Starmer accuses Govt of 'spinning' the autumn statement
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer accuses the Government of trying to "spin" the budget delivered yesterday by chancellor Jeremy Hunt.
Mr Starmer says "whichever way the Government tried to spin the autumn statement, the reality is that living standards are dropping, the tax burden is going up and that disposable income at the end of this government is going to be less than it was at the beginning for ordinary working people." The opposition leader also adds that his party would face "tough choices" if it wins the next general election, due to "13 years of failure".

Sir Keir Starmer has unveiled a pledge card with six "first steps" the Labour Party would take if it were to form a government after the next general election. The steps include measures to invest in the NHS, education and policing, to set up a new national energy company and an elite border force, and to promote economic stability. The move, unveiled during a campaign speech in Essex, is reminiscent of Tony Blairâs five pledges ahead of Labourâs landslide victory in 1997, and less favourably of Ed Milibandâs promises carved into stone in 2015.
