Sir Keir once again insisted "no Labour leader has ever done anything as serious” as expelling Corbyn from the party.
He says: "I’m not going to tell to the electorate, what do you think you’re doing?’
In our election showdown clash tonight:
- Rishi Sunak claimed “Keir Starmer won't tell you what he's going to do” - because you won’t like it
- The PM said he's "incredibly angry" about the Tory election betting scandal
- The Labour leader saw his plans to beat the small boats crisis blasted by hecklers
- Starmer insisted he will meet with JK Rowling to thrash out trans and gender rights in a bombshell statement
- Sunak claimed that he was one of the first to raise the alarm on Liz Truss's plans in 2022
"I’m going to say to my party, we need to shake this up and change it.
"I thought it was right to fight the big battles from inside the cabinet.
"I wanted to remain (in the EU) but now we have left, there's no going back."
Sir Keir even went on to praise Boris Johnson for his support over Ukraine.

He said: "Let me do something I don’t very often do and praise Boris Johnson.
"I disagreed with him on lots of things but to be fair on Ukraine he took a strong position.
"We both took the view that the only winner, if there was a split in our politics, would be Putin.
"It's in the national interest that we speak with one voice on something as crucial as Ukraine."
He says he's told Volodymyr Zelensky there will be "no change in our support for Ukraine if there is a change of government."
Sir Keir had previously dodged questions about whether he truly believed Corbyn would have made a “great” PM.
Last week he was repeatedly questioned on his support but insisted: "It wasn't a question that really arose because I didn't think we were going to win the election."
Instead Sir Keir said that Mr Corbyn would have made a better PM than Boris Johnson.
Sir Keir was also quizzed over his claim that the Conservatives had built a "Jeremy Corbyn-style manifesto".
He said the Tories would "load everything into the wheelbarrow" without explaining how to pay for it.
The Tories have criticised Starmer for flipflopping on his support for Corbyn and potentially lying to the public.
Ex-Tory cabinet minister Sir Simon Clarke has blasted: “This from the guy who backed two ‘actual’ Corbyn manifestos.
