Labour Party leader in the United Kingdom, Keir Starmer has told voters that Britain can begin a new chapter if the party wins the ongoing election.
Speaking on Thursday after casting his vote, Starmer, whose party is poised to clinch victory at the poll after the 14-year rule of the conservatives, reminded citizens that the nation’s future is on the ballot.
“Britain’s future is on the ballot. Today, vote to turn the page on the last 14 years,” he stated while appealing to voters to trust him, as reported by Mirror.
“Change will only happen if you vote for it,” he added as a warning against complacency.
Starmer further shared that if elected, he would begin the job of fixing Britain right away, pledging to revive the economy, put 6,500 more teachers in schools and bring down NHS waiting lists by putting on millions of extra hospital appointments.
“Today, Britain can begin a new chapter. A new age of hope and opportunity after 14 years of chaos and decline. This is a great nation, with boundless potential.
“The British people deserve a government that matches their ambition. Today is the chance to begin the work of rebuilding Britain with Labour.”
