  • Keir Starmer vowed that Britain would show leadership in turbulent times in a major speech on foreign policy - with a commitment to working with the EU and Donald Trump's USA

Keir Starmer, the Labour Party leader, has accused the Conservative government of turning the UK into a "laughing stock" due to their handling of the economy and public services. In his speech, Starmer criticized the government for the ongoing strikes, particularly highlighting the nurses' strike, and the economic turmoil following the mini-budget under former PM Liz Truss. He pointed out the lack of a coherent plan from the Conservatives, leading to increased taxes, higher mortgage rates, and a cost-of-living crisis. Starmer emphasized that the public is suffering from these policies, with many unable to afford basic necessities like heating their homes. He promised that Labour would focus on economic stability, growth, and improving public services if elected, aiming to restore the UK's reputation and address the immediate needs of the populace.
