Keir Starmer boasted that Labour is 'in the right place' to win power today after his big conference speech.

A bullish Sir Keir pointed to striking by-election wins in Selby and Rutherglen as he dismissed criticism that voters still do not know where he stands.

In a round of interviews as the gathering in Liverpool wraps up, the leader also dodged committing to quit if does not deliver on a pledge to build 1.5million new homes.

Sir Keir denied that the policy - which would involve scrapping protections for parts of the green belt - was 'wishful thinking'.
