘flirting with the Hitler Youth’ on the BBC earlier today
A TalkTV guest waded in on the deputy prime minister after he accused Nigel Farage of “flirting with the Hitler Youth” on the BBC earlier today. David Lammy was forced to apologise after his astonishing allegation, which Mr Farage dismissed at the time as “complete baloney”. On the BBC, Lammy reasserted that Labour thinks Reform UK’s vow to end indefinite leave to remain and deport people in the UK without citizenship is racist “because it is”. He later rowed back on his claims that Nigel Farage “flirted with Hitler Youth” and said he was “happy to clarify” his comments. On TalkTV, barrister Steven Barrett has urged that David should “resign immediately.”
He added: “I want Merseyside Police to launch an investigation into the Labour Party for a large number of offences. I think it’s disgraceful. I have friends in the Labour Party. They are utterly shocked.”

One person reacted in the comments section on X and said: “Farage isn’t going to take this matter further himself. He doesn’t need to! Lammy only damaged himself with an allegation he could never back up. He later woke up to that fact so withdrew the allegation. But only after the damage had been done. To David Lammy!”
In his conference speech today, Prime Minister Keir Starmer stepped up his criticism of Nigel Farage and Reform UK. He labelled Reform UK’s policy of scrapping indefinite leave to remain as “racist” and “immoral”.
David Lammy’s claims were believed to be a reference to allegations that emerged in 2013 that Nigel Farage sang Nazi songs as a teenager.

Channel 4 obtained a letter written in June 1981 by a young English teacher, Chloe Deakin, at Dulwich College, asking the master of the college, David Emms, to change his decision to appoint a young Nigel Farage as a prefect.
The teacher said: “Yet another colleague described how, at a Combined Cadet Force (CCF) camp organised by the college, Farage and others had marched through a quiet Sussex village very late at night shouting Hitler-youth songs.”
Sir Keir Starmer said in his conference speech this afternoon that there is “a moral line, and it isn’t just Farage who crosses it”.
He also stated that “this party is proud of our flags”, but “if they are painted alongside graffiti telling a Chinese takeaway owner to ‘go home’, that’s not pride – that’s racism”.
