GB News star Bev Turner has launched a scathing attack on Prime Minister Keir Starmer's new "plan for change", claiming it primarily serves global interests at the expense of British businesses.

Speaking on the People's Channel, Bev accused the Prime Minister of "stacking the deck financially and economically for massive, multinational corporations".



Her criticism comes as Starmer prepares to deliver what has been billed as a major reset speech, following what polls suggest has been a challenging first five months in office.

Bev claimed the Prime Minister's approach is focused on "glad-handing the globalists" rather than supporting domestic enterprise.

She specifically highlighted the lack of support for local tradespeople in Starmer's proposals.

"There's nothing in this for a decorator in Reading or a mechanic in Bolton," she said during her GB News appearance.

The broadcaster accused the Prime Minister of prioritising green policies over practical support for small businesses.

Her comments come as Starmer prepares to outline his government's milestones for achieving five key missions laid out in Labour's election manifesto.

The targets are expected to focus on living standards, infrastructure, healthcare, policing, education and energy policy.

In his speech, the PM is set to emphasise his government's "relentless focus on delivering for working people".

The Prime Minister will outline what Downing Street describes as ambitious yet achievable milestones to improve people's lives across the country.

"We were elected with a mandate of change," Starmer said ahead of the address.

The speech comes amid concerns among senior Labour officials about the government's ability to explain its objectives to the public.

Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch has already dismissed the speech as an "emergency reset" after what she characterised as a difficult five months in power.

Among the key pledges in Starmer's plan is a guarantee of a named, contactable police officer for every neighbourhood in England and Wales.

Labour has committed to recruiting 13,000 police officers, PCSOs and special constables by the next election.



The Home Office has allocated £100 million for approximately 1,200 new police officers next year, according to Home Secretary Yvette Cooper.

However, Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp has challenged these figures, claiming "Starmer has misled the public" about recruitment numbers.

The Prime Minister's broader targets focus on achieving the "highest sustained growth" in the G7 and making Britain a "clean energy superpower".
