Prime Minister Keir Starmer gave a rousing speech today at Labour Party Conference 2024, which not only reaffirmed the government’s vision for the future but introduced new policy strategies as part of the UK’s growth strategy.

Richard Beresford, Chief Executive of the National Federation of Builders (NFB), said: “Starmer reaffirmed the country first, party second message and proved that Britain still has politicians that believe in governing with conviction.

“It was particularly pleasing to hear planning reform remain a key plank of the Government’s strategy.

Promises to house veterans and the homeless, create planning passports for inner cities, and introduce new foundation apprenticeships all example the Government is listening to the people and industry, and this gives them the best chance to enable and more importantly sustain growth.”
