Keir Starmer defends outdoor smoking ban amid backlash
Sir Keir Starmer has defended his government's decision to consider an outdoor smoking ban for pub gardens and sports venues.
A report released on Thursday morning suggests the prime minister is considering a ban in certain outdoor areas including pub gardens and outside hospitals.
"Over 80,000 people lose their lives every year because of smoking.
That's a preventable death and it's a huge burden on the NHS and it's a burden on the taxpayer," Mr Starmer said.
