Starmer’s pledge to ‘fight for Britain’ as he seeks to woo undecided voters
KEIR Starmer will today set out Labour’s stall to unde - cided voters as he appeals for the electorate to trust him with Britain ’s ‘money , our borders and our security’.
the Labour leader will tell the public he will fight for them, and that his reforms within his own party have all been to build a platform to ‘serve the British people’.
he will say the transformed Labour Party is ready to meet the ‘core tests’ that voters set for government – ‘economic security, border security and national security’.
earlier this year a poll revealed that almost a third of voters were undecided about who is best to lead the country out of Sir Keir and Rishi Sunak , while another survey suggested a fifth of those who plumped for the Conservatives in 2019 were not sure who to vote for this time.
Despite Labour’s consistent polling leads of 20 points or more in recent months, Sir K eir will acknowledge there are ‘count - less people who haven’t decided how they’ll vote in this election’.
‘they’re fed up with the failure, chaos and division of the tories, but they still have questions about us,’ he will say in today’s keynote speech. ‘has Labour changed enough? Do I trust them with my money , our borders and our security? My answer is, yes, you can – because I have changed this party . Permanently. this has been my driving mission since day one. I was determined to change Labour so that it could serve the British people.’
the Labour leader this month unveiled the party’s ‘first steps’ to change in government. they included slashing NHS waiting lists, recruiting 6,500 teachers and economic stability. But Conservative Party chairman Richard holden said: ‘he has been Labour leader for four years but has failed to set out a clear plan to secure Britain’s future. All he has man - aged is to break the ten promises he made when he ran for the leadership and create a £38.5 billion black hole in his spending promises, meaning Labour would have to put up taxes by £2,094 on every hardworking family.’
