Sir Keir Starmer has set out a plan to secure the highest sustained growth in the G7 as he called on voters to judge if they feel better off after five years of a Labour government
He told Sky News:"What I want to see is raise living standards across the country. So in many places, the discussion in the local pub or cafe will not be about the strategic plan for growth, but it will be about my living standards."
Brandishing his mission document, he added:"So - here in this document - the mission: secure the highest sustained growth in the G7. And without a"proper long-term plan for growth", he said wages and living standards cannot go up - something he wants. The Labour leader sought to distance himself from the Tories by saying his party would encourage a"genuine partnership" between the state and free markets"working for the national interest".
