Sir Peter Bottomley, the Father of the House of Commons, has accused Keir Starmer of having a “short memory”.
“It’s only nine months ago when some of his senior colleagues were searching to see whether there could be a better leader of the opposition than him.”
He added: “When circumstances change, it is right for policy to change.
“And if what’s announced today leads to lesser inflation and the cost of borrowing and a greater chance this country can get back to prosperity, it’s worth doing well.”
Penny Mordaunt responded by saying she agreed with Sir Peter.
“The right honourable gentleman opposite [Sir Keir] has reversed his position on economic justice, social justice, climate change, promoting peace and human rights, common ownership, defending migrants rights, strengthening the rights of workers and trading, radical devolution of power, wealth and opportunity, equality and effective opposition to the Tories.”
