LABOUR WIN GENERAL ELECTION
05/07/2024
KEIR STARMER IS SET TO BECOME PRIME MINISTER
Sir Keir Starmer said “election victories don’t fall from the sky”, in his victory speech after Labour won the General Election.
The incoming Prime Minister said: “Don’t forget how we got here. This morning we can see that the British people have voted to turn the page.”
He went on: “I may have mentioned my parents a few times on this campaign – once or twice – but the sense of security we had, the comfort we had from believing that Britain would always be better for their children. The hope – not high minded, not idealistic – but a hope that working class families like mine could build their lives around.
“It is a hope that might not burn brightly in Britain at the moment but we have earned the mandate to relight the fire. That is the purpose of this party and this government.
“We said we would end the chaos and we will. We said we would turn the page and we have. Today we start the next chapter, begin the work of change, the mission of national renewal and start to rebuild our country. Thank you.”
