  • "Child poverty isn't even mentioned in the six pledges and a lot of people are wondering to themselves how much real social conscience a Labour government will have."
    00:00 Andrew Marr's initial reaction.
    03:00 Input from Gordon Brown and Chris Packham on poverty and sewage.
    05:08 LBC's Political Editor Natasha Clark's analysis.
    07:32 The view from inside Labour with Alison McGovern.
    Keir Starmer has unveiled six pledges to voters for changes he will make if he is elected as the Labour Prime Minister at the next general election.
    Speaking at an event in Essex on Thursday, the Labour leader promised to deliver economic security, cut NHS waiting times, create a new border security command, set up a nationalised energy company, crack down on anti social behaviour, and recruit 6,500 new teachers.
    They will be the first things the party will do if Labour wins the keys to power at the upcoming election.
    Starmer said in a speech that Labour wants to show voters that "decline is not inevitable" and that "politics can make a difference".
    He told Labour activists: "One card, six steps, in your hand - a plan to change the country. This is a message to take to every doorstep in the country."
    Asked by LBC's Natasha Clark if his six pledges were similar to Rishi Sunak's five pledges, he said they were "fundamentally different" and that he brought a "seriousness" to politics, in contrast with the Conservatives.
    He added: "I'm not prepared to do gimmicks - I'm only prepared to do the hard yards of serious change, with a serious plan for five or ten years of change in this country."

    Being of working class background does not make you more compatible with Labour's values. Starmer acts like the simple fact that his parents were from a working class background legitimates his position as a leader of the Labour party.
    This is not a valid argument to build his campaign on. The people need more than words and relatable facts to go on at this point. We need the Tories out , a strong NHS, affordable housing, no more privatisation of our water/gas/electricity and no more cost of living crisis.
    Once Starmer will get that, he will be legitimised as a leader.

      Fact is bud, manifestos change.
      Firstly, politicians are politicians. You cannot change anything without being elected. They water-down manifestos to make it more appealable to a wider array of audiences. We live in a democracy and, one 'downside' of that, we often need to water-down promises to win. Something is better than nothing.
      Secondly, circumstances change. Stuff happens and promises you once made, you now can't. Either because of economic, legal or practical complications.
      The majority of their manifesto probably won't be enacted. And yeah, majority of his leadership promises might not either. But, at least we'll get something. Which is better than 14 years of nothing.
