  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer will set out plans on Thursday to deliver on his priorities to raise living standards and rebuild Britain in a speech he hopes will draw a line under what even some of his supporters say has been a bumpy start to government.

The article from Reuters discusses how UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer, under pressure to deliver on his promises, has outlined plans to fulfill his election pledges. Facing criticism for perceived policy U-turns, Starmer emphasized the need for a "decade of national renewal" to address the deep-seated issues within the UK. He highlighted plans to tackle economic growth, health service backlogs, and crime, while also promising to reform planning laws to boost housebuilding. Starmer's strategy includes a focus on stability and long-term solutions rather than quick fixes, aiming to rebuild trust with voters by demonstrating a commitment to practical, deliverable policies. This comes at a time when the Labour Party is leading in polls, but there is growing skepticism about their ability to enact significant change.
