Labour likely to win by a landslide at the next election, says Shaun Woodward

He told GB News: “I think this is looking like 1997. Something here is happening…people are giving up on the Conservative Party.

“What's happened now is that the cost of living crisis…the problems that people are seeing in the NHS with 7.5 million people waiting for treatment, people if they have a cardiac arrest are probably quite unlikely in some parts of the country to have an ambulance in time before they die.

“These things are contributing to a sense that the Government doesn't have answers…I think what we're probably going to see is a victory for Keir Starmer that is very big, but it will also be because the country has given up on 13 years of a Conservative Party which they think is economically bankrupt.”

Speaking to Tom Harwood, he continued: “The information that the Labour Party is giving people is that it's going to take a long time to fix these problems.

"There are no sudden large amounts of money to do it.

“We need to change some of our goals.

"We need, for example, to move the NHS from something that's constantly trying to fix people to trying to prevent them becoming ill in the first place, so doing cancer scans on people at an early stage rather than waiting for them to have stage four metastatic cancer.”

On the Middle East crisis, he said: “I always travel with hope, I mean, I think if we travelled only in despair than we have a danger of fulfilling the worst of our imaginations.

“Ultimately, the fact that the rest of the world wants to engage in the problems of the Middle East is the best sign of hope because they don't have a solution that works there right now, because the situation both in Israel and in Gaza is so catastrophic.”

Labour's by-election victories earlier this week come after Starmer celebrated other triumphs in Wakefield and Selby & Ainsty.

Opinion polls hand Labour enormous leads of around 20 points over the Tory Party, giving Southside renewed confidence ahead of the next general election.

Immigration Minister Robert Jenrick also joined Harwood on GB News.
