With Rishi Sunak managing to avoid a total 3-0 defeat in Thursday's by-elections, Sky News commentator adamboultonTABB says it still remains to be seen if voters will help Sir Keir Starmer into Downing Street next year
Sir Keir Starmer headed to Selby and Ainsty to say"well done Keir" to his namesake, 25-year-old Keir Mather, the Labour victor who is now the youngest MP.
Rather than campaign on his record, Rishi Sunak is targeting the notional next Labour government which he says would be worse.This means totting up spending ideas which Labour has long abandoned, such as the £28bn Green New Deal and pointing to problems in public services"where Labour is in power" such as in Wales and London, without pointing out that his government still ultimately holds their purse strings.
The Tories' narrow scrape in Ruislip, surviving by just 495 votes, is unlikely to change the prime minister's mind. He may be more attracted to the siren call of Boris Johnson loyalist Sir Jacob Rees-Mogg that"high cost green policies are not popular".'ULEZ is why we lost in Uxbridge' That will cheer Starmer, who is likely to react by strengthening his grip on the party discipline and steer policy towards the centre. Anxious to refute attempts by Sunak and his ministers to link Labour to the Just Stop Oil campaign, Starmer has already said that Labour, including London Mayor Sadiq Khan, need"to reflect" on the merits of ULEZ.
