What is Keir Starmer’s ‘plan for change’ and will it reverse Labour’s fortunes?

Sir Keir Starmer’s time in government was summed up on Sunday by Sky’s Trevor Phillips as “the Taylor Swift tickets, the suits, the dresses, the glasses, the No 10 passes, the chief of staff sacked inside six months”. open image in gallery Keir Starmer will set out his ‘plan for change’ on Thursday The Independent looks at what the PM’s “plan for change” will entail, and whether it will be enough to reverse his fortunes. But, in a stark assessment of the PM’s chances, Britain’s top polling guru Professor Sir John Curtice told The Independent it will be hard for a man with “no ability to construct a narrative” to sell the plan to voters. After Labour’s general election “Change” slogan and its “Change Begins” party conference slogan, it remains to be seen whether Sir Keir’s “plan for change” will be enough to turn things around.
