Labour says UK risks falling behind Poland in economic growth
"We've got to find the courage to take on vested interests," Sir Keir is scheduled to say later.
It also plans to look at living standards via the measure of disposable income for the median UK household, with the ambition to make progress towards eliminating the gap between the median British family and those in France and Germany by the end of the parliament. Labour explicitly says a "bad Brexit deal" is exacerbating the nation's economic challenges, calling for a "reset" to relations with Europe.
It follows Starmer's claim last week that international investors told him they didn't want to invest in the UK, because of political chaos. Paul Drechsler, former president of the business organisation the CBI, said Labour's strategy reflected the views of many of the country's business leaders, and he welcomed its commitment to "greater certainty and stability".
He has also previously promised sweeping constitutional reform, which he said would unleash potential in the nations and regions of the UK, and has said he would "make Brexit work".
