LAYLA Moran has warned Labour leader Keir Starmer he should be worried if she becomes leader of the Liberal Democrats.
She told Business Insider that she wants to push her party to the left and be ‘even more radical than Labour’.
The Lib Dems are set to elect a new leader in August.
I want the Lib Dems to be a progressive, radical force in British politics, and to provide a vision of real national renewal for the British people. And as part of my plan to beat the Tories, I'm open to working alongside other progressive parties. https://t.co/qklUa5RDQP

The Oxford West and Abingdon MP said: “I want to take the Lib Dems back to our radical roots. I want us to be seen as more radical than Labour.
“I will be more radical than Labour and I will be unapologetic about that.
“When I was at university, I know it is difficult for people to remember this, but it was cool to vote Lib Dem.
“I want it to be cool to vote Lib Dem again.”
Although she ruled out entering Government with Boris Johnson, she said she would be willing to work with Mr Starmer’s Labour party.
