The prime minister addressed several milestones during his speech at Pinewood Studios, including raising living standards, ending hospital backlogs and putting more police on the beat.
Sir Keir promised a named, contactable police officer for every neighbourhood in England and Wales, who will be focused on dealing with local issues.
The prime minister described the move as “a relief to millions of people scared to walk the streets they call home”, and promised a range of policing reforms to improve performance alongside £100m to support neighbourhood policing.
In a speech billed as setting out the “next phase” of his government, the PM detailed ambitious “milestones” for achieving the five missions laid out in Labour’s manifesto.
