UK Labour Party leader Keir Starmer has become Britain's new prime minister after meeting King Charles at Buckingham Palace, according to DW. Labour leader Keir Starmer has addressed the nation from 10 Downing Street, saying the politics can be "a force for good."
"Now our country has voted decisively for change, for national renewal and a return of politics to public service."
"When the gap between the sacrifices made by people and the service they receive from politicians grows this big it leads to a weariness in the heart of a nation. A draining away of the hope, the spirit, the belief, in a better future," adding: "We need to move forward together."
"This wound, this lack of trust, can only be healed by actions, not words. I know that. But we can make a start today with the simple acknowledgment that public service is a privilege and that your government should treat every single person in this country with respect."
"If you voted Labour yesterday, we will carry the responsibility of your trust as we rebuild our country. But whether you voted Labour or not, especially if you did not, I say to you directly — my government will serve you. Politics can be a force for good."
Starmer opened his speech by paying tribute to his predecessor, Rishi Sunak, as the UK's first British Asian Prime Minister.
"The extra effort that that would have required should not be underestimated by anyone."
Starmer was speaking after arriving in Downing Street from a meeting with King Charles at Buckingham Palace where he was invited to form a government.
After the speech, Starmer and wife Victoria posed before the famous front door of Number 10 Downing Street before being clapped into the hallway of the building by staff.
