Keir Starmer gives first Labour conference speech as PM - in full

Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said “we’re only just getting started” as he set out his vision for “national renewal”.
In his first Labour Party conference speech since entering No 10, Sir Keir said “change has begun” but warned there would be difficult decisions ahead.
He told delegates in Liverpool it would be a “long-term project”.

He promised that the Government would address an “injustice hiding in plain sight”, the issue of homeless veterans.
“We cannot stand by and let this happen anymore,” he said.
He listed action including reforming planning, ending the doctors’ strike, launching Great British Energy - which he confirmed would be based in Aberdeen - and a plan to nationalise the railways as an indication of his Government delivering on the promises made.
“And we’re only just getting started,” he said.
“A crackdown on knife crime. A real living wage. A modern industrial strategy. A 10-year plan for our NHS.

“Change has begun.”
