Under his leadership, the Labor leader will declare that the party will lead Britain “out of this perpetual cycle of catastrophe with a clean slate, a new set of goals, and a new approach to governing.”
Sir Keir Starmer will assert in his keynote conference address that a “transformed” Labor can transform the United Kingdom into a “growth powerhouse,” as a new poll gives the party its highest lead over the Conservatives in more than two decades.
On Tuesday, the Labor leader will tell party delegates in Liverpool that Labor’s Green Prosperity Plan will create a million new jobs in towns and cities throughout the country, as well as reduce energy costs and boost living standards.
After 12 years in power, he will declare that Labor is now “the party of the center” and prepared to form the next government under his leadership.

Sir Keir will pledge to “battle the Tories on economic growth” with “ambitious” and “realistic” policies for employment, skills, and addressing the climate catastrophe in his leader’s address at the party’s annual conference.
Labor is now 17 points ahead of Liz Truss’s party, the highest margin over the Conservatives since Tony Blair’s landslide victory in 2001, according to a new YouGov survey released on Monday night.
The survey also finds broad opposition to Chancellor Kwasi Kwarteng’s tax-cutting mini-budget, with 72% of voters opposing the move to scrap the 45% rate of tax for people earning more than £150,000, including 69% of those who supported the Conservatives in 2019.
It is time for Britain to stand tall once more.
The encouraging poll for Labor comes as Sir Keir prepares to pledge to launch his growth initiative within the first 100 days of becoming prime minister.
Sir Keir will add, “We will need a new way of working – the largest cooperation between government, business, and communities this country has ever seen.
Sir Keir will compare Labor’s growth strategy to the Conservative Party’s “chaotic” mini-budget.
The Labour leader will assert that his party is the party of “sound money” and reaffirm his promise to establish an Office for Value for Money to ensure that taxpayer funds are spent in the national interest.
“What the government has done in the previous few days is unprecedented. Why have they surrendered control of the British economy? For tax cuts for the wealthiest 1% in our society “Sir Keir will comment.
He will say that “Britain must once again stand tall.”
It is unknown how long Sir Keir’s keynote address will take, but he talked for approximately 90 minutes last year.
It is anticipated that he will praise the reforms his party has taken to become more centrist under Jeremy Corbyn’s reign, as evidenced by the singing of the national anthem at the beginning of the conference.
During his speech, Sir Keir will describe his party as the “political wing of the British people” – a direct reference to the former Labor prime minister, Mr. Blair.
Shadow chancellor Rachel Reeves stated on the second day of Labor’s conference that the government is endangering the economy and criticized Ms. Truss’ concept of “trickle-down economics” after the pound hit a record low versus the dollar.
According to a new YouGov poll, 72 percent of people lack trust in the prime minister’s efforts to combat the growing cost of living.
Ms. Reeves promised a new accord with stronger rights for working people, stating that the “minimum wage will be determined at a level that reflects the actual cost of living.”
She noted that Labor would prioritize tripling the number of medical schools and district nurse positions, as well as creating 10,000 additional nursing and midwife positions annually.
The Labor Party’s conference will finish on Wednesday, followed by the Conservative Party’s event in Birmingham the following week.
