Sir Keir Starmer will aim for at least two terms in power as he vows to 'heal' Britain after 13 years of Tory rule left 'ruining' The country.

This comes after the first one. The governor of the Bank of England (BoE) said on Monday he was backing Keir Starmer and Rachel Reeves in a major coup for the opposition.

In a surprise video released during the party conference after the shadow chancellor's speech, Mr Carney praised her as a "serious economist" capable of overseeing the nation's finances.

There were gasps in the auditorium as a video showed Mr Carney's support. He described Ms Reeves as “a serious economist” who “understands the big picture” – noting that she began her career at the BoE.

The senior official, governor between 2013 and 2020, added: “It is crucial that she understands the economics of work, place and family. It is high time that we put his energy and ideas into action. »
