Impending Speech and Government Reset

A significant speech by Keir Starmer is anticipated, which is being discussed in terms of its potential to signal a shift in government strategy. While government officials assert that this is not a 'reset,' the timing close to Christmas suggests a need for better communication to address various ongoing issues. The government is expected to focus on five key missions, including clean power and NHS improvements, with an emphasis on realistic targets like reducing NHS waiting lists. This approach reflects a recognition that abstract growth metrics may not resonate with voters, as recent political trends indicate a desire for more tangible improvements in living standards.
