Keir promises 'the work begin 'to rebuild Britain'

The new Prime Minister entered No10 on a pledge to restore trust in politics and a vow to renew the nation's spirit.

Jubilant well-wishers gathered to welcome the UK's new leader and his wife Victoria to Downing Street.

Sir Keir said: "Our country has voted decisively for change, for national renewal and a return of politics to public service.

"When the gap between the sacrifices made by people and the service they receive from politicians grows this big, it leads to a weariness in the heart of a nation, a draining away of the hope, the spirit, the belief in a better future.

"But we need to move forward together. Now this wound, this lack of trust can only be healed by actions not words, I know that.

"But we can make a start today with the simple acknowledgement that public service is a privilege and that your Government should treat every single person in this country with respect."

He said: "My Government will serve you, politics can be a force for good", adding: "The work of change begins immediately, but have no doubt, we will rebuild Britain."
