Sir Keir Starmer has condemned death threats made against Reform UK leader Nigel Farage despite being accused of “inciting violence” against the party leader for weeks.

Fayaz Khan was jailed for five years this week after making a death threat against the Clacton MP in a TikTok video last year.

Addressing Mr Farage in the video, the Afghan migrant who has an AK-47 tattoo on his face, said: “I want to come to England to go pop pop pop.”

The Reform leader said he was “happy with the win” following the sentencing hearing at Southwark Crown Court on Tuesday but said he was “deeply, deeply concerned” the small boat migrant would freed in 18 months.

He attended the court hearing with security guards.

Khan shouted at Mr Farage as he was taken down to the cells after being sentenced – accusing him of wanting to “use me because you want to be prime minister”.

Speaking at Prime Minister’s Questions today, Sir Keir said he wished to “condemn unequivocally” the threats made against Mr Farage”.

He said: “Today marks four years since the horrific murder of Sir David Amess.

“Sir David was much loved across the house, kind and generous, and I know it was a huge loss to many members opposite. May he rest in peace.

“As we remember Sir David and our friend Jo Cox, of course, I want to take this opportunity to condemn unequivocally the death threats made against the honourable member for Clacton.

“I know the house will welcome the justice that has been done.

“Whatever our disagreements, we are all parliamentarians, and I won’t stand for violence or threats against our democracy.”

However, just days ago, Reform’s policy chief Zia Yusuf accused the Prime Minister of “demonising” Mr Farage because he “knows he cannot beat Nigel at the ballot box.”

Sir Keir has denied the accusation.

In his keynote speech at the Labour Party conference last month, the Prime Minister claimed the Reform UK leader was the “enemy” of his pursuit for national renewal.

He said: “When was the last time you heard Nigel Farage say anything positive about our future? He can’t. He doesn’t like Britain, he doesn’t believe in Britain.

“He wants you to doubt it just as much as he does. He resorts to grievance, they all do.

“They want to turn this country, this proud country, into a country of victims.”

The row led Mr Farage to warn that Sir Keir’s language “will incite violence”.

The Reform UK leader claimed: “This language will incite and encourage the radical left.”I’m thinking of Antifa and other organisations like that.

“It directly threatens the safety of our elected officials and our campaigners, and, frankly, in the wake of the Charlie Kirk murder, I think this is an absolute disgrace.”
