LONDON: Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday (Aug 27) it would take a long time to rebuild Britain and rid it of the rot he says took hold under the previous Conservative government, warning "things will get worse before they get better".
Britain's Prime Minister Keir Starmer delivers a speech during a press conference, following clashes after the Southport stabbing, at 10 Downing street in central London, Britain, Aug 1, 2024. LONDON: Prime Minister Keir Starmer said on Tuesday it would take a long time to rebuild Britain and rid it of the rot he says took hold under the previous Conservative government, warning"things will get worse before they get better".
He made his speech in the Rose Garden at Downing Street, where former prime minister Boris Johnson held one of many parties during COVID lockdowns, events that Starmer said shattered the trust between the public and its politicians. But, speaking a week before Britain's parliament returns from a summer break, he said his government was determined to tackle a multitude of problems ranging from overflowing prisons to a shortage of housing and long waiting lists for health services.
