Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer delivered his New Year’s Message on 31 December 2025, outlining a series of policies aimed at easing the cost of living and improving public services. He pledged increased police presence by March, the launch of new health hubs in April, and additional funding for local communities. The government will freeze rail fares, prescription charges and fuel duty, and reduce energy bills by £150. A rise in the National Minimum Wage and a significant cut in childcare costs were also announced. Starmer said these measures would help citizens feel hopeful, reduce decline and strengthen community pride. The speech was released via the official GOV.UK portal.
