been delivered upon, but it was a message, he said in the end in the question and answer session, he talked about it being a heineken moment, the sort of catchy phrase that had got into the public consciousness and tapped into something, and that thing he identified as the desire to have a greater sense of control in your local community, your local concerns addressed, something he could promise to people in a specific bill, and that is very clearly aimed at those voters who voted for brexit, who then, i think the labour party so deserted them, the labour party so deserted them, the labour party lost that election, of course, that subsequent election, and now keir starmer wants to hold on to those voters. i think that is what he is promising there. at the same time, also that message that we were told about, talking about labour not getting out the big government
obviously, we will set out our case as we go into the election, and we have already set out our fiscal rules in terms of spending for day to day, only borrowing to invest, and getting debt down as a percentage of our economy. they will be the rules, but what i m trying to set out today is a different approach, making absolutely clear that it approach, making absolutely clear thatitis approach, making absolutely clear that it is a different way of working, it is about partnership, pushing partnership away from westminster. after 13 years of failure on every level, we know we are going to inherit a very badly damaged economy, and therefore that is what drives me to say that we will not be getting out the big government cheque book. everything that we say we will be do will be fully costed and set out, and we will do that going into the election. thank you, chris. mi
overall shape, we re probably seeing more of an overallshape, rather we re probably seeing more of an overall shape, rather than a specific set of policies, because we expect we are still at least 18 months from a general election. fin months from a general election. on that, in terms of the timing, he is already signalling that he will be publishing more details in the labour manifesto. is he out of the gate a bit early? gate a bit early? well, i think there is a gate a bit early? well, i think there is a certain gate a bit early? well, i think there is a certain timeline - gate a bit early? well, i think there is a certain timeline to | gate a bit early? well, i think- there is a certain timeline to what we will go through over the next 18 months. and it s not unfamiliarfor political parties to steal or borrow ideas from each other and include them in their manifesto. so there is a certain amount you have to hold back, whilst still showing you do have the ideas in your back poc
cheque book two, he says, address problems. he sees a need for investment in public services, which he believes are in crisis, rundown, but the answer is not big spending, so they are seeking to shape the labour message is distinct from his predecessor, jeremy corbyn, very squarely aimed at the sort of phe is now building towards the next election. ., , ., , ., election. and the other phrase that robabl election. and the other phrase that probablyjumped election. and the other phrase that probablyjumped out election. and the other phrase that probablyjumped out of election. and the other phrase that probably jumped out of that - election. and the other phrase that| probablyjumped out of that speech probably jumped out of that speech was a sticking plaster politics, so an attempt, i think, to contrast the labour approach, you know, to what he says is the government s approach. what did you make of that? yes, he certainly, in that, is drawing attention to the strikes we are seein
economic stability and sensible stewardship over the economy. the second point was a bit more current, trying to neutralise the government s defences for what he called sticking plaster solutions. the issues we are seeing springing up the issues we are seeing springing up at the moment and he was trying to suggest that the government couldn t blame all of the problems with things like energy security on of the war in ukraine, suggesting that many pregnant minsters had made active decisions about things like home insulation and onshore wind that had made the situation worse prime minister. then the third point was the narrative and the vision he is going to set for labour in the run up to the next election, the key part of that i think was this message about a new take back control bill, which is meant to enshrine devolution in a host of areas that we hadn t previously seen before that labour is billing as the greatest transfer of powers. so quite a lot to digestjust that but we re p
