Keir Starmer to say Labour will need at least 10 years in power to 'heal' Britain in the Labour leader's keynote speech at the party's conference

Sir Keir Starmer will tomorrow declare that Labour needs at least ten years in power to ‘heal’ Britain.

In a sign of Labour’s growing confidence it will win the next election, Sir Keir will use his keynote speech at the party’s conference to set out plans for a ‘decade of national renewal’.

Labour high command has warned shadow ministers against complacency at the party’s annual gathering in Liverpool this week, despite holding a double-digit poll lead over the Conservatives for more than a year.

But Sir Keir’s comments tomorrow suggest he believes he is now on course to hold power until the mid-2030s.
