EXCLUSIVE: The Labour leader said he would expect Sarwar to make his views known to him on the subject.
Keir Starmer has said he will “listen” to Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar on scrapping the two child benefit cap.
Asked what his response would be to Sarwar’s pleas, Starmer told the Record: "To listen to what he has to say, as I always do, and to listen to what I hope will be Labour MPs....I don’t have a magic wand. I can’t pretend the economy isn’t damaged in the way that it was under this Government. I’m not going to make commitments that aren’t costed or funded.
