He expressed appreciation for the efforts of Christians worldwide to bring communities together and build more resilient societies.

He also pointed to the uncertainties caused by global events and the pressure of the cost of living on families and communities, expressing his goal of building a stronger United Kingdom for all in cooperation with churches and communities across the country.

Starmer concluded his message by stating, “Supporting people and easing the pressure of the cost of living are among my priorities,” calling for unity and solidarity on the occasion of Easter.
