Labour’s attempts to encroach on traditional Conservative Party territory came as Health Secretary Victoria Atkins outlined moves to boost community care and help make the NHS “faster, simpler and fairer”. Ms Cooper told the BBC’s Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg: “We’re not setting a target and the reason for that is partly because, to be honest, every time the Conservatives have done this, frankly, then they have just ended up being totally all over the place, ripping it up and discredited the whole system.”

Ms Cooper also sought to distance Labour from a report in The Sunday Times that a number of left-wingers, including Diane Abbott, have been offered peerages in return for quitting.
