SIR KEIR STARMER’S speech on the last day of Labour’s online conference today was criticised for lacking substance and policies and for attacking his predecessor Jeremy Corbyn.

The keynote speech was described by the mainstream press as an attempt to make a “clean break” with Mr Corbyn’s five years as leader.

In a direct attack on the party’s previous leadership, Mr Starmer said: “Never again will Labour go into an election not being trusted on national security, with your job, with your community and with your money.”
