Leader of the UK oppistion Labour Party, Sir Kier Starmer, has delivered a televised response to today's annoucement from Prime Ministrer Rishi Sunak that a general election will take place on July 4.
- Starmer says calling a general election is "a moment the counry needs and has been waiting for." Starmer adds: "No matter what else is said and done the opportunity for change is what this election is about."
- Starmer says: "Over the course of the last four years we've changed the Labour Party. Returned it once more to the service of working people."
- Starmer: "All we ask now, humbly, is do the same for the country and return Britain to the service of working people."
- Starmer says a Labour government will "stop the chaos," and notes that "sewage in rivers," "people waiting on trollies in A&E," "crime virtually unpunished," and "mortgages and foods prices through the roof," are all a "direct result" of "Tory chaos in Westminster."
