The Tory leadership contenders have not produced any “credible proposals” to tackle the energy crisis, Sir Keir Starmer has said.
Asked by reporters for his opinion on proposals from Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak to tackle the rising cost of living, the Labour leader said: “We haven’t seen any credible proposals from the candidates involved in the leadership race.”
Sir Keir claimed they had instead “engaged in an internal battle”, adding: “Their main argument seems to be that their record in Government has been so awful that you ought to vote for one or other of them. It’s very unusual for a Government to be trashing its own record whilst it is still in Government.”
