Sir Keir Starmer is set to become Britain’s seventh prime minister in a decade, pledging to “reset” the country’s course to focus more clearly on issues that matter to citizens, such as the cost-of-living crisis and deteriorating public services.
Once he unveils his cabinet, which has already sparked considerable controversy within the ruling Labour Party, he will face a long list of challenges, including the poor performance of utility companies and sluggish economic growth.
On Friday, Starmer described his election as leader of the Labour Party as “the most significant moment of change in our policy in 40 years.”
He pledged to bring about radical change to the political system in order to quickly raise living standards and help a country eager for change become a place “where life is easier.”
Starmer’s first challenge will be to appoint his government team, particularly the chancellor of the exchequer, after disagreements over this crucial portfolio have brought down previous administrations.
