The Prime Minister used his first new year’s message since entering Downing Street to reflect on a “year of change” in 2024.
He added his Labour administration has begun the “work of change” since winning the general election in July and pointed to an increase in the minimum wage, clean energy projects and NHS investment as examples.
In a video message, Sir Keir said: “I know there is still so much more to do and that for many people it’s hard to think about the future when you spend all of your time fighting to get through the week.
“A fight for change that will define this year, next year and, indeed, every waking hour of this Government.
“That is what we will be focusing on. A year of rebuilding, but also rediscovering the great nation that we are.

“But that victory – and indeed the peace and the prosperity that followed – all rested on that same foundation we must rebuild today.
“So, wherever and however you’re celebrating tonight, on behalf of the Government, happy new year.
Sir Keir faces a challenging year at home and abroad as he bids to implement his programme for government following Labour’s landslide election victory.
The results of a spending review will follow this year, with Ms Reeves ordering departments to find 5% savings.
Ministers will also hope for an improved economic outlook as they aim to deliver on the plan for growth.
Sir Keir will also seek to reset the UK’s relationship with the European Union, continue support for Ukraine and handle the return of US President-elect Donald Trump to the White House.
She added: “The Conservative Party is also going through a period of change. This process of renewal will be a long-term project.
“Things may be bumpy along the way but the party I now lead is going to do things differently.”Additional reporting by Press Association.
