Keir Starmer claimed the 'tide is turning' for Labour today as he gives potentially his last conference speech before an election.

Sir Keir insisted he is the leader to 'heal' the country - but warned it will require a 'decade of national renewal'.

He is also warning activists in the packed hall in Liverpool against complacency, despite the latest poll showing the party in an 16 point lead.

Worryingly for the Tories, their standing has actually gone backwards since Rishi Sunak wrapped up their conference last week.

The address at 2pm is expected to be an 'emotional appeal' to the country, rather than laden with new policies - as Labour is still keeping its powder dry until closer to an election.
