TaxPayers’ Alliance responds to the prime minister's plan for change speech

Responding to Sir Keir Starmer's plan for change speech, John O'Connell, chief executive of the TaxPayers' Alliance, said:

“The prime minister's muddle of metaphors can't hide the fact that this is little more than a reheated version of previous speeches.

“Keir Starmer has correctly identified some of the core issues facing this country, including the lethargic nature of Whitehall. But rather than taking the difficult steps to solve them, he's delivering government by platitude.

“Instead of subjecting taxpayers to tedious monologues, he should focus on the reform and growth that they deserve.”
