Sir Keir Starmer’s Labour conference speech: What he said and what he meant 🔍 Analysis by singharj
“They used to lecture us about fixing the roof when the sun was shining. But take a look around Britain. They haven’t just failed to fix the roof. They’ve ripped out the foundations, smashed through the windows and now they’ve blown the doors off for good measure.
“Just look at what they’ve been through. They were told we’re ‘all in this together’ – yet they paid for a mess made by bankers. They cried out for economic change in a referendum, but their calls went unanswered. They united to defeat a virus only to see the Government break all the rules that they respected.
“My message is this if you’re grafting every hour to buy your own home Labour is on your side. Labour is the party of home ownership in Britain today”: The Tories will put your mortgage up and lose you your home, we’ll make sure you get one: “I didn’t hear that Brexit was about slashing workers’ rights. I didn’t hear people wanting to lower standards on food, animal welfare or the environment. I didn’t hear them wanting to end redistribution.
“So I want to speak directly to the people who left Labour on this issue. Whether you voted Leave or Remain, you’ve been let down.
