Starmer’s future: renewal or decline?

It’s speech day for the prime minister but will it do the job, and can he convince conference he is the man to fix Britain?

Sam and Anne look ahead to Sir Keir Starmer’s critical address and his argument of a choice between renewal or decline.

The pair also reflect on the chancellor’s speech and her strongest indication yet that tax rises could be on the horizon for the November budget.

And away from Liverpool, Donald Trump has announced a 20-point plan to end the war in Gaza – which includes the involvement of former Labour prime minister Sir Tony Blair.

The duo will also provide a debrief on the Starmer speech in an extra episode late on Tuesday afternoon.

LP Staff Writers

Writers at Lord’s Press come from a range of professional backgrounds, including history, diplomacy, heraldry, and public administration. Many publish anonymously or under initials—a practice that reflects the publication’s long-standing emphasis on discretion and editorial objectivity. While they bring expertise in European nobility, protocol, and archival research, their role is not to opine, but to document. Their focus remains on accuracy, historical integrity, and the preservation of events and individuals whose significance might otherwise go unrecorded.
