Keir Starmer 'has an eye on Tory territory'

Speaking at the Labour conference, Sir Keir Starmer turned his fire on the new Prime Minister and her Chancellor for a budget that "favours the wealthy, while the poorest struggle with the cost of living."

Our political editor Beth Rigby gives her analysis of the Labour leader's address.

We need a new party that isnt just the other side of the same coin

Over the years, Labour had two types of leaders: those who treat it as a social movement, and those who treat it as a political party. The only ones who got to actually improve people's lives were those who realized Labour is a political party, not a movement - i.e., that Labor can get stuff done if it wins the election, not if they march in demonstrations. Anyway, Starmer clearly realizes that Labour is a political party and not a social movement, and, more importantly, that if he wants to help people, he must get Labour to win the next election.

I’ve got an eye on the lottery but I won’t be winning that either

It is amazing to see the difference in coverage from the mainstream media once Labour aligns it self with the interests of the wealthy and powerful.

I’ll have sober and dull but with sound economic policy over the over the past performance tactics of Boris, cruella de ville Truss and Kant do job Kwateng. Their incompetence is absolutely staggering

[affy]

Im voting Labour this time, ive always voted conservative but they have just took the piss

[oweng]

Keir Starmer ‘Has an eye on breaking all his election promises’ as well. Copying the Tories isn’t the best idea.

Now, Labour, get some policies together - Lizz is handing the government over on a plate right now!

[Davyscales]

Rich members of the Labour party saying how bad the rich Torys have done without giving a solution to the so called problem.

[richieboy]

Party of the centre ground!
That statement will alienate half of the Labour Party!
Labour is still realistically two very different parties that don’t get on with each other!

[waynefoulkes]

build more council houses for people too live in and afford. that would be a massive vote winner people need affordable housing.

[standstand]

Too staged, too over the top, too much hyperbole 🥱

[beatpeace]

The party of business not the party of the working class

[mrmrgaming]

Well, I am holding out until Labour offer free Netflix for 12 any day now at this rate.

[WildShakz]

In my experience, never trust a politician.
No matter what party they represent.

[ToWeR]

How about the 5th of November party anyone?

I’m a swing voter and have voted for all the major parties and usually decide in the last days before Election Day. This is 1-2 years before an election and I am more sure than I have ever been that I’ll be voting Labour.

Thought the delegates would have a problem with the Union Jack.

Of course he "has an eye on tory territory" - this is why he has adopted Tory policies and wrapped them in a labour bow.
His policies and words are designed to appeal to the Tory voter base, but at their core they just as abstract in meaning as "leveling up" or "make brexit work" - the labour equivalent of get brexit done.
Even their mantra: "build a fairer, greener, and create a more dynamic Britain" whatever that means, while also saying: No compromises or deals with the SNP - the third largest party in WM and largest in Scotland - explain to me how ignoring that and the 47% voter base is "fairer and creating a more dynamic Britain"?
