The Labour leader yesterday refused to stand by his pledge to abolish tuition fees, in the latest of a string of U-turns.
Despite making the promise when he ran to be leader in 2020, Sir Keir Starmer sidestepped questions on whether it still stood.
He told the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg: ‘I think the tuition fees system needs to be changed, I don’t think it’s working.
‘But looking at the damage that’s been done to the economy... we will only make commitments that we can afford at the next general election so we need to look at that promise again.’
