This is what Number 10 has told us about the Prime Minister’s speech in advance:
Keir Starmer today (Monday 11 May) will say that “incremental change won’t cut it” as he vows that “we will face up to the big challenges” the country faces, according to Downing Street.
The Prime Minister has said that he will set out the next steps in his plan to build a stronger and fairer Britain in the coming days and weeks, Number 10 says.
As part of this, he will deliver a speech on Monday where he will say: “To meet the challenges that our country faces incremental change won’t cut it.
“On growth, defence, Europe, energy – we need a bigger response than we anticipated in 2024 because these are not ordinary times.
“Strength through fairness. It’s a core Labour argument. And you will see those values writ large in the King’s Speech. And you will see hope, urgency and exactly whose side we are on.”
He will add: “People need hope. We will face up to the big challenges and we will make the big arguments.
“The Labour case that only Labour values and Labour policies can ensure our country not only weathers these storms but emerges stronger and fairer.”
He will go on to say that Nigel Farage and the Conservatives are “defined by breaking our relationship with Europe”.
He will add: “This Labour Government will be defined by rebuilding our relationship and by putting Britain at the heart of Europe. So that we are stronger on the economy, on trade, on defence, you name it.
“Because standing shoulder to shoulder with the countries that most share our interests, our values and our enemies that is the right choice for Britain, that is the Labour choice.”
