"Keir Starmer will warn the Labour party that it is in a fight for the soul of the nation and that history will not forgive his government if it fails to confront and defeat Reform UK and the populist right. Speaking to the Guardian ahead of a vital conference for his leadership, he said he would tell disgruntled party members that now was not the time for introspection and infighting."
"History will not forgive us if we do not use every ounce of our energy to fight Reform. There is an enemy. There is a project which is detrimental to our country. It actually goes against the grain of our history. It's right there in plain sight in front of us. We have to win this battle."
Keir Starmer will urge Labour to recognise a fundamental contest against Reform UK and the populist right, framing the moment as a fight for the nation's soul and for patriotic national renewal. Starmer plans to push the party away from introspection and infighting and toward a cohesive effort to reclaim patriotism and define it positively. The conference in Liverpool follows difficult weeks for the prime minister, with missteps, departures and polls showing Labour trailing Reform by 10 points. Andy Burnham is being touted by some as a potential alternative, but Starmer insists he will remain in office and lead into the next election.
