Starmer accused of insulting workers by warning of tough times ahead
Prime Minister Keir Starmer speaks during a press conference after his first Cabinet meeting at 10 Downing Street, London, July 6, 2024

SIR KEIR STARMER was accused today of insulting British workers as it emerged he will ask struggling families to endure even worse economic and social ­pressures in the months to come.

In his first major address since entering No 10, the Prime Minister is expected to signal he will ignore mounting pressure from his own party to tackle fuel and child poverty.

Downing Street has billed the speech tomorrow as “a direct message to the working people across Britain.”
