Don't expect any new policies. There won't be any. Instead, Starmer is arguing he is taking on two opponents this year.

Firstly, as you would expect, the Conservatives.

And secondly, what he perceives to be a lethargy, a cynicism, an anti-politics mood, that leads many people to conclude no one can make a difference to the big challenges society faces.

Predictably, he will say that is not right, because he will claim he can.

He will say voters are "right to be anti-Westminster," but argue they will have a chance this year to "reject the pointless populist gestures and the low-road cynicism that the Tories believe is all you deserve".

Starmer will also attack the Conservatives' record in power - saying they have "nothing good to show" after 14 years in office, adding: "They can't change Britain, so they try to undermine the possibility of change itself".

In response, Conservative Party Chairman Richard Holden says Starmer is a "weather vane" who will tell the public "whatever he thinks they want to hear on any given day".

Almost everyone in Westminster, from politicians to politicos, are waiting for the next general election to get under way this year. But there is speculation as to when it will actually take place.

The rules , externalstate a general election must be held no later than 28 January 2025, as the latest date Parliament can dissolve is five years after the previous election.

The vote is not exactly five years to the day from the last one held on 17 December 2019 - as the rules allow for the time required to run an election campaign.

The ability to request a dissolution of Parliament and call an election, lies with the prime minister. This means that Rishi Sunak could announce an election at any time he chooses in 2024.

So only time will tell what Westminster has in store.

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer will again set out his stall for the general election and his aims for the country.

His plan is to outline the difficulties the UK has faced throughout the pandemic, Brexit and the cost of living crisis, specifically referring to their impact on working people.

He will also express hope people will see a "commitment to service" in politics and the “power” of their concerns being respected.

The Labour leader is set to reassure working people that 2024 is their year, whether they are “serving our country, in scrubs or uniform“, adding that the opportunity to “shape our country’s future” rests in their hands.

He will also outline how his background as a human rights lawyer will inform his view that politics is an act of service, not a hobby.

On top of an appeal to working people, Starmer is due to make several references the Conservative Party’s nearly 14 years of power, argue they have "nothing good to show" and urge voters to choose Labour as a party of change.

An acknowledgement that the public’s trust in politics is low and degraded is also expected. But he will also argue voters have responsibility too, saying: "To change Britain, we must change ourselves."

Starmer will name 2024 as "a year of choice and a chance to change Britain”.

Good morning, Labour Leader Sir Keir Starmer is due to give a speech in Bristol at 10:00 GMT.

In just over 30 minutes, he will make a pitch to voters that his party represents the transformation Britain needs.

Starmer will sharply criticise what he sees as the negative culture in Westminster under more than a decade of Conservative rule, telling voters they are right to feel aggrieved by politics.

But he is also set to say the “future is in the hands” of working people, and argue that this upcoming general election year is a “year of choice” and a chance for change.
