'Labour's policies have been obscured by rows'
The Gazette
|July 07, 2025
LABOUR policies are “barely being noticed” and have been “obscured” by rows over welfare and winter fuel, former leader Lord Neil Kinnock has said.
-
Lord Kinnock - who led the party from 1983 to 1992 - told Sky News that a “cloud hangs over the accomplishments of the Government”, as Sir Keir Starmer marked a year in office this weekend.
He said that the party have “a series of really commendable and absolutely essential policies” and also suggested a wealth tax as a change that could “commend” them to the general public.
The week of Sir Keir's first anniversary in Number 10 saw the Prime Minister scrap a raft of the Government's proposed welfare reforms in the face of a backbench revolt.
