Sir Keir Starmer vowed to break the “stranglehold of Tory decline” as he set out his vision for the UK in a speech to Labour Party conference in Liverpool.
Sir Keir told activists that “there is no magic wand” to solve the nation’s problems but a Labour government would deliver a “decade of national renewal”.
The Labour leader said: “We will face down the age of insecurity together, break the stranglehold of Tory decline, walk towards a decade of national renewal.”
Sir Keir said that under his leadership the UK “will get its future back” but he warned the result of the next general election was far from a foregone conclusion.
He said the “dangerous” Tories “will be up for the fight” and added: “They are always up for the fight to save their own skins and this isn’t over. In fact it has barely begun.”
The Labour leader’s speech got off to a rocky start after he was interrupted on stage by a protester who threw glitter over him.
After the protester was removed from the stage, Sir Keir said: “If he thinks that bothers me, he doesn’t know me.”
