The Prime Minister’s former deputy has been considered a potential kingmaker in a future leadership contest should Sir Keir be removed.
He commented: “Now, 17 months into a five-year Labour term, they claim ‘you’re unable to change the country.’
“Whenever we've found ourselves in this situation, we've proven them wrong.
“And that’s my intention moving forward.”
