The Labour leader tells i there has been no contact with Donald Trump, but he is close to US president Joe Biden
has been as lucky as it comes – seeing Labour soar in the polls as the Conservatives tore themselves apart, even while voters admit they do not know what his party really stands for.on Thursday to campaign for his candidate in the upcoming Blackpool South by-election, with vicious storms that had put the promenade underwater earlier this week replaced by blue skies and sunshine.
But Labour’s solution does not appear to include the resurrection of the High Speed 2 rail line, which was scaled back by the Prime Minister last year.

So what does Sir Keir think about the prospect of dealing with President Trump, given the intimate ties that have developed between the Labour leadership and Joe Biden’s inner circle? “We do have close links with the Biden administration and that is very important to us, particularly in terms of our history, our traditions and our values as a Labour party,” he said. “But ultimately, later this year it falls to the American people to decide who they want as their President.
And on Gaza he sought to shore up his left flank, saying he supports a “ceasefire straight away” and adding: “I understand the strength of feeling, I have strong feelings myself.” While the internal row does not seem to have dented Labour’s poll position, it has highlighted the troubles he may have keeping a lid on discontent if he makes it to Downing Street.
