... does anyone know what he wants?

NEARLY half of voters still don’t know what Sir Keir Starmer stands for, a survey shows.

Despite the polls giving Labour a commanding 12-point lead over the Conservatives in the polls, just 46 per cent of the electorate were aware of the party leader’s political values. The Savanta ComRes poll found that just a third of the public were clear on Sir Keir’s policies.

Another bombshell survey by the same pollsters had put Labour in line for a comfortable 56-seat majority at the next election – with 353 seats to the Conservatives’ 211 as ‘Red Wall’ seats won by the Tories in 2019 reverted. It found that 35 per cent expect to see Sir Keir in Downing Street at the next election, while 47 per cent regard it as unlikely.

The findings left Labour frontbenchers talking bullishly about their chances.

National Campaign Co-ordinator Shabana Mahmood told the conference: ‘Britain needs a majority Labour government.

‘After our defeat in 2019 that looked impossible. But it is possible. We have done it before and we can do it again.’
