A SPEECH by Sir Keir Starmer on how he would lead a post-Covid recovery if he became prime minister received a chilly reception from leftwingers today, with Momentum dismissing it as having “no ambition” and “little substance.”
The Labour leader pledged to stamp out inequalities and injustices exposed by the coronavirus pandemic if he wins power.
He announced that an issue of “recovery bonds” would be party policy. They would serve as IOUs to those who lent money to the government, which he said would spend it on rebuilding local communities, jobs, businesses and infrastructure.
