In the wake of riveting taxes and financial challenges, the UK receives even more hard news from British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. He noted that it is “going to be painful.”

According to Starmer, the Labour government has inherited a £22 billion black hole of debt in public finance. On top of that, the rest of the country is not looking too good either, as there is also a “societal black hole,” he added.

Change is a big part of the Labour government’s manifesto, and the UK has seen a lot of transformation. “We can stop the chaos, turn the page, and start to rebuild our country,” Keir Starmer wrote in the manifesto.

In immigration, the scrapping of the “dead” Rwanda Scheme was one of the first things to go. Other security measures were then put into place to manage small boat crossing issues. 

More Changes to Improve

Many other changes and “bombshell” surprises were also implemented. The state of the NHS had the Secretary for Health asking for answers and getting to the raw truth of the problem. 

No Perfect Government

No government is perfect, and different opinions and preferences will always exist. When Britain first heard of the financial crises, Chancellor Rachel Reeves had already forewarned of the fact that taxes would, indeed, increase.

If the tax increase wasn’t bad enough, the prison also faced difficult issues, which Labour blamed the Tory government for.

The Prime Minister has confirmed that “things will get worse.” he also noted that “change won’t happen overnight” either. 

Rot From Deep Within

Starmer compared the country’s circumstances to “rot.” he said, “we will do the hard work to root out 14 years of rot, reverse a decade of decline, and fix the foundation.”

Fixing the UK Will Get Ugly

Before it gets good, it will get ugly, Sir Starmer said, comparing the UK’s situation to what it is now and that it would get bad. He noted that the labour government is about being open with the people and thus are going to tell the public what the choices are. 

Action Not Words

Starmer also stated that between now until Christmas, the government will work hard to take “action,” not just speak “words.” He further said that the government will “introduce legislation and take decisions.”

No Easy Choices

Starmer admits the choices are tough. Even the Prime Minister was forced to cancel his vacation plans in light of the riots that plagued the streets of the UK.

However, reports have noted that other members of authority and government have also cancelled any of their vacations to stand with the prime Minister and the country.

The Telegraph reported, “Boris Johnson… could not return sooner to deal with 2011 riots.”

Even Harder Decisions

Starmer, according to BBC, has requested that the country “would accept short-term pain for long-term good.”  If there was a thought that the winter pension fuel allowance was a hard pill to swallow, the Prime Minister said there would be more difficult decisions to come. 

Building the Country Together

He said the “…easy answer solves nothing…,”; however, “I also know that we can get through this together.” Starmer praised the people for standing together and picking up the pieces after the riots. He said, “…after the hard work of cleaning up the mess is done, we have a country that we have built together… and belongs to evry single one of us…”
