The UK’s Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has met with King Charles and has taken office as the UK’s new Prime Minister after a landslide general election victory, ending 14 years of Conservative rule.
In his first speech, Starmer said the UK had “voted decisively for change, for national renewal and a return of politics to public service.
“When the gap between the sacrifices made by people and the service they receive from politicians grows this big, it leads to a weariness in the heart of a nation, a draining away of the hope, the spirit, the belief in a better future.
“But we need to move forward together. Now this wound, this lack of trust can only be healed by actions not words, I know that.
“But we can make a start today with the simple acknowledgement that public service is a privilege and that your government should treat every single person in this country with respect.”
