Writing in the Guardian, Ben Nunn says party’s support for Nato now clear after ambiguity of Corbyn years
Keir Starmer has been forced to restore Labour’s credentials as a pro-national security and patriotic party, his former director of communications has said, amid criticism that Jeremy Corbyn was too soft on Russia in the aftermath of the Salisbury poisoning.
Ben Nunn, who advised Starmer for four years, said the Labour leader had brought “clarity where previously there had been ambiguity” about support for Nato, allowing the party to appear “once again a government-in-waiting” in its response to the invasion of Ukraine.
