JEREMY CORBYN told Sir Keir Starmer today that you can’t run from your past, reminding the Labour leader that he had fully signed up to the party’s radical 2019 manifesto.
Speaking after he had formally handed in his nomination papers to stand as an independent candidate in the Islington North seat he has represented for Labour since 1983, Mr Corbyn said of Sir Keir:“I don’t think there is any need for him to diss the past or diss his involvement in it.
“When we came up to the 2019 election, the manifesto and policies and strategies were agreed unanimously by both the shadow cabinet and the national executive.”
