No, UK PM hasn't told citizens who disagree with him to leave the country

A video is circulating on social media which people claim shows Keir Starmer telling Brits to get out of the UK if they don't like what his government is doing.

"If you don't like the changes that we've made, I say the door is open, and you can leave," the Labour Prime Minister says in the video.

Captions that accompany the video on X, Facebook and TikTok suggest that Starmer is trying to get rid of British citizens while welcoming illegal immigrants.

Others appear to frame the video as Starmer's response to an online petition calling for his resignation and a general election, which has amassed millions of signatures.

However, the video isn't recent: the clip actually comes from a speech that Starmer gave in February 2023, before he ever became prime minister.

He was speaking in response to a report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC), which said that the Labour Party had made sufficient changes over the two years before to deal with allegations of discrimination and antisemitism.

The EHRC found in 2020 that the party had acted unlawfully in its treatment of Jewish members while former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn was in charge. Starmer suspended Corbyn and expelled hundreds of members from the party as part of an effort to address the EHRC's findings.

Starmer's comments telling people to leave if they didn't like the changes were directed at members quitting the Labour Party, not Brits leaving the country.

They can also be found in a written press release on the Labour Party website, also dated February 2023 and containing the same wording as the video.

There's no evidence he's told anyone to get out of the UK, whether in response to the petition or in any other context.

A lot of misinformation has swirled about
