Sir Keir Starmer has said Labour must not become “giddy” at the prospect of power as he warned against complacency on the eve of what could be the last party conference before a general election.
This means showing Britain the party is “businesslike” and “ready, with a plan that will work” to revive a sluggish economy and deliver its key pledges, he told the paper.It comes as MPs, delegates and lobbyists gather this weekend for policy debate, rallies and networking at what could be Labour’s last conference before the election.
The party would seek to prevent firms from dodging their affordable housing obligations, known as section 106 rules, by introducing an expert unit to give councils and housing associations advice on negotiating with companies. Meanwhile, shadow health secretary Wes Streeting has pledged to double the number of CT and MRI scanners in hospitals as part of a bid to cut NHS waiting times.
The British Medical Association welcomed the proposals, but urged Labour to also set out a plan for improving conditions for doctors to address the “key limiting factor” of staff shortages. Sir Keir has said Labour cannot commit to reversing the decision if it wins the next general election due to the “damage” done by the Government.
