"An unlikely mood has descended on Labour MPs as they head to Liverpool for their first conference since 1997. Despite a 174-seat majority, the atmosphere is described as surreal, with some MPs expressing despair over unforced errors that have overshadowed Keir Starmer’s political honeymoon. This lack of optimism is raising questions about the direction of the party, with hopes that Starmer will outline a compelling political narrative during the conference."
"The complaints around Keir Starmer's habits of taking freebies and the power of his chief of staff, Sue Gray, are undermining his image as a political reformer. Many MPs are puzzled about what the Labour Party stands for now that they have secured power. There's a sentiment that, unlike the New Labour era, Starmer hasn't yet articulated a strong vision to fill the political void, which is troubling for many within the party as they head into their conference."
