SIR Keir Starmer will launch Labour’s national election campaign tomorrow, declaring that “a vote for Labour is a vote to support our nurses” and promising that the party’s new leader in Scotland can unite people north of the border.
At a press conference this morning, the Labour leader will outline his party’s offering in May’s Holyrood, Welsh Senedd and English mayoral elections.
Sir Keir will attack Labour’s rivals and insist that the party is “reconnecting” with voters.
‘People up and down the country are asking whose side is the Labour government on and coming up with the answer: not workers,’ Unite general secretary Sharon Graham says
