1
Can politics become a force for good again?
2
In his first address as Prime Minister in 2024, Keir Starmer stands outside Buckingham Palace to pledge a government of service and national renewal.
3
Stay until the end to hear his powerful vision for rebuilding Britain brick by brick and the promise of unity.
4
Good afternoon.
5
I have just returned from Buckingham Palace,
6
where I accepted an invitation from His Majesty the King to form the next government of this great nation.
7
I want to thank the outgoing Prime Minister Rishi Sunak.
8
His achievement as the first British Asian Prime Minister of our country,
9
the extra effort that that will have required should not be underestimated by anyone.
10
We pay tribute to that today.
11
And we also recognise the dedication and hard work he brought to his leadership.
12
But now our country has voted decisively for change,
13
for national renewal and a return of politics to public service.
14
When the gap between the sacrifices made by people and the service they receive from politicians grows this big,
15
it leads to a weariness in the heart of a nation.
16
A draining away of the hope, the spirit, the belief in a better future.
17
That we need to move forward together.
18
Now, this wound, this lack of trust, can only be healed by actions, not words.
19
I know that.
20
But we can make a start today with the simple acknowledgement
21
that public service is a privilege and that your government should treat every single person in this country with respect.
22
If you voted Labour yesterday, we will carry the responsibility of your trust as we rebuild our country.
23
But whether you voted Labour or not, in fact, especially if you did not, I say to you directly,
24
my government will serve you.
25
Politics can be a force for good.
26
We will show that.
27
We've changed the Labour Party, returned it to service, and that is how we will govern.
28
Country first, party second.
29
Yet, if I'm honest, service is merely a precondition of hope.
30
And it is surely clear to everyone that our country needs a bigger reset, a rediscovery of who we are
31
because no matter how fierce the storms of history one of
32
the great strengths of this nation has always been our ability to navigate away to calmer waters
33
and yet this depends upon politicians particularly those who stand for stability and moderation as i do
34
recognizing when we must change course.
35
for too long now we've turned a blind eye as millions slid into greater insecurity.
36
Nurses, builders, drivers, carers, people doing the right thing,
37
working harder every day, recognised at moments like this before,
38
yet as soon as the cameras stop rolling their lives are ignored.
39
I want to say very clearly to those people not this time.
40
Changing a country is not like flicking a switch.
41
The world is now a more volatile place.
42
This will take a while but have no doubt that the work of change begins immediately.
43
have no doubt that we will rebuild Britain with wealth created in every community.
44
Our NHS back on its feet facing the future.
45
Secure borders, safer streets, everyone treated with dignity and respect at work.
46
The opportunity of clean British power, cutting your energy bills for good.
47
And brick by brick, we will rebuild the infrastructure of opportunity.
48
The world-class schools and colleges, the affordable homes that I know are the ingredients of hope for working people.
49
The security that working-class families like mine can build their lives around.
50
because if I asked you now whether you believe that Britain will be better for your children,
51
I know too many of you would say no. And so my government will fight every day until you believe again.
52
From now on, you have a government unburdened by doctrine, guided only by the determination to serve your interest,
53
to defy quietly those who have written our country off.
54
You have given us a clear mandate, and we will use it to deliver change, to restore service and respect to politics,
55
end the era of noisy performance, tread more lightly on your lives and unite our country.
56
Four nations standing together again, facing down, as we have so often in our past,
57
the challenges of an insecure world committed to a calm and patient rebuilding.
58
So, with respect and humility,
59
I invite you all to join this government of service in the mission of national renewal.
60
Our work is urgent and we begin it today.
61
Thank you very much.
62
you

シャドーイングとは?英語上達に効果的な理由

シャドーイング(Shadowing)は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的:ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影(shadow)」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
