Sir Tony Blair has urged Labour to hold to the centre ground and avoid “taxing and spending” its way out of economic turmoil.
But in an interview with the Financial Times, Sir Tony said Sir Keir would have to contend with a far more challenging situation than the one he faced when he swept to power in 1997.He added: “If Sir Keir Starmer wins the election, which I think he’s got a good chance of doing, he’ll be the sixth prime minister in eight years.He said criticism of Sir Keir’s policy offering as too bland was “nonsense” and that Labour should not equate “being radical with just taxing and spending”.
“The radical agenda today is all about understanding, mastering, harnessing the technological revolution – everything else is secondary to that.”
