Keir Starmer taking the fight to Boris Johnson today is welcome, but after months of the leadership not commenting on policies, Keir Starmer’s speech was a missed opportunity to show substance. 1/6

If Starmer wants to appeal to working class voters, his pitch should be based on solidarity with the working class and defending their interests, not empty slogans and platitudes. 2/6

74% of people want test and trace taken away from private firms yet Starmer was silent on the catastrophic failure caused by the outsourcing of test and trace, including to companies with links to the Conservative Party, or of Labour's opposition to privatisation. 3/6

Starmer also made no mention of a Green New Deal, Black Lives Matter, and the Tories’ lifting of the eviction ban yesterday, unleashing a tsunami of evictions across our communities. 4/6

Even as Starmer pledged to win back trust, his Shadow Foreign Secretary suggested on Politics Live that he is rowing back on key promises from his leadership campaign to tax the super rich and corporations and to bring key services into public ownership. 5/6

Breaking your promises to your electorate is no way to win back trust. If Starmer wants to win this country’s confidence, he must show he’s a man of his word, not a careerist politician who’ll say what is needed to win power and then abandon his promises once he gets there. 6/6
