EXCLUSIVE: 'Keir Starmer knows he's FINISHED' - James Cleverly TRASHES Labour in Express interview

Labour cannot win the next election and Rachel Reeves torched its credibility when she broke a manifesto pledge by hiking taxes on working people, according to Sir James Cleverly. The former Home and Foreign Secretary speaks to the Sunday Express in the shadow cabinet room in the Palace of Westminster – but he now has real hope that the men and women who sit around its table can escape Opposition and oust Labour. “They have lost the next general election,” he says. “That is baked in. There is no way they're coming back from this.” Labour promised ahead of last year’s election it would “not increase taxes on working people”. But on Wednesday the Chancellor announced income tax thresholds will be frozen for a further three years, until 2030-31. This means more workers will pay a higher rate of tax and more pensioners will have to pay income tax. “It is, in every definition, a direct breach of their manifesto commitments,” Sir James insists. “And the British people are not daft and they will feel this and they will feel it worse by the time of the general election.” He says he would be “amazed” if Sir Keir Starmer is still Labour leader when the election comes around.
