Starmer will also reportedly outline plans for longer-term structural reforms, including measures to boost productivity, strengthen skills training, and address regional inequalities. The proposals are intended to move beyond short-term fixes and build a more resilient and inclusive economy.
The speech is anticipated to draw immediate reaction from the Conservative government and business leaders, with scrutiny likely to focus on the detail of Labour’s funding plans and the potential impact of its proposed reforms.
