Sir Keir Starmer will face a grilling by the BBC’s Laura Kuenssberg as Labour’s conference kicks off today. The Prime Minister is under pressure amid questions over his leadership and the rise of Nigel Farage’s Reform UK.
As he arrived in Liverpool for the party conference, Sir Keir said it would be an opportunity to show Labour’s alternative to the “toxic divide and decline” offered by Reform.
Sir Keir is also facing pressure on issues including the two-child benefit cap with Labour backbenchers and unions renewing calls for the policy to be scrapped.
And his plans for a new digital ID system, unveiled at a conference of centre-left leaders in London on Friday, will also likely face scrutiny at the conference.
