Today, we look at Keir Starmer revealing the \u201cfirst steps\u201d Labour would take if they won the general election. \n \nSpeaking at an event in Essex, the Labour leader unveiled a pledge card with six key policies, including delivering "economic stability" and providing 40,000 more hospital appointments each week.\n \nStarmer rejected claims the party had scaled back its ambitions, and that it was a \u201ccopycat\u201d of Tony Blair who launched his pledge card and went on to win the general election for Labour in 1997.

Adam, Chris and Alex are joined by Steve Reed, the Shadow Environment Secretary.
