“I’m backing Keir Starmer for Labour leader because I believe he has what it takes to unite, rebuild and re-energise our movement.

He has the skills, professionalism and excellent track-record that will put us in good stead to earn back people’s trust across our country. We desperately need a Labour government to protect our public services, fight poverty, inequality, injustice and build a genuinely inclusive economy and society.

With Keir as leader, I believe we have a fighting chance to chart our way back to power.”
