Keir Starmer calls for general election and pledges to keep taxes for workers ‘as low as we can’

The Independent  

Keir Starmer last night issued fresh demands for a general election and said that tax levels for working people would be as “low” as possible under a Labour government. Asked whether he wanted to cut taxes for those on the lowest incomes, the Labour leader said: “I want to keep the burden on working people as low as we can.” In a speech on Saturday, Mr Starmer claimed his project of reforming the party in the aftermath of the Corbyn era meant the next government would be New Labour “on steroids”. Warning that Labour must change its “entire culture”, going even further than Tony Blair’s symbolic rewriting of Clause Four in 1995 to abandon the party’s longstanding commitment to public ownership, Sir Keir said he didn’t care if people thought he was conservative. Insisting that his party must understand “precious” parts of Britain's “way of life”, communities, and environment are worth preserving”, he added: “If that sounds conservative, then let me tell you: I don’t care.” It comes as the Labour leader is also considering plans to allow millions of EU citizens to vote in general elections under a Labour government.
