Keir Starmer Outlines 'Plan for Change' with Focus on Policing and Public Services

The Prime Minister's new policy framework emphasizes neighborhood policing, economic growth, and reforms to address public trust challenges.

Keir Starmer's 'Plan for Change,' set to be unveiled Thursday, focuses on five key missions, including economic growth, NHS reforms, and tackling crime.
The plan includes a pledge to provide every neighborhood in England and Wales with a named, contactable police officer to address local issues and rebuild public trust in policing.
Labour aims to recruit 13,000 additional neighborhood officers, though critics argue only 3,000 will be fully warranted police officers, with funding concerns raised by the opposition.
The plan also outlines commitments to reduce NHS waiting lists, build 1.5 million homes, and achieve carbon-free electricity by 2030.
Starmer's government faces declining public confidence after just 150 days in office, with challenges including leadership turnover and economic pressures.
