In a message delivered on Christmas eve, the prime minister said he will be ‘looking towards a better, brighter future for every person’. Sir Keir Starmer has delivered his Christmas message to the nation, saying his “thoughts are with all those who are lonely” over the festive season.
The prime minister also said he will be “hoping for peace” over the Christmas period, amid increasing instability in the Middle East, as well as thanking NHS workers and the Armed Forces. In a message delivered on Christmas eve, the prime minister said he will be “looking towards a better, brighter future for every person”.
It comes as the government maintains its ‘Plan for Change’ will improve living standards, despite the latest growth figures showing the economy flatlined in the third quarter of the year. The figures will come as a fresh blow for Sir Keir’s government, which has put economic growth at the heart of its mission.
Sir Keir said its important to “remind ourselves what’s really important” over Christmas - pointing to family, friendship and “being there for one another” in more difficult times. “This Christmas, people will be travelling up and down the country. Heading home, visiting relatives and loved ones to celebrate together the hope and joy of this special season”, the prime minister said.
