Keir Starmer Targets NHS England and Welfare in Sweeping Reforms

The UK Prime Minister moves to centralize power, cut bureaucracy, and pivot Labour policies to the right, drawing inspiration from U.S. governance strategies.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced the abolition of NHS England, marking the most significant restructuring of the UK healthcare system in two decades.
Labour's new approach, dubbed 'Project Chainsaw,' includes welfare cuts and a reduction in foreign aid to fund increased defense spending, sparking internal party tensions.
Starmer's government is focusing on dismantling bureaucratic barriers, with plans to eliminate additional regulatory bodies and streamline governance for faster policy implementation.
The reforms have drawn comparisons to Donald Trump’s rapid administrative changes, with Starmer reportedly inspired by the speed and decisiveness of U.S. policy shifts.
Critics argue that centralizing control may lead to inefficiencies and political micromanagement, while supporters see it as an effort to increase accountability and deliver on promises.
