Keir Starmer’s speech leads Unite to call for assurance over further austerity – UK politics live

Union’s comments follow Labour leader’s speech in which he said big spending could not solve all the UK’s problems

Starmer says voters looked at Labour again in 2022. And he felt, “for the first time in a while that we could return their gaze with confidence”.

But Labour must not rest on its laurels. It needs to push forward, and show it can be a “bold, reforming government”, he says.
