In a speech on Saturday, the Labour leader drew comparisons with Sir Tony Blair's controversial 1995 decision to abandon the party's founding commitment to nationalisation in favour of his New Labour agenda.
Sir Keir Starmer is promising his planned reforms of the Labour Party will be like New Labour's famous Clause IV"on steroids".
Sir Keir told the Progressive Britain conference:"The Labour Party will only restore hope in the country if we once again become the natural vehicle for working people, an agent for their hopes and aspirations, a party of the common good. "Some people think that all we're doing is distancing ourselves from the previous regime - that totally misses the point.
"This is about taking our party back to where we belong and where we should always have been... back doing what we were created to do. "That's why I say this project goes further and deeper than New Labour's rewriting of Clause IV... this is about rolling our sleeves up, changing our entire culture - our DNA. This is Clause IV - on steroids."
