2026 is year more will feel real change

PM's vow to keep up cost of living fight

- BY ALEXANDER BROWN

KEIR Starmer says there can be no letup in the fight to help families with the cost of living.

The PM will tell voters 2026 is the year they will feel real change from action taken by the government, while promising to use every tool to make the lives of Brits better.

His pledge comes as Chancellor Rachel Reeves declared Labour defied the forecasts of gloom in 2025 - and will do so again next year.

Next week, Mr Starmer meets commuters to discuss help for passengers, following the first freeze in rail fares for more than 30 years.

And he will tell households: "This Labour government is on your side, doing everything we can to ease the cost of living - and make life better.
