We must each together stand establishment against all attempts to spread hate,” he said.

I want to take this occasion to thank the Hindu community for your donation to Britain, for everything you do for us, whether its culture, business, the fiscal sector, the NHS, supporting your community through the cost of living. Your donation to Britain is huge. You’re an integral part of Britain, the history, the present and veritably much the future, ” said Starmer.
