The Prime Minister insisted his feedback had been “absolutely legitimate” as a result of he was mentioning Sir Keir Starmer’s U-turns.

He informed reporters in Cornwall: “If you look at what I said, I was very clear, talking about Keir Starmer’s proven track record of U-turns on major policies because he doesn’t have a plan.

“A point only proven by today’s reports that the Labour Party and Keir Starmer are apparently planning to reverse on their signature economic green spending policy.”
