Keir Starmer's Vision for National Renewal: Rebuilding Britain and Asking the Right Questions
UK Labour Party Leader Keir Starmer promises "a decade of national renewal" during his disrupted conference speech, which was briefly interrupted by a protester. Starmer highlighted the party's transformation since its 2019 election defeat and emphasized a shift away from gesture politics towards a focus on service. He pledged to build 1.5 million new homes, accelerate the National Grid, and invest in infrastructure to stimulate economic growth. Starmer also announced plans for a publicly-owned national energy company, technical excellence colleges, and a national wealth fund. Labour holds a significant lead over the Conservative Party in polls, but Starmer warned of a tough fight ahead in the upcoming election.
