Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to rebuild faith in politics.
Britain's new Prime Minister Keir Starmer has pledged to use his massive electoral majority to rebuild the country, saying he wanted to take the heat out of politics after years of upheaval and strife.
Standing outside his new office and residence at Number 10 Downing Street, Mr. Starmer acknowledged the scale of the challenge after his party's landslide victory in a parliamentary election that ended 14 years of often tumultuous Conservative government.
He warned that any improvements would take time, and he would need to first rebuild faith in politics.
Mr. Starmer was greeted by huge cheers and took time before making his speech to shake hands with and hug aides and well-wishers who lined Downing Street - scenes that were reminiscent of Tony Blair's arrival in government in 1997.
