The comments made by Stella Creasy, the Labour MP for Walthamstow, on 22 June 2026.
For some time now Labour has left too many questions unanswered. The “who?” replacing the necessary debate and work to address the “what?”. That isn’t just about policy making, but our culture and our campaigns too.
That is down to us all. As he stands down as PM wish Keir Starmer the very best for his future, as he tried to govern without those questions being answered – and urge the whole Labour movement to recognise if we don’t grip the question of purpose history will always be against us.
The British public need to see how and why we offer a better future against those who only offer hate and half baked promises – now is the time for us to show not just who we are but why that matters and how it makes a difference.
