The comments made by Keir Starmer, the Prime Minister, on 24 October 2025.
We must press ahead with the renewal that working people need to see.
Now, this week, we received another reminder of just how urgent that task is. A bad result in Wales, I accept that, but a reminder that people need to look out their window and see change and renewal in their community, opportunities for their children, public services rebuilt, the cost of living crisis tackled.
Renewal is the only answer to decline, to grievance and to division and we have to keep going on that. It is the offer we must make to the people of Scotland, Wales and England next year.
And that means we must come together. We must unite. We must keep our focus on what is, in my view, the defining battle for the soul of our nation.
