In his first major speech, Prime Minister Keir Starmer described Britain as being in a "societal and economic black hole" and cautioned that "things will get worse before they get better." He highlighted the country’s dire condition, suggesting any recovery would require substantial effort rather than superficial fixes.
Starmer used the term 'rot' to depict the challenges facing modern Britain, implying that the problems were deep-rooted and necessitated fundamental change rather than quick fixes. He emphasized that citizens deserve honesty about the country’s troubles, unlike the ‘snake oil of populism’ sold by previous leaders.
Following the tragic stabbing attack in Southport that took the lives of three children, Britain erupted in riots fueled by misinformation linking the incident to immigration. Starmer’s government faced the challenge of not only addressing public outrage but also restoring order amid civil unrest that had not been seen for over a decade.
