Walking up this street two years ago was the proudest moment of my life. A new Labour government.
The first in 14 years. A page in our country's history turned after years of disappointment and despair. The chance to change the lives of millions of people for the better.
The Details
That's what I came into politics for. The journey to that point was not easy. Six years ago, I inherited a Labour Party that was politically, financially and morally bankrupt.
I was told, time and time again, that my party was finished. Follow live updatesThat we were consigned to history, that a majority at the general election, let alone a landslide majority, was impossible. But we proved those people wrong because we changed our party.
Ripping out the poison of antisemitism, restoring trust on the economy, defence, and national security. And becoming a party that, once again, stood proudly with, not against, our national flag. The hard work of change was with a singular purpose.
What Experts Say
Not power for power's sake but to change Britain for the better. To build a fairer country, with dignity and respect, where everyone is seen, everyone is valued. Wealth and opportunity for all, not just the privileged few.
And look at what we've achieved in just two years. An economy that is stronger, growing faster than our peers. Wages rising faster than inflation in every single month since we came to power.
Investment secured, infrastructure being built. An end to austerity, with the fastest fall in NHS waiting lists for 17 years. The biggest improvement in rights for workers and renters in a generation.
The development has drawn wide international attention, with diplomatic circles watching closely.
