Keir Starmer Prepares 'Plan for Change' to Address Key Challenges

The UK Prime Minister aims to reset his government with a focus on economic growth, NHS reform, and environmental targets as public dissatisfaction grows.

Keir Starmer is set to unveil his 'Plan for Change' this Thursday, outlining specific targets across five key policy areas: economy, environment, NHS, crime, and education.
Labour's economic goals include a shift from broad G7 growth comparisons to specific metrics like real household disposable income, aiming to address living standards directly.
The government remains committed to ambitious 2030 net-zero energy goals, though critics highlight feasibility concerns and potential cost implications for households.
Starmer's NHS reforms aim to reduce waiting times, with a pledge to ensure 92% of patients receive treatment within 18 weeks, a target not met since 2015.
Public approval of the Labour government has declined sharply, with critics citing broken promises, economic concerns, and a lack of relatable leadership.
