Sir Keir Starmer will address the nation in his closing speech at the Labour conference, emphasizing the critical juncture at which Britain finds itself. He will present a choice between decency and division, renewal and decline, and being in control of the future versus succumbing to the «politics of grievance.» In what is described as a test for the country, Sir Keir will assert that the path to renewal is challenging and requires difficult decisions, even if they may not always align with the comfort of his party.
The Labour leader envisions a new country at the end of this arduous journey, one characterized by fairness, dignity, and respect. He pledges to ensure that everyone is valued, wealth is generated across all communities, and working people have authority over public services. Sir Keir aims to eliminate the bureaucratic barriers stifling enterprise to foster continuous growth and development.
Despite skepticism from some quarters, Sir Keir believes in the possibility of uniting Britain around a common purpose for the greater good. He envisions an end to decline, a reform of public services, and economic growth from the grassroots level. The Labour conference has seen a sharpening of rhetoric and policies in response to Reform, which has been leading in recent polls. The latest Ipsos poll showed a tight race between Labour led by Sir Keir and Reform led by Nigel Farage.
Before Sir Keir’s final address, other cabinet members, including Northern Ireland Secretary Hilary Benn, Transport Secretary Heidi Alexander, Yorkshire Mayor Tracy Brabin, and Health Secretary Wes Streeting, will also speak at the conference. Chancellor Rachel Reeves previously warned about the threat Reform poses to the British economy during her speech on the main stage.
The Labour conference has been marked by a sense of urgency and determination as the party seeks to position itself against Reform and present a compelling vision for the future of the country. With the stakes high and the choices clear, Sir Keir Starmer and his team are rallying support for their vision of a fairer, more prosperous Britain.
