The Labour leader will set out his pitch to voters at a speech in the west of England marking the beginning of what Labour believes will be a fivemonth lead-up to the election.
After a series of policy U-turns that have left many Labour activists dismayed, Starmer will insist that the party will change the country, should it return to power, thanks to its commitment to public service.
But as his senior officials rush to finish the party's manifesto by the end of this month, Starmer will warn his supporters not to hope for the kind of eye-catching policies they have promised in previous years, which he will dismiss as "gesture politics".
"It will feel different," Starmer will say. "The character of politics will change, and with it the national mood. A collective breathing out, a burden lifted, and then the space for a more hopeful look forward. Because the truth is, it's this kind of politics and only this kind of politics that can offer real change."
