Keir Starmer needs to stop OBSESSING over Farage and get on with securing our borders!

In a fiery segment on GB News, presenter Nana Akua has called out the Labour Party for their relentless fixation on Nigel Farage and Reform UK, urging them instead to prioritize the real issues facing the British people—chief among them, border security and immigration control.

“How about the Labour Party quit with the distractions and name calling and get on with the job of securing our borders?” Akua demanded, highlighting what she sees as a dangerous diversion from substantive policy work. She argues that Labour’s obsession with branding Farage’s proposals as “racist” is not only unhelpful but risks exacerbating tensions and even inciting violence against politicians.

At the heart of the debate is Reform UK’s immigration stance, which emphasizes prioritizing British jobs and welfare for UK citizens. The party’s policy would revoke indefinite leave to remain for non-contributing immigrants, requiring them to demonstrate economic value through work or taxes. Akua defends this as a common-sense approach, not rooted in race but in ensuring that newcomers “pay their way.” She points out the hypocrisy in Labour’s criticism, noting their own plans to extend residency requirements to 10 years and introduce stricter tests for employment and English proficiency—measures that echo Reform’s ideas.

The discussion took a poignant turn when Akua referenced a recent synagogue attack by a Syrian-born individual, framing it as an example of genuine racism and terrorism that demands attention over political mudslinging. “Instead of calling policies that ensure people who come to this country from abroad pay their way racist,” she said, “how about those in power quit with the distractions and get on with the job?”

Akua’s comments come amid Labour’s party conference, where promises of sweeping changes—from the NHS to public safety—were made, but often without clear funding or detailed plans. Critics like Akua warn that this pattern of “slogans over substance” fails to address the migrant crisis head-on.

In a heated exchange with commentator Fahheima Muhammad, the conversation delved into whether Reform’s rhetoric fosters division. Muhammad argued that framing immigrants as “us vs. them” attracts racist supporters and lacks compassion, while Akua countered that the focus is purely on economic contribution, regardless of background. “A lot of them are. Yes,” Akua acknowledged when pressed on whether some Reform supporters hold racist views, but she stressed that the party’s core policies are about fairness for all UK citizens.

As the UK grapples with ongoing challenges in migration and integration, Akua’s message is clear: It’s time for Labour to deliver real action for the British people, not endless name-calling.
