In the UK, things will “get worse,” according to Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer must warn his fellow citizens on Tuesday that their lives will be ruined. “It gets worse before it gets better”In his first speech since taking office, Keir Starmer, the Labour leader who won a huge majority in the July 4 election, is expected to denounce the legacy of the previous Conservative government in the speech, excerpts of which have been released in advance.

We have inherited a black hole, both in the economy and in society. That is why we must act and do things differently.He should say in his speech. “This involves being honest with people: about the choices we face, and the difficulties we will face. Frankly, things will get worse before they get better.”

“difficult decisions”

His services did not specify in what context the British Prime Minister should deliver this speech. Finance Minister Rachel Reeves recently warned that the new government will have to take “difficult decisions” – Cut spending or raise taxes – for its first budget, which it must present by October 30.

Since Labour’s victory, she has repeatedly accused the Conservatives, led by former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, of blowing a £22bn (€26bn) hole in this year’s budget. Her opponents claim that she should have known about the state of the country’s finances months ago and is simply preparing people’s minds for unpopular announcements. More generally, commentators say voters may quickly tire of hearing Labour constantly invoke the Tory legacy rather than taking action.

“14 years of populism and failures”

The situation is “Worse than we imagined”Keir Starmer must be fired. According to him, the Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR, the equivalent of the French Court of Auditors) “He was not aware (…) because the previous government hid it.”.

The Prime Minister is also due to discuss the recent riots that have rocked the UK after a knife attack killed three young girls attending dance classes. According to him, the rioters were able to exploit this “Fractures in our society after 14 years of populism and failures” Under the conservatives.

Authorities have accused far-right activists of encouraging the riots, which have particularly targeted mosques and hotels housing asylum seekers. They blamed an online disinformation campaign describing the attacker as a Muslim asylum seeker. He was actually born in Britain to parents from Rwanda, a majority Christian country.
