The newly elected Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Keir Starmer, has promised that his government will serve the people.
The Labour Party leader, in his first speech delivered from Downing Street, said citizens voted decisively for change.
The new Prime Minister promised voters: “My Government will serve you” whether or not they voted Labour as he vowed to show “politics can be a force for good.”
He said: “But now our country has 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.”
He also commended the immediate past Prime Minister, Rishi Sunak saying “I want to thank the outgoing prime minister, Rishi Sunak. His achievement as the first British Asian prime minister of our country, the extra effort that will have required, should not be underestimated by anyone and we pay tribute to that today. And we also recognise the dedication and hard work he brought to his leadership.”
In his view “Changing a country is not like flicking a switch. The world is now a more volatile place. This will take a while. But have no doubt that the work of change begins immediately.
Have no doubt that we will rebuild Britain with wealth created in every community, our NHS back on its feet facing the future, secure borders, safer streets, everyone treated with dignity and respect at work, the opportunity of clean British power cutting your energy bills for good.
And, brick by brick, we will rebuild the infrastructure of opportunity, the world-class schools and colleges, the affordable homes that I know are the ingredients of hope for working people, and the security that working-class families like mine can build their lives around,” he added.
