Why does Labour’s conference feel different under its new leadership?
Hello, that hubbub you can hear is the sound of conferencing because I'm at Liverpool on the banks of the River Mersey, where Labour is meeting for their annual conference. And it is absolutely rammed with activists, so many lobbyists and business people as well. And you can tell there is a buzz here and a vibe that didn't exist last time around when Keir Starmer was Prime Minister and his leadership was already in trouble. And I promise I was not Not gonna say the V word while covering Andy Burnham anymore, but it actually is quite an important thing. And you can just sense in the air that Labour types are just much more chipper with him in charge than with Keir Starmer. So here is another episode of Newscast coming to you from Labour Party Conference.
And the set piece of it is going to be a conversation with the Chancellor John Healy just minutes after he delivered his conference speech. So that is what you will hear on this episode of Newscast. Newscast.
Newscast from the BBC. Humanity's next great voyage begins. I don't know the Prime Minister is, mate, do you? I'm
Andy and I I'm not looking my best right now. I see that he was I guess the mayor of a town. Ooh lala. Thinking about it like a panto helped. And what will you do? Stare at a wall. Do we play music now or what do we do?
Hello, it's Adam at the Labour Party Conference. And it is Chris on a stool, as is Adam, a different stool, at the Labour Party Conference.
It's like we're about to do karaoke as a boy band. But actually, we're about to speak to John Healy the Chancellor, because it's Monday of Labour Conference, and the big tradition is that the Chancellor does their speech. We got quite used to the style of a Rachel Reeves speech. Today we're getting used to what a John Healy speech is like, the difference of emphasis, and especially because there's a new Prime Minister. But Chris, just before we talk about the economy, I'm really struck about how much kind of real-world news is intervening here. So there's a stuff For RAF Fairford. Yeah. Just as John Healy was speaking, we got some news from counter-terror police who are who are leading the investigation, saying that the five people that they've got in custody who are staying in custody are British nationals, young men living in London.
We got the defence secretary on the radio this morning. Paying tribute to the police and the intelligence services, I think trying to dampen down that criticism that the police only turned up at the airbase because. Turned up. was a a farmer on a way home from a party, spotted some vans, and then you've got Chris Bryant, the Northern Ireland Secretary, having to fly over to Northern Ireland to sort out this standoff about a parade and Drum Cree. So actually there's a lot going on that isn't necessarily Labour politics.
Precisely that and in and in news terms particularly today, perhaps it'll be different on uh Andy Burnham's speech day on Tuesday. Events here are playing second or third fiddle to events elsewhere. I mean I think what we're seeing in RA Fairford or have seen, and obviously there's a huge amount we don't yet know, is a reminder of in big picture terms the reality of the backdrop that the government here is is wrestling with uh politically. The situation in the Middle East, let's see of the connections, etcetera, etcetera, to be explored into the in the coming days and uh weeks. But the implications of what has been happening overseas, particularly in the Middle East, playing absolutely into the dilemmas and the numbers that John Healy is looking at ahead of that budget a month today.
