UK’s next PM Starmer's early challenges: US ties, EU trade, NHS strikes

Navigating US Ties

Starmer aims to maintain strong UK-US relations, regardless of the US president, reflecting the importance of this long-standing partnership.

Easing EU Trade

Starmer rules out rejoining the EU but seeks to reduce trade barriers, aiding small businesses and farmers with smoother transactions.

Support for Ukraine

Labour pledges continued military, financial, and diplomatic support for Ukraine, reinforcing the UK's commitment to Ukrainian stability and defence.

Palestinian State

Starmer supports recognising a Palestinian state, contingent on a conducive peace process aimed at a two-state solution with Israel.

Strategic China Policy

Labour plans a strategic approach to China, addressing cyberattacks and espionage while seeking long-term stability in relations.

Steel Industry Support

The government must finalise a £500 million support package for Tata Steel, crucial for transitioning to lower-carbon production and mitigating job losses.

Sewage Pollution Crisis

The new administration faces the challenge of regulating water companies, balancing infrastructure improvements with preventing bill hikes amid sewage pollution issues.

Healthcare Strikes

Junior doctors demand a 35% pay rise, with ongoing strikes highlighting the strain on the NHS. Labour intends to negotiate to end these disputes.

Royal Mail Scrutiny

Labour may reassess the acquisition of Royal Mail by Daniel Kretinsky, ensuring national security is prioritised and regulatory assurances are upheld.
