UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer says 'tough decisions' to come, in first news conference | BBC News

Keir Starmer has said that he is going to have to make tough decisions and "make them early" in his first news conference as UK prime minister.
He said that prisons are an obvious example of an issue that needs to be addressed, "where other parts of the system are broken".
On Saturday he chaired a cabinet meeting for the first time in Downing Street in which he said a "huge amount of work" was under way.

He articulately says nothing. He was asked what concrete changes he will make, and he said "there's already been a change of mindset". Lmao. That is pure politician evasion.

[@superrrnova1986]

[@Dan-id8wv]

Well, the first thing he's going to do is reform the prison system. Likely because it's going to be an easy win for him. He has the connections, first hand knowledge and the budget to do so. After that, we'll see.

[@polla2256]

[@user-puytnkv]

Why would he show his hand to the whole country like that. He doesnt need to.

[@giocanni3590]

@@user-puytnkv why wouldn't he show his hand? I tell you why: because the "tough" decisions he is talking about are to tax the hell out of the working people. You can't tax the rich, you can't tax the poor... you can only continue to tax the working class, but the decision is between taxing a lot and taxing too much. If he doesn't have anything to hide, then he should have no problems showing his hand.

5 years isn't long to clean up 14 years of complete incompetence and mismanagement. His main plan seems to be to change the planning system so that we can actually build the housing and infrastructure to support business expansion and grow the economy after 14 years of stagnation. That will take time - I hope we give it to him instead of voting in more populists who promise the world and deliver nothing.

I was highly skeptical of Keir's leading ability during the election but his first news conference has put me at ease. "Turn our backs on tribal politics and simply picking issues we want to fight", I've been wanting this for years. It's very early into Keir's reign as PM but I feel he's going to do a good job. Total 180 to how I felt last week.
