00:00No, the UKPM hasn't told citizens to leave the country for disagreeing with him.
00:09A video is going around on social media which people claim shows Keir Starmer
00:13telling Brits to get out of the country if they don't like what he's doing.
00:17If you don't like the changes that we've made,
00:20I say the door is open and you can leave.
00:26Captions that accompany the video on X, Facebook and TikTok
00:30suggest that Starmer is trying to get rid of British citizens
00:33while welcoming illegal immigrants.
00:35Others appear to frame the video as Starmer's response to an online petition
00:39calling for his resignation and a general election,
00:42which has apparently amassed millions of signatures from disaffected Brits.
00:45However, all of this is misleading, not least because the video is old.
00:49The clip actually comes from a speech that Starmer gave in February 2023,
00:54before he ever became Prime Minister.
00:56He was speaking in response to a report by the Equality and Human Rights Commission,
01:00which said that the Labour Party had made sufficient changes
01:03over the two years before to deal with allegations of discrimination and antisemitism.
01:08Starmer's comments telling people to leave if they didn't like the changes
01:11were directed at members quitting the Labour Party, not Brits leaving the country.
01:16There's no evidence he's told anyone to get out of the UK,
01:20whether in response to the petition or in any other context.
01:23A lot of misinformation has swirled about the internet
01:26regarding the petition calling for Starmer's resignation and a general election.
01:30While it has garnered just under 3 million signatures as of the time of this report,
01:34meaning it will be debated by MPs,
01:36there's nothing stopping someone from falsely registering as a UK citizen and signing it,
01:41provided they give a valid postcode and email address.
01:44There have also been false claims that politicians themselves
01:47have signed the petition thousands of times,
01:50but their recurring names refer to people in their constituencies who have signed it,
01:54not the MPs themselves.
