Starmer has been described as ‘soft left’.[44][45][46] He supports common ownership and investment in the UK’s public services, including the NHS, as well as the abolition of university tuition fees.[47][48][49] He has called for an increase in income tax for the top 5% of earners and an end to tax avoidance by corporations.[47] He also advocates the reversal of the Conservative Party’s cuts in corporation tax and supported Labour’s anti-austerity proposals under Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership.[47][48] On social inequality, Starmer proposes “national wellbeing indicators” to measure the country’s performance on health, inequality, homelessness, and the environment.[50] He has also called for an “overhaul” of the UK’s Universal Credit scheme.[51]

In terms of foreign policy, Starmer has advocated for an end to “illegal wars” and a review of the United Kingdom’s arms sales.[47] During his leadership campaign, he pledged to create a “Prevention of Military Intervention Act”, which would only permit lawful military action with the support of the House of Commons.[52][53] Starmer had previously opposed the Iraq War, stating that it was “not lawful under international law because there was no UN resolution expressly authorising it.”[53]

Starmer has been criticised for his opposition to Brexit, with some Labour colleagues citing his support for a second referendum as a reason the party lost the 2019 election.[54] In response, Starmer reiterated his belief in his position.[54]
