Starmer confirms: ‘Treat the 2019 manifesto as gone’

The Labour leader said the next manifesto will be written "from scratch".

Sir Keir Starmer has confirmed Labour’s 2019 manifesto is “gone” in an LBC interview with Nick Ferrari this morning.

The policy document, which pledged to bring forward the UK’s net-zero target to the 2030s, scrap Universal Credit and nationalise several key industries, will be tossed on the scrapheap ahead of the next election.

Starmer confirmed that the party will write the next manifesto “from scratch” and says free bus travel for under-25s will be among the pledges that will be “reviewed”.

It marks the latest departure from the Corbyn administration when Starmer was appointed shadow Brexit secretary and promised a second referendum on a renegotiated deal.

He has since changed tack on that, admitting that Brexit has ‘damaged the economy’ – but ruling out rejoining EU.

Go figure!

Keir Starmer to @NickFerrariLBC: “Treat the 2019 manifesto as gone. We will write the next manifesto from scratch.”

Says free bus travel for under-25s is another pledge that “would have to be reviewed”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
