PM pledges to listen to areas 'failed' by politics
The Herald
|April 11, 2025
POLITICS has failed communities across the UK for decades, Sir Keir Starmer has said, as he promised change to bring an end to an era of "managed decline".
-
The Prime Minister said towns and cities such as Doncaster, where he yesterday announced a £30 million investment in its airport, had been underestimated and their people ignored.
Sir Keir said jobs and opportunities needed to be created for people across the UK, including the city in South Yorkshire.
Speaking at the airport on the local elections campaign trail, he said: "We are not a Government that is just going to sit back and hope.
"I strongly believe that is how politics has failed our communities for so many years, because in the past politics has tried to manage crises, and that has only led to managed decline.
