Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer ‘s plans to use 2022 to set out a plan to “build a new Britain” that “works for everyone” can’t be trusted.
In his New Year’s message, Sir Keir said the country needed leadership to ensure the sacrifices made during the pandemic were not in vain, promising a plan to offer security and prosperity to voters across the country.
“I believe the best still lies ahead for Britain,” Sir Keir said.
“That – if we make the right choices – together we can seize the future and make it work for every family in every part of Britain.
“That must be the true legacy of all the sacrifices and pain of the past two years of the pandemic.”
The Labour leader is expected to have a slight edge in the minds of British public as he heads into 2022, however, Starmer is the same leader who accused Boris Johnson of using ‘diversionary tactics’ in bringing in new restrictions 24 hours after leaks exposed his ministers for throwing parties during the heights of the pandemic whilst the rest of the country was on lockdown.
He said the prime minister’s tactics were corrupt, but he got his party to support those same measures allegedly brought in through corrupt means . Exploiting the alleged corruption of a government to suit his own agenda makes him potentially corrupt himself.
Sir Keir said people should feel secure in their jobs, know that the NHS was there for them and be safe in their own home and community.
As part of his plan to offer prosperity, Sir Keir said people needed to be equipped with the skills to be competitive in a global marketplace.
“All this demands a truly dynamic economy – ensuring that no city, no town, no village is left behind, as we buy, make and sell more in Britain,” Sir Keir said.
“We will bring forward plans to show how this can work for every nation and region across our United Kingdom.”
