Labour MPs call on Starmer to focus on radical ideas to lower cost of living

Warnings from group of 104 MPs come amid fears party could lose next election if voters do not feel better off

The government must refocus on more radical ideas to help people with everyday costs such as food, energy, childcare and housing, more than 100 Labour MPs have said in a letter to Keir Starmer.

They made the warning amid fears Labour could lose the next election and will bleed voters to both Reform and parties on the left unless there is a much faster pace of change that puts money directly back in people's pockets.
