Keir Starmer has promised to rebuild Britain as Labour did after the second world war as he enters a pivotal year for his premiership.
The prime minister said in his prerecorded new year message that 2025 would be a year of rebuilding, with his government looking to turn the corner after a turbulent first six months in power.
Starmer invoked the forthcoming 80th anniversary of VE Day in May as he compared the task his government faces with that the Attlee government faced in 1945.
Labour ends 2024 with its poll rating lower than at any other year-end since the war, with surveys suggesting it would lose 200 seats if another election were held now. Starmer’s aides insist voters will change their minds as they feel the effect of improvements to public services over the next few years, beginning in 2025.
Starmer said: “That is what we will be focusing on: a year of rebuilding. But also, rediscovering the great nation that we are, a nation that gets things done no matter how hard or tough the circumstances.
“We will have time to reflect on that this year, a chance, with the 80th anniversary of VE and VJ Day, to cherish the greatest victories of this country and the greatest generation that achieved it.
“But that victory, and indeed the peace and the prosperity that followed, all rested on that same foundation we must rebuild today. The security of working people, that is the purpose of this government, the goal of our plan for change. And we will push it forward in 2025.”
The prime minister is spending New Year’s Eve on holiday with his family, the first time he has been able to get away since becoming prime minister, after cancelling his summer plans when the riots broke out.
