Keir Starmer elected new UK Labour leader: party

0

The 57-year-old former chief state prosecutor defeated Corbyn loyalist Rebecca Long-Bailey and backbencher Lisa Nandy in a lengthy campaign sparked by Corbyn’s resignation after December’s loss at the polls to Boris Johnson’s Conservatives.

Angela Rayner becomes the new deputy leader, Labour announced on Twitter, after it was forced to cancel a special conference because of the coronavirus outbreak.

Starmer, who was Labour’s Brexit spokesman, called his election “the honour and privilege” of his life and vowed to “engage constructively” with Johnson’s Conservative government.

Johnson immediately offered his congratulations and the pair spoke, with Starmer accepting an invitation to a government briefing on COVID-19 next week.

“Keir offered to work constructively with the government on how best to respond to the coronavirus outbreak,” his spokesman said.

Starmer himself vowed to reunite Labour, after deep rifts between supporters of socialist Corbyn’s hard-left ideals and centrists, and wrangling over its Brexit strategy.

He immediately addressed the issue of anti-Semitism that Corbyn was accused of failing to tackle, which tarnished the party’s reputation and caused Jewish members to leave in droves.

“Anti-Semitism has been a stain on our party. I have seen the grief that it’s brought to so many Jewish communities,” Starmer said.

“On behalf of the Labour Party, I am sorry.

“And I will tear out this poison by its roots and judge success by the return of Jewish members and those who felt that they could no longer support us.”

Starmer, who won a resounding 56.2 percent of the vote of Labour members, acknowledged the party had “a mountain to climb”, after four straight general election defeats — two under Corbyn.

But he vowed: “We will climb it.”

He added: “I will lead this great party into a new era, with confidence and with hope.

“So that when the time comes, we can serve our country again in government.”

COVID-19 challenge

The coronavirus outbreak has brought a more immediate challenge.

Johnson’s government has imposed draconian curbs on public movement to try to stop the spread — measures backed by Labour, although it successfully pressed for more parliamentary scrutiny of new police powers.

The Conservatives have also promised eye-watering sums to keep businesses and individuals afloat, wading into traditional Labour territory.

In response, Johnson’s popularity ratings have shot up.

A YouGov survey last week found that 55 percent of the public had a favourable opinion of him, up from 43 percent a week earlier.

Some 72 percent thought the government was doing well — including a majority of Labour voters.

Ministers have been on the back foot in recent days, however, over the lack of testing for coronavirus and protective equipment for healthcare staff.

Labour has been pressing the issues and Starmer said this would continue.

“My instinct will be to be constructive but to ask the difficult questions,” he told a Guardian podcast this week.

The Bill by GUC.EeZee Conceptz Global offers new single by Gospel music minister GUC titled “The Bill” Produced by Israel Dammy. “You didn’t have a pen to sign the check for me… You paid in full with your blood,” GUC says

The timely message which commemorates the forthcoming Easter season, and sounds the message of salvation louder as the world faces the crisis caused by the global pandemic, adopts a narrative style in expressing Jesus’ finished work.

The song is spirit-stirring. It paints a vivid picture of the death and resurrection and the abundant life that was made available to the whole world as a result.

“Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us, for it is written: “Cursed is everyone who is hung on a pole.” He redeemed us in order that the blessing given to Abraham might come to the Gentiles through Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.” – Galatians 3: 13-15

“The Bill” by GUC is coming after the release of the very successful “Ike Nile.” GUC had kicked off the year with the release of “All That Matters.” The song released in January has hit 3 million views on Youtube as at 29th of March. It is unarguably one of the most popular Gospel music releases of 2020 yet.
