Keir Starmer and the Labour party have outlined six key pledges in preparation for the upcoming general election, focusing on economic stability and Great British Energy. Recent polls show Labour leading with 47%, while the Conservatives trail at 20%. Public trust in Labour to deliver on their pledges varies, with only 5% having a great deal of trust. Starmer's campaign strategy emphasizes his individual leadership, echoing Tony Blair's success compared to Rishi Sunak's approach. The political landscape is marked by contrasting messaging between the two parties as they gear up for the election.
