  • Keir Starmer will use a major speech this week to set specific goals to meet on his flagship 'missions' by the election as the PM seeks to hammer home 'change' message to voters

Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, has announced plans to reform the UK's political system by introducing a "Take Back Control Bill" in the first term of a Labour government. This bill aims to devolve powers from Westminster to local communities, focusing on areas like employment support, transport, energy, housing, culture, and childcare. Starmer's initiative seeks to address the sense of disempowerment felt by many since the Brexit vote, promising to give communities more control over their economic futures. He emphasized that this devolution would not be a one-size-fits-all approach but tailored to the specific needs of different regions, potentially including Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland. This move is part of Labour's broader strategy to rebuild trust in politics by making it more responsive to local needs and less centralized.
