The Prime Minister wants to reassure voters that tough policies will result in long-term gains
Britons must put up with living near prisons and new electricity pylons in order to enjoy higher living standards in the long term,In a direct attack on so-called “nimbys” who are wary of new construction where they live, Starmer said it would be necessary for communities to accept the building of homes and infrastructure.: “If we want justice to be served some communities must live close to new prisons.
He promised that building more homes would allow a new guarantee of social housing for military veterans, young people leaving care and domestic abuse victims anywhere in England. The speech contained few new policy announcements, with major decisions on tax and spending set to come in next month’s Budget.
“The stability, the moderation, the common sense. Keeping a cool head. Staying the course. Facing the future. The defiance of ambition. The determination of service. And above all, our faith, no matter the challenge, in practical solutions that work. Not the easy answers that may well move a crowd but do not move a nation forward.
