Starmer talks about being knighted at Buckingham Palace as he promotes "family values" – leaning into 'Sir Keir'

Sounding less conciliatory on government handling of Covid as he says "nothing inevitable about a second lockdown" – and links the pandemic to how "family really does come first"

On Brexit, Starmer says Labour is "not going to bang on about Europe" and "our country needs a deal"

'A New Leadership' message: "When you lose an election in a democracy, you deserve to... That means we have to change, and that’s what we’re doing. This is a party under new leadership."

"I can make this promise: never again will Labour go into an election not being trusted on national security, with your job, with your community and with your money."

"What we say at the next general election isn’t written yet. But it will be rooted in Labour values. It won’t sound like anything you’ve heard before. It will sound like the future arriving." – good to hear focus on future despite appeal to conservatism

"Our care workers are heroes. But the social care system in Britain is a disgrace to a rich nation."

"Where every policy is judged not just by how much it costs today but also by what it does for the planet tomorrow." Wouldn't say this exactly aligns with Labour's current messaging on the economy.
