Starmer Warns of Truss 2.0: Reform Party's Unfunded Billions

Keir Starmer Sounds Alarm Over Reform Party's Billions in Unfunded Promises LONDON, May 29, 2025 – Labour leader Keir Starmer has issued a stark warning about the Reform Party's financial plans, claiming their promises are unfunded and could lead to another economic crisis. Speaking in a recent video, Starmer drew direct comparisons to the economic instability seen during Liz Truss's time as Prime Minister. "We know for a fact what happens when politicians say they're going to spend billions and billions of pounds and it's unfunded," Starmer stated. "We tried that experiment with Liz Truss, and it wasn't Liz Truss who paid the price, it was millions of working people." Starmer's comments highlight concerns about the Reform Party's economic policies and the potential consequences of unfunded spending commitments. His comparison to the Truss era serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing the potential for widespread economic hardship if such promises are not backed by realistic financial planning. The Reform Party has yet to respond to these accusations.
