Sir Keir faced a grilling on his domestic agenda at a press conference at the G20 in Brazil on the 1,000th day of the Ukraine war.
Sir Keir Starmer has said he is 'absolutely' still confident in Chancellor Rachel Reeves after her financial plans sparked rows with pensioners, farmers and employers. The prime minister said his government needed to 'stabilise the economy' when it came into power and has already 'attracted investment that wasn't coming in' during the Tories' 14 years in Downing Street.
The prime minister would not be drawn into saying whether he would follow the advice of a senior Labour figure, Lord Mandelson, and take steps to end a feud with US businessman Elon Musk - a key figure in Donald Trump's incoming government. Farmer facts 'speak for themselves' However, he could not escape questions on domestic affairs as he deals with a triple whammy of problems at home.
