Prime Minister Keir Starmer has declared that Labour's economic plan will require years to deliver fully, writing in The Guardian that the government will pursue a big, bold long-term strategy rather than quick fixes to renew Britain. The statement comes as Starmer attempts to regain narrative control following turbulent reactions to Chancellor Rachel Reeves' recent budget, which imposed 26 billion pounds in tax increases. The PM will also signal fresh welfare reforms in an upcoming speech.
