Labour leader’s comments come as he sets out party’s plans to improve education and opportunity
A Labour government would focus on ending poverty just as strongly as Tony Blair’s 1997 administration, Keir Starmer has said, as he set out the last of five self-declared missions, based around education and opportunity.
Pledging to break the “class ceiling” on mobility by measures including a school curriculum revamped to reprioritise creative skills and speaking ability, Starmer also warned that a Labour government would be “constrained” by economic realities.
