Sir Keir Starmer will vow on Thursday that he will transform public services by taking over the “weekend industry and blocker” and embraced Ai to drive through efficiency, although Downing Street insisted that he would not take over the “chainsaw” to the state.
The Prime Minister wants to reduce the number of regulators and will claim that the country needs an agile state where “every kilogram is spent, every regulation, each decision must be submitted for working people.”
But Starmer does not set a goal for cutting the number of civil service and has so far identified only one of about 130 regulators he intends to be assaulted.
Conservatives claim that the Prime Minister also founded or promised more than 25 new Quangos and working groups since arriving to duty, including a new football regulator and a value office for money whose own efficiency The MPs questioned.
However, an oldmer will insist that there is a revolution. Tuesday was the two best British financial services regulators Axed plans In order to impose stricter rules for diversity and involvement, as ministers push them to remove obstacles to grow.
Downing Street also pointed out plans to get rid of the regulator of the payment systems, which oversee the main networks of payment in the UK, connecting most of its activities with the Financial Services Directorate.
PSR was a simple goal for Starmer, given that he was already closely integrated with FCA, with which he shares headquarters, IT systems, staff contacts and more leadership.
Starmer wrote to all ministers who begged them to find other wonders to connect or abolish, although one Whitehall the official said: “It has shown harder than he thought.”
Downing Street insisted that he wanted a nimbler state, not Elon’s musk cleansing the current appliances. “There is no approach where we take a chainsaw to the system,” said Starmer spokesman, compared to President Javier Mileja in Argentina and Musk who had both chainsaws to illustrate their zealous cost reduction.
Starmer will say in a speech in Yorkshire that he is “determined in exploiting” the possibilities created by AI, adding: “If we start forward with the digitization of government services, there is up to the £ 45 billion austerity and productivity advantage, ready for realization.”
He will announce a new scheme of “Techtrack” appointment to bring 2,000 digital experts to the public sector department until 2030, and will promise that one of 10 civil servants will work in digital roles within five years.
Last weekend, Pat McFadden, Minister of the Cabinet Office, caused concern in Whitehall when he said that parts of the civil service “” will be able to become smaller “and that he will create incentives to remove weak officials from their job.
Starmer then wrote to civil servants To convince them, they are appreciated and “strengthened” by reforms. In December, Starmer had to calm Whitehall after saying that too much officials were comfortable “in a blurry bath of the managed crash.”
Prime Minister’s allies say Starmer is passionate about the state reform. “What bothers Keir is a growing gap between politicians and the public,” one said. “We need to close that gap and ensure that populist right does not fulfill it.”
The ally said that previous conservative ministers created Quangos to avoid making themselves difficult decisions, adding: “Keir’s opinion is that if you want to be a minister, you should take a responsibility that comes with the role.”
