Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has joined the British Prime Minister in his warnings over the dangers posed by far-right political parties.

It comes as Sir Keir Starmer cracks down on illegal migrants with immigration increasingly a lightning rod for criticism in Europe.

The British Prime Minister hosted his Australian counterpart at Number 10.

Starmer said the topics of discussion included defence, security, trade and the economy.

Albanese said: “We share values and today more so than ever really.”

Later, he was seen heading into the famous door with some Aussie-brewed beers with partner Jodie Haydon.

Albanese and Starmer are both from the progressive side of politics.

Albanese scored a thumping re-election in May.

The other is facing an early reckoning just 14 months after winning power.

The British public is increasingly concerned about illegal migrants, with many crossing the English Channel in boats.

The British PM has announced a mandatory digital ID in a bid to stamp out illegal workers.

The PM declined to say whether he recommended Sir Keir learn the lesson of the Australian Labor Party and muscle up in border control.

Although the two leaders did discuss defence of another kind, Starmer and Albanese’s main mission is to protect the AUKUS pact from being unpicked by Donald Trump’s America First agenda but they’re also both alarmed by the rise of the far right and how this is threatening politics as we know it.

The US President’s unique brand of populism has been matched in Britain by Nigel Farage’s Reform party which is leading the UK polls.

“That sends shivers through the spines on many of our communities,” Starmer said.

“I don’t want to see the rise of populist organisations,” Albanese added.

The Prime Minister later met the King after flying to Scotland.

He said it was an “honour” to see him.
