In an olive branch to people who did not vote for him, and regional mayors who he said he'd be prepared to work with whatever their party, Sir Keir said his government would "turn his back on tribal politics". Asked by ITV News Political Editor Robert Peston what Labour plans to do if the government departments it has inherited are in worse shape than they imagined, Sir Keir said his government would have to "take tough decisions and take them early".as he vowed to start working on improving the health service immediately.
During the election campaign, Mr Sunak raised questions over whether Labour was "not being straight" with the public over the full extent of its tax plans, but Sir Keir told today's conference he had no new tax announcements to make that hadn't already been set out. "People who didn't vote for us need to know that we will serve them, that we will not turn our back on people just because we don't think they voted for us, we will govern for the whole country.
