Labour's ‘six steps’ fall far short of needs

LABOUR’S “six first steps,” the priority actions it will take when in government, are testimony to the shrivelled state of the party’s ambitions as well as of it’s long post-Corbyn march to the right.

Voters looking for determined action to improve their circumstances and address the ills scaring society will look in vain.

On the economy, Keir Starmer’s “first step” could well be mistaken for immobility. He pledges to be tough on spending and aiming for low taxes, without spelling out how or where the hoped-for “growth” is going to come from.
