Starmer criticises Tories after by-election defeats: ‘They’ve given up on government’

Sir Keir Starmer accused the Conservatives of “giving up on government” after two by-election defeats, as he set out the party’s priorities ahead of next year’s general election.

Addressing Labour’s national policy forum in Nottingham on Saturday 22 July, Sir Keir vowed his party can deliver a “Britain that truly serves working people”.

“All they can do now is oppose Labour, attack our plans.”
