Keir Starmer formally appointed as prime minister by King Charles

In a historic turn of events, Keir Starmer has been formally appointed as the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom following a resounding victory in yesterday’s general election. The announcement, made at Buckingham Palace by King Charles, marks a decisive shift in British politics.

Addressing the nation from Downing Street, Prime Minister Starmer pledged swift action, declaring, "You have given us a clear mandate, and we will use it to deliver change. To restore service and respect to politics. End the era of noisy performance. Tread more lightly on your lives. And unite our country."

Highlighting his government's priorities, Starmer emphasized rebuilding the infrastructure of opportunity, including world-class schools, affordable housing, and fostering hope for working people. He outlined a vision of unity across the four nations, resilient in the face of global challenges.

"We will govern country first, party second," Starmer affirmed, promising a government unburdened by rigid doctrines, committed to national renewal and inclusive progress.

In a Buckingham Palace statement confirming his appointment, King Charles acknowledged the mandate entrusted to Starmer, heralding a new chapter in British leadership.

Keir Starmer’s first national address as Prime Minister concluded with a call for national unity and cooperation, marking the beginning of what he described as an urgent mission for the country’s future.
