Starmer offers more austerity pain for Britain
Labour ‘won't turn on spending taps’ leader says in speech to woo big business
AUSTERITY is Labour’s economic agenda, Sir Keir Starmer announced today in a further lurch to the right.
A Labour government will not “turn on the spending taps,” the Labour leader said in remarks aimed at appeasing the City and the Treasury.
He acknowledged that public services are “on their knees” but offered little prospect of getting them back on their feet again.
