The Labour leaders' new five ‘national missions’ mocked by Tory minister as ‘cosplay conservatism’
Labour Party leader Sir Keir Starmer delivers a speech at the head office of the Co-Operative Group in Manchester, unveiling plans for a mission-led Labour government, with five national missions setting out his objectives for a Labour government if the party gains power at the next general election

LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer has ditched “cast-iron” socialist pledges such as public ownership in favour of already discredited “third way Blairism,” campaigners charged today.

Tory ministers mocked his new five “national missions” as an attempt to “cosplay conservatism.”

Sir Keir, elected in April 2020 promising a left-wing agenda, pledged in a speech in Manchester today to secure the “highest sustained growth in the G7, make Britain a clean energy superpower, improve the NHS, reform the justice system and raise education standards.”
