Keir Starmer: ‘We can’t win power by spending. We need to reform and create wealth’

Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, has refused to confirm whether a Labour government would increase spending on public services, stating that responsible economics and reform are necessary to grow the economy and invest in public services.
Unite, Labour's largest union backer, and others have called for the party to be more ambitious in its pledges, but Sir Keir insists that his promise to reform public services is bold and focuses on long-term solutions rather than quick fixes.
