Sir Keir Starmer recently introduced his government’s ‘plan for change’, featuring six milestones designed for public appraisal by the next general election in 2029. Key targets include building 1.5 million homes, reducing NHS waiting times, and achieving 95% clean power by 2030. Starmer emphasized the need for an energetic civil service to drive change, although immigration issues were notably absent from the milestones. These initiatives aim not only to improve public services but also to reshape government operations.
