The Prime Minister’s official spokesman said: “We’ve always been clear that the benefits of growth must be felt by working people, and the milestones set out later in the week will set out how we’re going to achieve that.” Along with economic growth, Labour’s other missions involve making the UK a clean energy “superpower”, halving serious violent crime as part of a plan to “take back our streets”, reforming childcare and education to break down barriers to opportunity, and building an NHS fit for the future. “When it comes to the NHS, as the Darzi Review showed, we inherited an NHS that’s broken and the manifesto showed clearly that tackling waiting lists would be our immediate priority.” The Times carried warnings from an NHS source that the focus on meeting the 18-week target could have knock-on effects elsewhere in England’s health service, leading to “warzone A&E departments and all sorts of other things being sidelined” such as mental health and community care. Downing Street later indicated immigration would also feature in the Prime Minister’s speech, and said Sir Keir had made clear his wish to “significantly reduce net migration”.
