UNITE general secretary Len McCluskey has warned Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer against reneging on the left policy pledges he campaigned on.

In an interview with the Observer published online Saturday, Mr McCluskey said he was keeping Mr Starmer’s 10 campaign pledges — which include higher tax on the wealthy and the abolition of tuition fees — “front and centre” in the coming months and years. 

“The fact is that Keir Starmer ran on a radical programme, some might say a Corbyn programme, and of course I keep this to hand,” he said.
