'Change has started'
The Prime Minister said Labour was “rebuilding our country” as he arrived at his party’s conference in Liverpool. Sir Keir Starmer was intent on shifting attention away from rows over donations and internal No 10 infighting.
Sir Keir said the gathering was “our biggest conference ever and the first one in 15 years with Labour in government”, adding “change has started”. But in a sign of the unease within the Labour movement, the party’s largest union backer, Unite, is pushing for changes, including reversing the cuts to the winter fuel allowance.
Sir Keir and his wife, Lady Victoria Starmer, had faced scrutiny over the acceptance of gifts, including clothing, from prominent Labour donor and peer Lord Alli. The Financial Times newspaper meanwhile reported that donations “in kind” listed in the publicly available registers of interest for both Ms Reeves and Ms Rayner had also been for clothing.
“The country’s priorities are our priorities.” Ms Nandy said the most important thing the government had done since coming to office was being “open and transparent about what we are doing”, and maintained Sir Keir had followed the rules on donations.
