Here are the top 10 things everyone should know about Labour after their 2020 Conference
- Sir Keir Starmer has been unable to name a single policy difference between him and Jeremy Corbyn.
- Kate Green, the Shadow Education Secretary, has shown Labour want to play politics with people’s lives calling the coronavirus pandemic a 'good crisis' the party can exploit.
- A former Labour minister has conceded her party is ‘out of touch’ with the British public.
- Labour’s top team have been told ‘your job is not to generate policy, it’s to get out there and attack the Tories’ - showing they are still focused on the sort of political point scoring that people decided to move on from at last year’s election.
- New analysis showed that 96 per cent of Labour’s funding comes from trade unions – whose leaders have demanded that they don’t abandon Corbyn’s far-left policies.
- Shadow Business Minister, Seema Malhotra, argued that handouts for everyone should be an ‘important part’ of Labour’s economic plan – following the thinking of Jeremy Corbyn.
- The Labour leader refused to give answers on important issues like whether he would back a trade deal with the EU, whether Labour would back or block a second Scottish independence referendum or if he would use the nuclear deterrent if needed to keep our country safe.
- Labour’s Deputy Leader has been none-too-subtle in suggesting that Sir Keir should ‘get out of the way’ in favour of an alternative leader.
- It has been revealed that Sir Keir has previously suggested it was racist to argue for any control on immigration, saying ‘it is not a question of numbers, it’s a question of racism’.
- And on coronavirus, the most pressing issue facing our country today, he explicitly refused to set out any alternative plan – so that he can continue to play the same old politics and just criticise and blame.
