Starmer to say Iran war means Labour's values needed more than ever at local elections campaign launch  UK politics live
"Starmer will argue that the war in Iran means that Labour is needed more than ever. He will say: 'We're going to fight to earn every vote. Fight for our values. And fight for the country we are building together, a Britain built for all.'"
"'Those values that fairness we stand for - it's never been more important. That is the thing about the volatile world we live in now. It tests, not just our security, our strength on the world stage. It also tests our fairness at home. Our unity.'"
"Projections for gains/losses at local elections indicate terrible reading for Labour, with expectations of significant losses based on current polling and other factors."
Keir Starmer is chairing a meeting on the economic consequences of the Iran war, which threatens government efforts to improve living standards. He is launching Labour's local elections campaign in the West Midlands, despite low expectations for the party's performance. Projections indicate significant losses for Labour in the upcoming local elections. Starmer will emphasize the importance of Labour's values in the current global context, asserting the need for unity and fairness at home while criticizing Reform UK and the Conservatives.
