AceBreakingNews – Sir Keir Starmer is set to warn that “things will get worse” in the UK before they improve. In a speech on Tuesday, the prime minister is likely to say there are no quick fixes to remedy what he will call the “rubble and ruin” left by the Conservatives.
He will also continue to argue that the last government concealed the true state of the public finances. But, the Conservatives have accused Labour of “fabricating” a financial black hole to clear the way for tax rises – and have called for Starmer to reverse his chancellor’s cuts to winter fuel payments”. – BBC News
The prime minister’s speech next week is the lead for both the Sunday Telegraph and the Observer. Sir Keir Starmer is expected to say “things will get worse” before they get better, warning of unpopular decisions ahead.
According to the Observer, the PM is set to strike a “defiant note” – despite mounting pressure, including from within his own party, to help people struggling with rising fuel prices. The Sun on Sunday says Sir Keir’s admission will show “admirable honesty”. The Telegraph, meanwhile, says the speech will be an attempt to “lay the groundwork” for “sweeping tax rises” and spending cuts.
The Sunday Times reports that a top Labour donor has been given a pass to Downing Street – granting him what it describes as “unrestricted access” to Number 10. The paper says Lord Alli – who led the party’s fundraising for the general election and is Sir Keir’s biggest personal donor – has hosted a reception in the Downing Street garden. Passes are usually restricted to official political advisers and civil servants, and the immediate family of the prime minister and chancellor. No 10 declined to comment to the newspaper.
Labour donors row No. ten passes given to Labour donor
“Sir Keir Starmer’s biggest personal donor has a security pass to Downing Street. It gives Lord Alli, a millionaire TV mogul and former investment banker who led Labour’s fundraising for the general election, unrestricted access to No 10. He organised a post-election reception in the Downing Street garden with others who helped to bankroll its campaign. It is rare for anyone not formally employed as a political adviser or civil servant to be given a Downing Street pass, or to host events on the premises. The move has raised eyebrows among colleagues amid scrutiny of the party’s relationship with donors.” – Sunday Times
