One period within an ongoing mandate
The Starmer premiership
How the country's key numbers moved while Keir Starmer was Prime Minister, from 5 July 2024 to 19 July 2026. Each indicator shows the reading at the start against the latest available, with a link to the official source behind it. Nothing is coloured "good" or "bad". Direction and context are shown, and the judgement is left to you.
Voters elect a parliament and a party, not a Prime Minister, so a governing party may change leader mid mandate without an election. Manifesto pledges are measured against the whole mandate. Why this distinction matters.
