Keir Starmer faces a hectic introduction to life as life as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom.
Newly elected Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer will have a hectic few days after taking over running the country
Appointments of junior ministers are likely to continue, as will calls from world leaders and first ministers of the devolved nations. “The Government has got to show that it’s taking charge immediately, and doing what’s necessary,” Lord Robin Butler, who oversaw the transition as cabinet secretary when Labour swept into power in 1997, told the PA news agency.
Lord O’Donnell, who served as Cabinet Secretary for six years, said: “His briefing pack will be extensive – Russia, Ukraine, the Middle East, the race for the US presidency, European defence spending. There is a lot to take in, and little time to prepare.”The first business will be to choose a Commons Speaker – with Sir Lindsay Hoyle set to be re-elected.
Just days after becoming Prime Minister, Sir Keir will be propelled onto the world stage, jetting to Washington DC for the Nato leaders’ summit which begins on Tuesday and finishes on Thursday. A key component of the ceremony is the King’s Speech, where he sets out the Government’s legislative programme for the coming session. The creation of Great British Energy and planning reform are expected to be at the forefront.
