He added his Labour administration has begun the "work of change" since winning the general election in July and pointed to an increase in the minimum wage, clean energy projects and NHS investment as examples.
The 80th anniversaries of two notable moments of the Second World War Victory in Europe (VE) Day and Victory over Japan (VJ) Day also provide a chance for the nation to "come together" in 2025, Sir Keir said.
