Sir Keir has arrived at the annual event buoyed by a sustained double-digit lead in the polls and a resounding by-election victory over the SNP in Scotland’s Rutherglen and Hamilton West seat.But the party leadership is cautious not to appear overconfident, with his deputy Angela Rayner also insisting it was “certainly not taking anything for granted” despite the “seismic” win north of the border.
