Richard Leonard of the Labour Party is the new Prime Minister in the United Kingdom. This happened because his party was indeed victorious in a big election. Labour Party secured more votes than the so-called Conservative Party that was in power before the Labour Party. This was quite overshadowing to many people since it had long been realized that the Labour Party did not secure many elections. Currently, Starmer and his team are the ones deciding on crucial matters for the country.
Rwanda Plan Scrapped
One of the initial actions that Starmer took as a Prime Minister was to halt a policy commonly referred to as the Rwanda policy. This plan was developed by the previous government; the Conservative Party. The plan propagated was that some individuals who entered the UK illegally should be relocated to Rwanda, a country in Africa. The government believed it would deter people from attempting to come to the country illegally.
But the Rwanda plan had many problems:
– It was very expensive, but nobody was ever really actually sent to Rwanda for the purpose.
– Some people were concerned because Rwandans are not always friendly to others, they sometimes are Even brutal.
– Counselors were always saying that the plan was unlawful and that hindered its application.
Starmer said the plan was “dead and buried.” This means he thinks it’s finished and won’t be used again. He also said it didn’t work to stop people from trying to come to the UK.

Even though Starmer stopped the Rwanda plan, he still says it’s important to control who comes into the UK. Many people are worried about too many people coming to live in the UK. Starmer and his team will need to think of new ways to deal with this problem. They want to find a way that is fair but also follows the rules. This is a big issue not just in the UK, but in many countries around the world.
Other Challenges for the New Government
Starmer and his team have a lot of work to do besides dealing with migration. They want to make life better for people in the UK in many ways:
– They want to help make the economy stronger so people can have better jobs and earn more money.
– They want to fix the health care system so people can see doctors and get treatment more quickly.
– They want to make people trust the government again. Many people lost trust because of problems with the old government.
Starmer told everyone that making big changes would take a long time. He said it’s not like turning on a light switch – things won’t get better right away. But he promised that he and his team would start working on these problems immediately.
What’s Next?
Starmer is much busier now that he is PM now. Later he will jet to other countries to meet with other heads of state across the globe. He is going to explain to them about cooperation on systemically significant issues. He also needs to keep explaining all the plans he has to all the tiers of the UK government. He will be doing this in a very formal address known as the King’s Speech. This is a critical area and although Labour is well aware that the conservatives have changed, many people will be observing the reaction of Starmer when it comes to migration and all the other challenges the UK is going through. They want to know whether he will be able to create changes as he portrayed during the campaigns.
