Sir Keir Starmer ’s speech on Thursday was designed to offer more clarity for a sceptical public.

But the speech had a secondary aim: galvanising Whitehall, after he accused too many civil servants of being "comfortable in the tepid bath of managed decline".

Prime Minister will seek to drive agenda via stock takes’ meetings to hold those responsible for each mission accountable.

These meetings are meetings where Sir Keir holds them accountable for what data is showing in their area.

The idea was pioneered by Sir Tony Blair on the advice of Michael Barber , his delivery adviser.
