The Labour leader blasted the 'false sense of division' between him and the Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar over plans to tackle child poverty.
Sir Keir also said there is"nothing to say an incoming Labour government can't make sure that the policies we've got can operate more fairly", in reference to scrapping the associated rape clause, which requires women to disclose their child was conceived as a result of rape to get around the benefit cap.
The Labour leader also hit out at the"false sense of division" between himself and Mr Sarwar, who added that there is a"really strong ongoing dialogue" between the two sides of the party. He said it is"just ridiculous" to say there is no difference between Labour and the Tories, citing his"ambitious" goal of achieving the highest sustained growth in the G7, and"smashing the class ceiling" across the UK.
