Labour leadership: not only is the debt-to-2019 campaign, Starmer warns

Jan 31,2022 4:21 am

Sir Keir Starmer , has warned that the debt-to Labour's historic electoral defeat on his 2019 campaign alone.

said The leadership candidate, The Party loses votes in the heart of the country for a "long Time " and had lost four General elections in a row.

the people wanted "fundamental change", But did not trust them to deliver work, he told the BBC's Laura Kuenssberg .

He vowed to restore trust in the work "as a force for good and a force for change" and at the end of The Party -struggles internal power.

But he refused to say whether his policies are closer to Tony Blair or Jeremy Corbyn , to: "I want to lead a Labour Party that you trust enough to make fundamental changes.

"I don't need Someone Else 's name, or the badge, to do this. "

The BBC's political editor aims to interview all five Labour leadership hopefuls, before the result is announced on 4. April.

'Overload Manifest'

Sir Keir, who has said that he could "unify The Party " and "forge a path to victory at the next Federal election".

"We have to believe in the unification of The Party and I, I can," he said.

"We spent too much Time in combat against us and not fight the Tories. The groups have to go there in the Labour Party -that you have to. "

Some on The Left blamed the electoral defeat on Sir Keir and the other at The Top of The Party , the promotion of other Brexit referendum.

He said: "We have tried to bring together, to Leave both sides that you have chosen, or to Stay that you have chosen.

"But I think the idea that Brexit was the only question in this election is wrong, or that in our heart of the country, it was the decisive factor, because actually, if you look at what is happening in our heart we have already to lose votes there for a long Time . "

Speaking in a pub in Somers Town , in his Holborn and St Pancras constituency, said he believed labour could win, in the last year of the election, even though the "odds were against us," But added: "at the end, the people do not trust in us.

"that was Partly to do with the leadership, was, rightly or wrongly, partly it's to do with the Brexit, the came anti-Semitism, and the overload of the Manifesto. "

He said labour needed to "restore the trust, But if we only look at the 2019 election-we miss the fact that we have lost four in a row".

He said his priority, as a "socialist morality", would be tackling the "great inequality" in British society and the position of equal opportunities for all, regardless of where they come from and what your background".

"I don't need Someone Else 's name or badge. "

Sir Keir Starmer today would not reveal whether he saw his ideas and his goals for the country so closer to Jeremy Corbyn or Tony Blair .

Instead, when we sat in a pub in North London in his constituency, he wanted to make the argument that different leaders work in different eras, dealing with various problems.

times are changing, in principle, and the next leader, he believes, must look to the next set of questions, and try to have The Party by the scruff of the neck and make it a safe and effective resistance immediately - But with an eye on the political battles in 2024.

But his apparent aversion to plant a flag somewhere to work the political bandwidth is perhaps representative of the problem that he faces in this race.

Hustings planned

Sir Keir added that he has friends, the Tories, and he received the support of colleagues on the Conservative benches, when his father died in the year 2018.

The Shadow Brexit Secretary said that he judged the people "from what you say and who you are, not what party they are".

The Five leadership contenders - Sir Keir, Rebecca Long-Bailey, Emily Thornberry , Jess Phillips and Lisa Nandy are set to take part in a series of hustings around the country, starting in Liverpool on Saturday.

you need the support of 5% of the local parties or at least three members, Two trade unions - from the 14. February, to make it to The Final ballot of party members.

The new leader is announced on 4. April.

It Comes as a grassroots pressure group Momentum women approved Long-Bailey.

The Group , Which was said by Jeremy Corbyn 's 2015 leadership campaign, it is the mobilization of thousands of supporters for the election of a woman for a Long Bailey would, as the next Labour leader.

dynamics of the surveyed members on whether or not you officially back from the wife Long-Bailey, with 70% of those who took part, approved The Plan , and 52% save Angela Rayner as her Deputy.
