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.”
