Watch live as Sir Keir Starmer delivers Labour’s major “plan for change” speech on Thursday (5 December).
The prime minister is expected to address several milestones including raising living standards, ending hospital backlogs and putting more police on the beat.
Sir Keir is set to promise a named, contactable police officer for every neighbourhood in England and Wales, who will be focused on dealing with local issues.
Sir Keir is expected to describe the move as “a relief to millions of people scared to walk their streets they call home”, and promise a range of policing reforms to improve performance alongside £100m to support neighbourhood policing.
In a speech billed as setting out the “next phase” of his government, the PM is expected to detail ambitious “milestones” for achieving the five missions laid out in Labour’s manifesto.
