🗣️ Keir Starmer: “I’ll be PM this time next year!” 💪
In a bold start to 2026, Sir Keir Starmer is optimistic about his future as Prime Minister. Despite a tricky 2025 with disappointing poll results and a sluggish economy, Starmer brushed off doubts in a recent chat with the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg.
Starmer warns against the “chopping and changing” seen in previous governments, emphasising stability as a key ingredient to national progress. According to him, the constant turnover in leadership led to chaos, which played a huge role in the downfall of the Tories in the last election.
🔍 Spotlight is on the upcoming Senedd and local elections, crucial events before the next general election expected in 2029. Starmer is standing firm on his “five-year mandate,” aiming to transform the nation and promising to be judged by results in the coming election.
In his New Year’s address, Starmer acknowledged the hard times many Brits face but pledged efforts to foster “a sense of hope”. He urged that persistent work will tackle public service issues and the cost of living crisis, although he admits that “renewal is not an overnight job.”
Starmer believes his choices in 2026 will bring tangible positive changes in people’s bills, communities, and health services, while continuing to push back against political fragmentation and divisions. 🌟
🔍 Recent polls show a sharp decline in Labour’s popularity with only 15% voter support, trailing behind Reform UK and Plaid Cymru. However, Starmer remains hopeful, focusing on delivering real change and urging patience and determination.
