LONDON - British opposition leader Keir Starmer will appeal on Tuesday to former supporters of his Labour Party to return to the fold with the message that it is now under “new leadership” and shares their patriotic values.
Starmer, elected Labour leader in April, wants to win back so-called ‘Red Wall’ seats in northern and central England taken by the Conservatives, but also faces a tough struggle to convince voters in Scotland to return to the party. “I ask you: take another look at Labour. We’re under new leadership. We love this country as you do,” the 58-year-old former chief prosecutor will say, according to excerpts from his speech.
With an election still nearly four years away, Starmer is trying to navigate Labour’s way in winning back former supporters while holding the Conservative government to account without being seen as unnecessarily critical at a time when the country is struggling with the coronavirus pandemic.
