US president suggests he may embark on a state visit
Sir Keir urged to confirm that future Labour government would not launch ‘another round of austerity’
‘We now need a government that is committed to making different choices,’ Unite leader Sharon Graham says following Starmer's speech

THE leader of Britain’s biggest private-sector union has urged Sir Keir Starmer to confirm that a future Labour government would not embark on “another round of austerity.”
Unite general secretary Sharon Graham said she wants guarantees from Labour that the party is not preparing to make “continued cuts to services and pay.”
Labour leader Sir Keir gave a speech in east London on Thursday in which he vowed to end “sticking-plaster politics” and said no “big government chequebook” would be required to fund his plans as prime minister.
