The Prime Minister, speaking to local Labour members, said: “We’ve made some big calls, to stabilise our public finances, to invest in our public services, not to get dragged into a war in Iran.
“But we’ve also made unnecessary mistakes, one of which was that although we were right to level with the public about the scale and depth of the challenges we face, we didn’t do enough to convince them that things will get better, that things will improve, the hope.
“And that is why in the coming days I’m going to set out the steps that we will take to deliver the change that they want and that they deserve.”
