Labour will make UK best G7 economy, Keir Starmer pledges
At his new year speech last month, Mr Sunak set out his own five goals for his premiership, which. like those set out by Sir Keir, included growing the economy.
He also promised to halve inflation this year, ensure the UK's debt is falling, cut NHS waiting lists, and pass new laws to stop small boat crossings.Momentum attacked Sir Keir for abandoning promises he made when running for Labour leader in 2020 including, introducing common ownership of energy, water and rail.
"These policies are more vital and popular now than ever - yet today, his promises lie in tatters, ditched in favour of the reheated Third-Way Blairism typified by these latest, vapid 'missions'," a spokesman said. Asked on the BBC if he had broken pledges on common ownership, Sir Keir argued that he had to "adapt" to changing circumstances such as the war in Ukraine, the coronavirus pandemic and the "kamikaze budget" under Liz Truss.
He said he would consider what was affordable and that the public wanted "a government of sound money".
