Members of Britain’s opposition Labour Party are gathering for their annual conference with an unfamiliar feeling: optimism
Members of Britain’s opposition Labour Party gather in Liverpool on Sunday for their annual conference with an unfamiliar feeling: optimism. The party has been out of power for 13 years, and in the last national election in 2019, voters handed Labour its worst drubbing since 1935. But with an election due next year, polls put Labour as much as 20 points ahead of the governing Conservative Party, and Labour scored a morale-boosting special election victory in Scotland last week.
In a sign that corporate Britain is preparing for a change of government, Labour says companies have been queuing up to buy stands in the conference exhibition hall and to attend a business forum with Starmer and other senior party leaders. In a speech opening the gathering, Deputy Leader Angela Rayner plans to accuse the Conservatives of presiding over “national decline” and being too consumed with internal political chaos to sort out the country’s problems.

The result doubles Labour's total of Scottish seats from one to two. Labour leader Keir Starmer called it a “seismic result.” Starmer’s party needs to regain ground in Scotland to win a majority of seats in a general election that must be called by the end of 2024.
