Reflecting on the PM’s powerful speech: we now have a path forward on Britain’s great challenges – social care, the erosion of public control over the basics of life, and the damage from Brexit. Equally important is the unifying sense of what we’re fighting for: hope again. 👇
In 1945, Labour built the common good. We had the bravery to make change. We've done it before and we'll do it again.

Climate change is already affecting our communities. We cannot afford to treat it as a political game. We have responsibility to protect the places we call home and build a safer, better future for the next generation. Net Zero isn’t an ambition we can put on hold. It’s essential. Britain has shown what climate leadership can look like. We must keep moving forward - not let political infighting stand in the way of the progress our communities and our planet depend on. This Labour government will protect our communities and protect our future.

‘I remember seeing Tony Blair speak, Andy Burnham might be better.’ Andrew Marr was blown away by the Prime Minister’s Labour Party Conference speech.

Andy Burnham said he will set the UK in a "new direction" a decade on from Brexit. The prime minister has arrived in Liverpool for the Labour conference, which will run from Sunday to Wednesday. 🔗 trib.al/3mNpHCm

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said he will set out a “new direction” for the UK because the decade since Brexit had seen “too much drift, too much division”, as he arrived at his first Labour conference as party leader.
