Labour under pressure to respond to cost of living crisis
Keir Starmer’s current holiday has provided ample ammunition for speculation around Labour’s lack of concern and response to the ongoing cost of living crisis in the UK.
Former PM Gordon Brown has intervened, pressuring energy companies to reduce their prices, and calling on the government to suspend energy price cap increases and prepare Universal Credit support for those eligible for benefits. Consequently, Starmer has been heavily criticised by right-leaning publications, and defended or downplayed by publications on the left.
