Yahoo UK’s poll of the week lets you vote and indicate your strength of feeling on one of the week’s hot topics. After 72 hours the poll closes and, each Friday, we’ll publish and analyse the results, giving readers the chance to see how polarising a topic has become and if their view chimes with other Yahoo UK readers.

Parliament returns on Tuesday with Labour ministers on the government frontbench for the first time in 14 years.

After Sir Keir Starmer led the party to a resounding victory in last week’s general election, the new prime minister listed some of his priorities for the next five years in office.

While warning in his first Downing Street speech that “changing a country is not like flicking a switch”, he said “the work of change begins immediately”.

Starmer said: “Have no doubt that we will rebuild Britain with wealth created in every community.

“Our NHS back on its feet facing the future.

“Secure borders, safer streets, everyone treated with dignity and respect at work.

“The opportunity of clean British power, cutting your energy bills for good.

“And brick by brick we will rebuild the infrastructure of opportunity. The world class schools and colleges, the affordable homes that I know are the ingredients of hope for working people.”

But what do you think Starmer should prioritise? And are you confident the UK will be in a better place in 2029, by which time the next general electon must take place? Have your say here…
