Giving the keynote address at the Labour conference, the prime minister attempted to dispel the recent months’ pessimism by promising his government will transform the nation, but he also cautioned that it would take time.
Daniel Riley, an 18-year-old protester, interrupted Sir Keir near the end of his address by yelling, “Children of Gaza.”
Resuming his address to applause, the prime minister took it in stride, saying, “This guy’s obviously got a pass from the 2019 conference [when Jeremy Corbyn was Labour leader].” We have shifted the party; in the midst of his protests.
He acknowledged in his speech that some people had lost faith in his party as a result of the policy and addressed concerns about reducing the winter fuel subsidy.
However, we can never again take the danger of exposing to the world—as the Tories did—that this nation lacks the necessary funding for its initiatives.
“This long-term plan’s first step is to stabilize our economy.
“The only way we keep prices low, cut NHS waiting lists, and secure the triple lock so that every pensioner in this country – every pensioner – will be better off with Labour.”
Labour, he continued, is restoring economic stability and laying the groundwork to “build, with pride and determination, a Britain that belongs to you.”
