Read our privacy policy Sir Keir Starmer will be under pressure to prove he can deliver on Labour’s promises in 2025 as the party faces its first electoral test since its landslide general election victory. After Rachel Reeves’ first Budget in October saw £40 billion of tax rises that she said would “wipe the slate clean”, she will set out a spending review next year. The Prime Minister ran on a platform of economic growth and has said he wants people to feel better off, but has acknowledged it will “take some time” before living standards improve across the country. He is putting Labour’s plans in motion, pledging to take on “nimbys” with planning reforms that aim to cut red tape and clear the way to build 1.5 million homes and get decisions made on 150 major infrastructure projects.
