On the 5th July we elected a new Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer, leader of the Labour party and the first time since 2010 that the Labour party have been in power of the government. It was a landslide victory showing Rishi Sunak and the Conservative party that the country have had enough and we hope that at least some of the promises in Labour’s manifesto will be honoured. Only time will tell!
