Sir Keir, who has been confirmed as Jeremy Corbyn's successor, has accepted an offer from the PM to attend a COVID-19 briefing.

"I want to see the government succeed in this: to save lives and protect livelihoods. This is a national effort and all of us should be asking what more we can do."

Sir Keir said Labour would"do our bit to offer solutions" but would also"speak for those who have been ignored", and expose mistakes, adding:"And let's be honest, serious mistakes have been made. "The public is placing an enormous trust in the government at the moment: it is vital that that trust is met with openness and transparency about those mistakes and the decisions that have been made."Sir Keir also said the UK should build vaccination centres in towns and cities so"the minute a vaccine becomes available, we can begin to protect the entire population".

"We should know what that exit strategy is, when the restrictions might be lifted and what the plan is for economic recovery to protect those who have been hardest hit," he added. "There will be many more difficult days ahead. Great sacrifices must be made because of a crisis that was unimaginable only a few months ago. But Britain is a great country and we will get through this."
