Starmer: Things will get worse before they get better
Sir Keir Starmer will warn this week that things will get worse before they get better, claiming that there is “rot deep in the heart” of Britain.
In what will be seen as an attempt to lay the groundwork for sweeping tax rises and spending cuts, the Prime Minister will claim to have inherited “not just an economic black hole but a societal black hole”.
Sir Keir will warn “working people” that he must take “unpopular decisions” in a speech on Tuesday.
Sir Keir will say he will be honest “about the choices we face and how tough this will be”.
He will add: “Frankly – things will get worse before we get better.”
The Prime Minister will say: “When there is rot deep in the heart of a structure, you can’t just cover it up. You can’t tinker with it or rely on quick fixes. You have to overhaul the entire thing. Tackle it at the root. Even if it’s harder work and takes more time.”
