Sir Keir Starmer accused the Tories of thinking âworking people donât need cultureâ as he pledged a raft of measures aimed at boosting access to the arts, including a crackdown on ticket touting. However, the Labour leader warned the party would be unable to âturn on the taps straight awayâ if it wins power as he faced questions about whether the plans would be backed by new funding. In a speech at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama in central London, Sir Keir said the âwar on cultureâ would end with a Labour government.
