Starmer channels Blair & Miliband to launch election pledges
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 Blair’s five pledges ahead of Labour’s landslide victory in 1997, and less favourably of Ed Miliband’s promises carved into stone in 2015.

Recent Survey predicts a grim outcome for the Conservative Party under Rishi Sunak, with Labour projected to secure 403 seats. This contrasts starkly with the Tories' anticipated decline to just 155 seats. The analysis suggests Keir Starmer's Labour could replicate Tony Blair's 1997 success, while Sunak faces a bleaker fate than John Major in 1997.
