Starmer writes off post-Blair Labour as he pitches to Tory voters
SIR KEIR STARMER has been condemned for insulting a generation of Labour activists as he wrote off the party’s post-Blair history today.
Making a speech to mark the fourth anniversary of the 2019 general election defeat, Sir Keir claimed Labour had lost its way even before the leadership of Jeremy Corbyn, which he routinely denounces.
“Working people up and down the country looked at how we’d lost our way, not just under Jeremy Corbyn, but for a while, and they said ‘no’,” he said.
