Since July, Labour has been buffeted by rows over freebies, No10 infighting, the Budget, and last week saw Transport Secretary Louise Haigh resign.

Cabinet Minister Pat McFadden yesterday admitted having to deal with “things that would cause a lot of heat”.

But he said the focus was fleshing out the five “missions” of economic growth, the NHS, cutting crime, green energy and creating opportunity.

The Prime Minister expressed that the focus for the current week is about introducing a strategy for change in the coming years, with the aim of communicating to the public the main priorities in these specific areas.

In an article for the Sun On Sunday, the PM highlighted that the purpose of this Government is to depart from chaos, austerity, and decline, opting instead for stability, investment, and reform.

He further mentioned the positive outcomes observed so far, such as a Budget that has allocated significant funds for the NHS, prevented severe austerity measures in public services, and safeguarded the wages of employed individuals.

“And we’ve gone further. We’ve raised the National Living Wage, handing an extra £1,400 each to millions of hard-working people.

“We’ve attracted £63billion of investment into Britain.

“We’ve launched our Border Security Command to smash the people-smuggling gangs.

“We’re reforming the skills system so businesses can recruit the highly trained workers they need.

“We’re knuckling down, but there’s more to do.”
