From Opposition to Government: Starmer's Transition
Having spent years preparing for this moment, Starmer's transition from Labour leader to Prime Minister has been remarkably smooth. His team had contingency plans in place for this exact scenario, allowing for immediate action rather than the traditional period of adjustment that often follows a change in government.
"The speed of this transition demonstrates Starmer's determination to hit the ground running," observed one Westminster insider. "He's clearly been planning this moment for months, if not years."

With his cabinet now taking shape, the Prime Minister faces the enormous task of delivering on Labour's election promises while navigating the complex challenges facing the country. The coming days will reveal more about his governing style and the specific policies that will define his premiership.
