The Observer – Things can only get worse, Starmer warns working people
There is a stark warning from the prime minister who is planning to give a speech this week, outlining the scale of the economic and social pressures people will face in the months to come.
Keir Starmer warns of tough times ahead to fix ‘Tory ruins’
British people will have to endure even worse economic and social pressures in the months to come as the Labour government takes “unpopular decisions” to rebuild the country from “rubble and ruin” left by the Tories, Keir Starmer will warn this week.
With the prime minister under mounting pressure from within his own party to help people struggling with rising fuel payments and millions of families in poverty, Starmer will strike a defiant note against those demanding U-turns from his ministers, saying “tough choices” will have to be made before any recovery is possible.
Starmer’s speech on Tuesday is being billed by Downing Street as “a direct message to the working people across Britain”.
He will say that the “rot” left by the Conservatives is so deep and so much worse than he had imagined that improvement “won’t happen overnight”.
