PM says he will bring 'positive change' and 'new hope' for 2026

Sir Keir Starmer says the government will "defeat the decline and division offered by others" by "staying the course" with its efforts to improve public services and the cost of living. In his New Year message, the PM said life was still "harder than it should be" for many Britons but promised more people will begin to feel "a sense of hope" in the coming months. The message follows a difficult year for Sir Keir, with slow economic growth and media reports of a potential leadership challenge. #labour #keirstarmer #news #uk #skynews #politics Live updates: https://news.sky.com/story/new-year-latest-countdown-is-on-as-countries-around-the-world-prepare-to-welcome-2026-13455824 SUBSCRIBE to our YouTube channel for more videos: http://www.youtube.com/skynews Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/skynews Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/skynews Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/skynews Follow us on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@skynews Sky News Daily podcast is available for free here: https://podfollow.com/skynewsdaily/ For more content go to http://news.sky.com and download our apps: Apple https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/sky-news/id316391924?mt=8 Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.skynews.android&hl=en_GB To enquire about licensing Sky News content, you can find more information here: https://news.sky.com/info/library-sales
