SAO PAULO – After Labour's landslide victory, Keir Starmer, the new Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, announced a “great restart”. After a meeting with the government of Charles III, he promised to restore the public service in a country weakened after 14 years of Conservative governments. Also, highlighting his “moderate” profile, he also promised to restore faith in politics.
“It's clear to all that our country needs a major reset, a reinvention of who we are. Because no matter how fierce the storms of history, one of this nation's greatest strengths has always been its ability to navigate calmer waters. It's up to politicians, especially like me, to maintain stability and moderation. Character advocates,” Starmer said.
Before number 10 Downing Street, the seat of British government, the new minister highlighted that the British people had voted for change. “Now, our country has voted decisively for change and a return to public service policy. Politics must be shifted back to public service. It shows that politics can be a force for good,” he said.
His party won over 410 seats in Parliament, compared to 120 for the Conservatives. Nevertheless, Starmer said “changing a country is not like flipping a switch”. And his government promises to rule for all Britons with “country first, party second”. Keeping a low profile, he called for an end to the “politics of spectacle”.
At the same time, Keir Starmer highlighted the need for affordable schools and housing in the country and pledged to “rebuild” England's “infrastructure of opportunity”, doing so “brick by brick”.

Starmer today confirmed the appointment of Rachel Reeves as Finance Minister. The 45-year-old economist is the first woman to lead the British economy. He promised the most “pro-growth” ministry in UK history. At the same time, he said he would work “hand in hand with the companies”. In addition to low growth, it receives the highest tax burden from its fellow taxpayers in seven decades.
With degrees in politics, philosophy and economics from Oxford and a master's degree from the London School of Economics, Reeves worked at the Bank of England and the Bank of England, where he also served as a correspondent in Washington. He joined the Labor Party at the age of 16 and became a key economic adviser to Starmer as party leader in recent years.
