Gary Neville appears alongside Sir Keir Starmer in a Labour Party political broadcast

Gary Neville joined Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer for a political broadcast.

Gary Neville joined Sir Kier Starmer in a Labour Party political broadcast from the Peak District.

Speaking about issues including the upcoming general election, plans for the economy and more, Neville is known to be a supporter of Labour and speaks openly about his working-class roots.

Starmer faces competition from Rishi Sunak of the Conservatives as the United Kingdom prepare for their first election since 2019.

Neville, a popular football pundit since his retirement, often features on our TV screens week in, week out via Sky Sports.

But the former Manchester United defender had to recently admit he does not wish to go deeper into politics having used his profile in the past to speak out about political issues. 

“We should detest low pay, we should detest poor accommodation and poor working conditions," Neville admitted earlier this year. 

"That is something we can never, ever accept that in this region or in any region – and it is just worth mentioning we’ve got a current government in our country who are demonising rail workers, ambulance workers and – terrifyingly – nurses.

“We can’t have people being paid an absolute pittance to work, we can’t have people in accommodation which is unsavoury and disgusting. That shouldn’t happen here [Neville was speaking in Qatar] with the wealth that exists. But it shouldn’t happen in our country, that our nurses are having to fight for an extra pound or an extra two pounds either.”

In Labour's latest broadcast Neville and Starmer chatted in a much similar format to that seen on his popular series 'The Overlap', discussing issues including trust around politicians in recent years.

Pressed on how the Labour leader plans to change those views, Starmer gave a detailed response and said he welcomed conversation on the topic.

"Action, not words. I don't think that people are going to believe that politics has changed until they see change," he added.

"The first thing is returning politics to service. You are here to service the country."
