Sir Keir Starmer defended the government's recruitment approach, stating it was aimed at bringing the 'best people' into government swiftly after returning to power.
Amid accusations of cronyism, he highlighted that appointments to fast-track positions were justified due to the need for specialized skills or short-term roles.
Starmer remarked on the Tory government's past failures, insisting he wouldn't accept criticism from them, saying they had 'dragged our country so far down'.
Addressing concerns over appointments, Starmer noted that Lord Waheed Alli was a long-term donor and emphasized that his Downing Street access was for transition purposes.
