With the Tories looking like death cult muppets, all the Labour leader needed to do in his big speech was not sound like a complete halfwit
In recent years, the leader’s speech at the Labour party conference has always taken place on the last day. To let the event build to a climax, to keep the exhibitors and organisers happy and to stop everybody buggering off home a day early.
Keir Starmer decided to do things differently this year in Liverpool. He chose to go for broke on a Tuesday. To keep conference short and sweet. It’s been one of those rare occasions when everyone has been sweetness and light, going out of their way not to fall out with each in public and Keir didn’t want to push his luck. Quit while you’re ahead. Wednesday can look after itself.
