Labour Is ‘trying to out-Reform Reform’

LABOUR is “pleasing no one” by trying to “out-Reform Reform’, deputy leadership hopeful Lucy Powell has warned.

- 

The former Commons leader is urging Sir Keir Starmer’s government to use its position in power to “set the terms of the debate” because the party needs a “course correction” to prevent losing votes left and right.

Freed from Cabinet collective responsibility, Ms Powell has pitched herself as an outside candidate who will be able to “speak truth to power” but insists she is “not here to make life harder” for the Prime Minister.
