Starmer’s 10-year plan needs a reset
The IndependentMost voters thought that Keir Starmer was only being realistic when he said that the “work of national renewal” would take more than one parliament. One in seven “regrets” voting Labour, and three in five expect Labour to lose the next election. Angela Rayner, the deputy prime minister, just about managed to get to the right starting point in her Sunday interview with Laura Kuenssberg of the BBC, saying: “I get that people are angry and I get that people are upset.” But that was after starting her defence with, “all MPs do it”, and it was followed by more acres of self-justification. It could have been mitigated somewhat if Starmer, Reeves, Rayner and Phillipson had said: “Sorry, we made a mistake and we will pay it back.” Instead, they have compounded their error by saying “we followed the rules”, we have been “overly transparent” and “all MPs do it”.
