The first few days at 10 Downing Street were a blur of briefings, cabinet appointments, and urgent policy decisions. Starmer inherited a country facing a multitude of problems, from an economy struggling with inflation to a public sector that was crying out for reform. His immediate priority was to establish a professional, efficient tone in government. He tasked his ministers with hitting the ground running, demanding that every policy be evidence-based and clearly linked to the goals he had set out during the campaign. The focus was on moving from opposition to delivery, showing the public that change was actually happening.
