Sir Keir Starmer is in Germany as he looks to begin a reset on diplomacy with Europe following Brexit. The tour comes after he laid out a grim fiscal overview of the UK - with tax rises and spending cuts looking likely this autumn.
Cast your mind back to the heady days of early July, as a beaming Sir Keir Starmer swept into Downing Street to a cheering crowd and the promise of 'change'.Britain's seventh ever Labour prime minister had won a landslide that deservedly drew parallels between himself and the party's most successful election winner, Tony Blair.Yet on Tuesday, just over 50 days on from that moment, Sir Keir was very clear that the ballot box victory was where the parallel ends.
In his first major Downing Street speech, this prime minister was clear that in his Britain 'things can only get worse - for now'.Armed with a new slogan across the lectern - 'fixing the foundations' - Sir Keir set out the parlous state of the public finances, the dangerous populism that had flourished under the Tories and corroded our communities, triggering the recent riots, and the erosion of trust between government and the governed.
