Sir Keir Starmer says the former Prime Minister Boris Johnson "inflicted" a "botched deal" on the UK and stated that he will negotiate a better deal with the EU if elected into power. The Labour leader spoke to LBC's Andrew Marr on Thursday and was probed about the impact of the "unwanted spectre" Brexit on the British economy.Sir Keir responded saying: "I think we could do better".
"If you look at planning - look at every single infrastructure project, whether that roads, rail, any infrastructure, they take years, they're delayed, they're overbudget - we have to change our planning regulations...not all roads lead to a relationship with the EU". Marr also probed Sir Keir on the behaviour of ministers while in goverment, following the revelation that Tory candidate Craig Williams placed a bet on the election.
