A future Labour government will not get its “big government chequebook” out and try to spend its way out of the “mess” inherited from the Conservatives, UK Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has pledged.

In his first major speech in 2023, Starmer said that there is “a growing impatience for change, for real change, lasting change, national renewal,” and “the British people are turning to Labour to provide that change.”
