I have never seen a more positive, upbeat, disciplined, highly-organised operation
night there was chaos at the taxi rank at Liverpool station. Huge queues and no discernible system. “Thought Labour were going to clear the backlog,” I muttered grumpily to the person next to me.
Everywhere you went from the main conference hall to the fringe meetings to the late night parties – every staffer, adviser, MP, councillor, Lord and parliamentary candidate was bang on message. Everyone was singing from the same hymn sheet and that included union and business leaders. It was striking how many lobbyists, businesses and suits were there from the city and the fact that the brothers and sisters from the trade union movement were totally okay with that.and even they were pitch perfect: our members and our economy needs thriving businesses but they need committed happy workers.
Add to that the turnout from civic society and there was this overwhelming sense of unity and purpose from pretty much every attendee at conference. And everyone is prepared to toe the line to get Sir Keir Starmer over the line.That shared ambition is also reflected in the vast amounts of money flowing into Labour’s coffers from extremely wealthy individuals, many of them former industrialists and entrepreneurs.
One aide quipped “We prepared for every protest group – from situation in the Middle East to Just Stop Oil and Extinction Rebellion. Nowhere on my risk register was some form of PR. I guess the good thing is that after all this, there’s no way Keir’s ever going to do it…” His wife Lady Victoria is no doubt a huge asset. They look great together and clearly quite like each other, which helps. While mercifully she didn’t introduce him, her presence was important. People want to see their potential future leaders in a human context and their partners are part of that story whether you like it or not. Her appearance was subtle but choreographed. She wore a Labour red dress which was specially loaned to her by London based, Canadian-British designer Edeline Lee.
