These priorities are part of a concerted effort to demonstrate leadership and commitment to pressing issues by the next election in 2029.
Among the outlined goals are initiatives to raise real household disposable income across the UK, recruit an additional 13,000 police officers, and ensure 75% of children are prepared for school entry.
