Starmer says Labour would reverse PM’s plan for anti-strike law

Minimum service level' legislation covering sectors including health expected to be announced this week

Keir Starmer has said an incoming Labour government would repeal Rishi Sunak's anti-strike legislation, setting out clear dividing lines with the Conservatives on workers' rights before the next general election.

In a major speech to kick off the new year, the party leader suggested that the prime minister's plans, expected to be brought forward later on Thursday, would fail to end ongoing strikes.
