Keir Starmer vows to 'tilt' Britain to the Left as he says election cannot come soon enough in New Year campaign launch speech - despite senior Labour figures warning huge poll lead hides 'brittle' position

Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party in the United Kingdom, has announced that his party will be launching a New Year campaign to call for an election. In his speech, he stated that he believes that Britain needs change and that he is committed to bringing about that change.

Despite some senior Labour figures warning that the party's huge poll lead hides a "brittle" position, Starmer remains optimistic about the party's chances in an election. He has been leading the Labour Party since April 2020 and has been seen as a more moderate leader compared to his predecessor, Jeremy Corbin.

In his speech, Starmer also announced that he plans to "tilt" Britain to the left by implementing policies such as nationalizing key industries, increasing taxes on the wealthy, and investing in public services. He believes that these policies will help to address the economic and social challenges facing the country.

It is worth noting that an election is not guaranteed this year, as Prime Minister Boris Johnson has indicated that he does not want to hold one until at least 2023. However, Starmer's announcement marks a significant step towards the possibility of an election in the near future.
