Election victory would see UK’s main opposition party take advantage of already-drafted bills it supports
Labour Party leader Keir Starmer campaigning in Scotland on Friday. Allies of Mr Starmer confirmed a Labour government would revive four key bills, including Rishi Sunak’s legislation intended to phase out smoking and a separate measure to end no-fault evictions.
The Labour leader backs the creation of an English football regulator, which is intended to improve financial resilience in the game, with reserve powers to redistribute cash from the Premier League to smaller clubs.Conservative MP defects to Labour in fresh blow to Sunak A spokesman for Mr Starmer said Labour would deliver on some of Mr Sunak’s legislation: “Where we agree and they complement our central missions we will look at how we will deliver on promises the chaotic Tories failed to.”
Mr Sunak even cited his tobacco and vapes bill, which would ban the selling of tobacco to anyone born after January 1st, 2009, as part of his political legacy when he announced the election.
