Speaking at the New Statesman Politics Live event, the Labour leader said changing his views is key to political success.
“What we’ve done with the last manifesto [2019] is put it to one side. We’re starting from scratch. The slate is wiped clean,” he told the New Statesman’s Politics Live conference.
“What we do have to recognise is that having come through the pandemic, we need to look at everything in the round, and make choices about where we want to put our money,” Starmer said when asked whether he stood by his leadership pledge to scrap tuition fees.
But he suggested he was open to reform: “[The current arrangements] don’t really work for students, they don’t really work for the universities. So of course, we’re going to have to look at that.”
