Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer said his party was not complacent ahead of the general election expected next year.
Sir Keir Starmer announced a £1.5 billion plan to tackle NHS waiting lists but urged the party not to become “giddy” at the prospect of power, ahead of the general election.
“So you won’t get razzmatazz. You won’t see mistakes that have been made in the past by opposition parties.” “I think everybody knows someone who’s on the NHS waiting list. And I’m certainly not immune from that. This is a period of high anxiety for individuals – huge personal discomfort in many cases,” he said.
“We need change. He can’t be that change, he’s been the nodding dog as chancellor nodding through all the decisions he now says were so terrible they’ve got to change them.”– Labour will issue a new membership card, with a commitment to “putting the country first” in what aides said was a sign that Sir Keir was leading a “proudly patriotic party”.
His deputy leader Angela Rayner will open proceedings on the conference main stage and has said Labour is “certainly not taking anything for granted” despite the “seismic” win in the Rutherglen contest.
