How do Sir Keir Starmer and Anas Sarwar revive Labour's fortunes north and south of the Border? MICHAEL Settle asserts in his Analysis article ("Time has come for Labour to step up and reinvent itself", The Herald, May 14) that Labour has to reinvent itself. I would dispute the implication that the Labour Party has to conjure up some magic formula of empty rhetoric to try to fool voters into giving their votes to Labour. The Tories did it with Brexit and the nationalists with independence, both with potentially disastrous results. Labour policies must concentrate on social justice. Health, housing, education and employment are the fundamentals that need addressed in the UK and particularly in Scotland. Young people especially are increasingly affected by lack of affordable housing, disrupted education and uncertain career opportunities. Labour couldn’t go far wrong with advocating a return to council house building and well-funded vocational training.
