They might have sounded a tad familiar, but the prime minister is hoping these pledges will win back trust
Sir Keir Starmer’s speech on Thursday mentioned the word “milestone” eight times and “missions” 13 times. There were also three “promises” and a “pledge”.
This all added up to one big thing: the prime minister attempting to turn the tide after a difficult start in government, by setting targets it must reach by the end of this parliament.
