Keir Starmer will present Labour to voters today as the party of “sound money” in contrast to Tory tax slashing policies which have sent the pound into a free fall on international markets.
With sterling taking a pummelling on the financial markets and sparking fears of higher interest rates, Starmer will seize the moment to tell the country that Labour is now more capable of steering the economy through the cost of living crisis.
In a make-or-break Labour conference speech in Liverpool, Starmer will position Labour as a government in waiting with a plan to grow the economy and properly manage the nation’s finances.
