Sir Keir Starmer Unveils Ambitious New Pledges for Living Standards and NHS Reform
In a significant speech, Sir Keir Starmer has put forth new pledges aimed at improving living standards and reducing NHS waiting times. The plan includes six milestones to be met by 2029, such as raising living standards across the UK, building 1.5 million homes, addressing hospital backlogs, expanding police presence, enhancing early childhood readiness, and achieving 95% clean power by 2030. However, the Conservative Party criticized the plan for lacking concrete immigration targets and diluting prior commitments on decarbonization.
