Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer
Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer gives keynote speech at the Scottish Labour Conference in Glasgow.
Sir Keir Starmer will insist that Labour can deliver “security for decades” by taking the difficult decisions necessary in a “new age of insecurity”.
The UK Labour leader will use a speech to his party’s Scottish conference in Glasgow on Sunday to set out his credentials to be the UK’s next prime minister.
A general election is almost certain to take place later this year, with all polls pointing to the Tories being out of Downing Street after 14 years in power.
With his party meanwhile narrowing the gap on the SNP north of the border, Sir Keir will tell voters there that the “power to build a new Scotland, is in your hands”.
But he will also use his speech to highlight the “enormous upheaval” Scotland has experienced since 1979 – the year Margaret Thatcher became prime minister.
Speaking about the “scars of the Scotland born of 1979 onward”, he will tell how the “prosperity” that the discovery of oil and gas in the North Sea could have brought had been “squandered”.
Meanwhile he will tell how the move away from traditional heavy industries, such as coal mining and steel in both Scotland and the UK had been “chaotic, unstable, and needlessly cruel”.
Sir Keir will say that the country is again living in a “time of upheaval”, noting that “revolutions in energy, science, technology that are changing our children’s future beyond recognition”.
Meanwhile, he will say there are “new threats to democracy” as a result of the overturning of “the established relationships of power all around the world”.
Describing this as a “new age of insecurity”, the UK Labour leader will add: “Make no mistake, in this era, the difficult decisions will come thick and fast and the consequences will stay with us for decades.”
But he will state: “My Labour Party is ready to make those difficult decisions. My Labour Party is ready to deliver security for decades.”
He will make a direct appeal to Scottish voters to back his party when the general election comes, telling people that his party needs the “chance to serve” if they want to see “that difference for Scotland”.
Sir Keir will say to people: “The power of the vote, and the power to build a new Scotland, is in your hands.”
