Prime Minister Keir Starmer rejected Tony Blair's criticism of his government's policy direction, arguing his administration inherited a different situation in 2024 than Blair faced in 1997 and that its policy choices have been vindicated. Andy Burnham, also criticized by Blair, countered that the former PM's analysis ignored the impact of falling living standards and defended stronger government intervention in the economy.
