Sir Keir Starmer said the Labour Party has changed, after the party won a council in a Jewish-populated area in north London.

Outlining the importance for the party to gain Barnet after the antisemitism rows during Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership,

Sir Keir told Labour supporters in Barnet: “My first words as leader of our party, when I took over in April 2020, was that we were going to root out antisemitism from our party, not tolerate it any more in our party, change our party.

“I said the test of that will be whether voters trust us again in places like Barnet, and they’ve done it.

“That is your hard work, that is the change we’ve collectively brought about in our Labour Party, the trust that we’re building, putting us on the road to Number 10, on the road to that general election.

“That change these last two years has been really hard for us as a party, but we’ve done it, we’ve built those solid foundations, we’ve won here in Barnet, we’ve won across London, we’re winning from coast to coast.”
