British Prime Minister Keir Starmer made a pledge to tackle the cost-of-living crisis as a “priority” for the government in his Christmas message on Thursday.
The message, which comes at the end of a difficult year of tax rises and sluggish economic growth for the Labour Party government, also called on the public to spread festive cheer across their communities.
"I know many across Britain are still struggling with the cost of living. Helping with that is my priority,” said Starmer, in his message recorded inside 10 Downing Street earlier.
