Starmer bests his conference critics but path ahead still looks perilous
PM made long-awaited rallying call against Reform threat, but many in Labour still fear his shortcomings will produce a public challenge
With Labour party delegates waving the flags of the UK nations during Keir Starmer’s conference speech, the beleaguered prime minister was reassured that his paean to patriotism had hit the spot.
Downing Street insiders say his address had been locked down for three weeks, avoiding the usual last-minute rewrites and adjustments, as he was so clear in his mind of the argument he wanted to make. Aides had met in Chequers at the beginning of the summer to find Starmer had reams of notes on his vision of how to address the rising tide of nationalism.
