Keir Starmer to review Labour’s ‘five missions’ after 100 disastrous days

Mission boards are also expected to seek knowledge from around the country on how to achieve their goals.

Hospital executives with good results will be chosen and brought in to help with the mission to ‘fix the NHS’.

Similarly, local crime prevention projects deemed to have made streets safer will be drafted by the board with a “crime reduction” mission, according to the plans.

“It will be a clear and realistic plan of what we will do,” said a government figure. “There’s a sense that if you try to do everything, you end up doing nothing,” they said.

The “dissemination opportunities” board has been cited as an example of a mission whose outcomes are currently difficult to measure, compared to the clear outcomes required by the energy board it is tasked with delivering Net Zero by 2030.

The Prime Minister will oversee mission councils with separate periodic “stocks” in each of the five areas.

“The prime minister has started taking stock of individual missions. He will go in and do a deep dive into one of the mission areas and see how it goes,” the source said.

The first of these “inventories” took place last week when the Prime Minister met members of the board of the “Clean Energy Superpower” mission, which is chaired by Ed Miliband, the energy secretary.

Although the missions are linked to the prime minister’s goal of a “decade of national renewal”, there is a desire for tangible results before the next general election.
