Britain’s new Prime Minister Keir Starmer said Friday that the U.K. needs a “reset” following his party’s landslide victory in the country’s Parliamentary election on Thursday. In a speech outside 10 Downing Street, Starmer pledged action but said that change would “take time.”
“Now, this wound, this lack of trust can only be healed by actions not words – and 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.
Starmer’s predecessor, Rishi Sunak, apologized to Britons as he left 10 Downing Street earlier on Friday, adding that the electorate had given a “clear signal” that the government must change.
The election result has upended British politics. Labour won some 410 seats, an increase of 210, while the Conservatives lost about 250 lawmakers, including a record number of senior ministers and former prime minister Liz Truss.
