Sir Keir Starmer – is he a Prime Minister in waiting?
A big plea, a big pitch for the big job. But did he land it? Analysis from the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s Leila Nathoo.
Labour would have expected to be dominating the news this week, but its conference in Liverpool has been completely overshadowed by global events.
That may not matter for Labour, because the polls are not showing a bounce for the Conservatives after their conference and Labour remain comfortably ahead.

In this episode of our 5 Questions On podcast, the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s political correspondent Leila Nathoo explains what the Labour leader had to say, how the speech went down in the hall – and whether it will resonate beyond conference.
