💨 Abstract
Sir Keir Starmer revealed that his niece and wife were attacked for holding hands in public, highlighting the rise in anti-LGBTQ+ hate crimes, which have increased by 462% between 2012 and 2023. The incident has left Starmer concerned about the growing 'toxic division' in the UK. Despite a slight decrease last year, homophobic hate crimes remain significantly higher than five years ago.
