Prime Minister Keir Starmer will set out six major targets today in a speech that’s been dubbed an emergency reset.

Labour’s plans will be unveiled at an event in a film studio attended by his cabinet as Starmer attempts to claw back the support of his country at 10.45am today from Buckinghamshire.

Starmer will say: “Hard-working Brits are going out grafting every day but are getting short shrift from a politics that should serve them.

“They reasonably want a stable economy; their country to be safe; their borders secure; more cash in their pocket; safer streets in their town; opportunities for their children; secure British energy in their home; and an NHS that is there when they need it. My mission-led government will deliver.”

Downing Street insists the attempt to refocus Starmer’s premiership is not a “reset”, despite his polling plummeting dramatically.

A key target outlined in Labour’s manifesto is carrying out 92% of routine operations and appointments within 18 weeks, a target that has not been achieved for over a decade. However, the prime minister will recommit to this promise, hoping to achieve it by March 2029.

The prime minister is set to deliver a major ‘plan for change’ today, detailing ambitious ‘milestones’ to achieve the six missions laid out in Labour’s manifesto.

Sir Keir Starmer will commit to “galvanising” his government outlined in six clear promises which he aims to deliver by the next general election.

The speech will see the prime minister pledge to raise living standards, cut the NHS waiting lists, build 1.5 million new homes, improve pre-school education, set new targets for green energy and put more police on the beat in England and Wales.

However, he is not expected to make a pledge on migration, despite believing it is one of the Tories

His other pledge of building new homes by the end of his parliament has been met with criticism from experts who have suggested that it is unlikely. This week, think tank, Centre for Cities, new analysis shows that he will miss his housing target by “at least” 388,000 homes.

Another one of the six pledges Starmer is set to announce is a guarantee that every neighbourhood will have a named, contactable police officer responsible for dealing with local issues.

That will amount to recruiting 13,000 new community police officers, which would bring the total police workforce to a level above its 2010 peak.
