🛑 Keir Starmer is about to announce his govt’s new set of milestones - including pledging to raise living standards across the UK.
His new targets join the govt’s three foundations; five missions, six first steps, and seven pillars of economic growth. Still with me?
The three foundations are: economic stability, secure borders, and national security.
Missions: Economic growth, NHS for the future, safer streets, breaking barriers to opportunity, clean energy superpower.
