Starmer's revolutionary solution for UK. Replace old rot with new rot.
What he really means is that he will paint over the old rot and call it new rot.
Starmer did not receive a mandate in the election. Starmer's solution: “We will stabilize our economy, clear out the Tory rot, fix the foundations and deliver the mandate of change,” he added.
This man is delusional and boasts about moving the Labor Party to the centre, which is where the Conservative Party is.
Starmer received about 30% of the votes from a low 60% voter turnout. That means he has the support of 18% of the UK public.
The fool has no policies or plans that are any different than those which caused UK's current state of economic decay.
Starmer's renewal policy is just a word salad of failed promises from the past.
Starmer has no answers. He has not even identified all the problems let alone the solutions.
The UK is financially and economically bankrupt.

Key Points
UK prime minister Keir Starmer’s efforts to instill a sense of optimism come after the government has been accused of doom-mongering over the state of the U.K. economy.
“Change must mean nothing less than national renewal,” he told a crowd of Labour Party delegates Tuesday.
Finance Minister Rachel Reeves also sought to strike a tone of positivity on Monday, saying in her keynote speech that her “optimism for Britain burns brighter than ever.”

LIVERPOOL, England — U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer insisted on Tuesday that tough decisions taken now will spark a new era for Britain, as he sought to shake a fog of pessimism that has clouded his new premiership.
“Change must mean nothing less than national renewal,” he told a crowd of Labour Party delegates Tuesday.
“The truth is that if we take tough long-term decisions now, if we stick to driving purpose behind everything we do ... then that light at the end of this tunnel, that Britain that belongs to you, we get there much more quickly,” he said at the close of Labour’s annual party conference, its first in power for 15 years.
Starmer lambasted the previous Conservative government for decimating public services and destroying trust, insisting that politics could be a “force for good” as he outlined Labour’s plan for progress.
“We must build a new Britain. We must be a great reforming government,” he said.
The prime minister’s efforts to instill a sense of optimism come after the government has been accused of doom-mongering over the state of the U.K. economy and providing little detail on how it plans to improve things.
A decision to limit winter fuel payments for pensioners and controversy over ministers’ use of donations for clothing and hospitality have also hampered enthusiasm for the new government less than three months after its landslide victory in July.
“If this path were popular or easy, we would have walked it already,” Starmer said, defending the fuel cuts.
Among his government’s progress so far, Starmer cited settling the NHS doctors’ strike, new solar projects and offshore wind farms, planning reforms, stopping no-fault evictions, the creation of a National Wealth Fund, and legislation to renationalize railways.
“The work of change has begun. The patient, calm, determined era of government as service has begun,” he said.
“And we’re only just getting started,” he added, citing plans to reduce knife crime, introduce a new industrial strategy and combat benefit fraudsters, among others.
Starmer used his speech to repeat his five priorities for securing the so-called national renewal: boosting economic growth, reforming the National Health Service, enhancing Britain’s borders, improving education and shifting to clean energy.
He also declared his success in shifting the party to the political center from its previous left-wing leadership under Jeremy Corbyn, and restoring it to “the service of the working people.”
