Sir Keir Starmer's Vision

Sir Keir Starmer, the leader of the Labour Party, is set to rebrand the party as the party of 'service and country' as he sets his sights on ten years in power. In his speech at the Labour conference, he will declare that people are looking to Labour to build a new Britain.

A Decade of National Renewal

Sir Keir will ask voters to let him lead a "decade of national renewal" following next year's expected election. Promising a "big build" for the country, he emphasizes that what is broken can be repaired and what is ruined can be rebuilt.

A Shift from Gesture Politics

Sir Keir will distance the Labour Party from the Jeremy Corbyn era, stating that it is time for voters to see "a changed Labour Party, no longer in thrall to gesture politics, no longer a party of protest." He claims that Labour is now "a party of service... country first, party second."

New Approach to Politics

Challenging the Tories' 13 years in power, Sir Keir promises "a Britain strong enough, stable enough, secure enough for you to invest your hope, your possibility, your future." He vows that things will be better for future generations and that a Labour victory would provide a chance for "national renewal."

Addressing the Big Question

Despite the Labour Party's double-digit lead in the polls, Sir Keir's speech aims to address the question of why voters should choose Labour over the Tories. He highlights Labour's recent win in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election in Scotland as evidence of a turning tide.

A Government that Takes Care of Working People

Sir Keir takes aim at Prime Minister Rishi Sunak's conference address, where he positioned himself as a candidate for change. The Labour leader promises a government that "takes care of the big questions" so that working people have the freedom to enjoy their lives.

Economy and Tax

While resisting further tax rises, Sir Keir emphasizes that politics should tread lightly on people's lives. He believes that the government should shoulder the burden for working people instead of adding to it.

Preparation for an Election

Sir Keir insists that his election machine will be ready for a May poll and that he will not be caught off guard if Prime Minister Sunak calls a snap election. The Shadow Cabinet minister Lisa Nandy even expresses confidence that Labour will go for more than two terms in power.

Poll Lead Narrows

Labour's poll lead over the Tories has narrowed to just 15 points, according to a recent Deltapoll survey conducted after Chancellor Sunak's conference speech in Manchester.
