Keir Starmer: Who is the new Prime Minister and can he give Britain the change it desperately wants?

CNN  

London CNN — Four-and-a-half years ago, Britain’s Labour Party suffered its worst election defeat since 1935. Addressing the nation before entering 10 Downing Street Friday afternoon, Starmer pledged a return to the politics of public service, vowing to heal the “weariness at the heart of the nation” with “action not words.” It was clear going into this election campaign that Britain was screaming out for change after 14 years of Conservative rule that saw cuts in public spending, stretched public services, the chaos of Brexit, a cost-of-living crisis and a sitting prime minister fined by police while in office for the first time in history.
