LABOUR leader Sir Keir Starmer once again refused to put a figure on what “fair pay” for care workers means today, as he faced a grilling from trade unionists.

Asked by a GMB member at the general union’s annual congress what he thought minimum pay across the austerity-hit essential sector should be, Sir Keir only promised negotiations, saying: “You will know what’s right for your members.”

The ambiguous response, which came almost two minutes after Jeremy Corbyn’s increasingly right-wing successor began his long-winded answer by stressing his “respect” for the workforce, was met with frustration by some in the Brighton Centre.
