Starmer is trying to regain momentum after heavy losses for his center-left party in local elections across England and legislative votes in Scotland and Wales. Last week's elections were widely seen as an unofficial referendum on Starmer, whose popularity has plummeted since he swept to power in a landslide less than two years ago.
His government has struggled to deliver promised economic growth, repair tattered public services and ease the cost of living, and been hamstrung by repeated missteps and policy U-turns on issues including welfare reform. He has been further hurt by his disastrous decision to appoint Peter Mandelson, a scandal-tarnished friend of Jeffrey Epstein, as Britain's ambassador to Washington.
Last week's elections saw Labour squeezed from both right and left, losing votes to both the anti-immigration Reform UK and the "eco-populist" Green Party.它反映了长期由工党和保守党主导的英国政治日益分裂。
尽管如此,斯塔默周日告诉《观察家报》,他希望继续留任十年。 He's pinning his hopes on Monday's speech and an ambitious set of legislative plans to be set out in a speech Wednesday by King Charles III at the State Opening of Parliament.
