This is the best summary I could come up with:


Keir Starmer has made a direct and personal appeal for Conservative voters to back him at the general election, using a largely policy-light speech to the Labour conference to present his party as fiscally responsible but able to plan for the long term.

In a speech peppered with direct and often brutal attacks on the Conservatives and Rishi Sunak, Starmer contrasted the past 13 years of Tory rule with what he described as “the real Britain”.

At almost the moment he began speaking, Starmer was interrupted by the intruder, a young man who threw glitter over the Labour leader and shouted: “True democracy is citizen-led.”

In a central section of the speech, Starmer set out his vision of a Labour government undoing the damage from Conservative rule, while yet again stressing that voters should expect this to take time.

In a section trailed widely in advance, Starmer railed against what he called “one barrier so big, so imposing that it blocks out all light from the other side” – the inability to build enough homes to alleviate the housing crisis.

This would be based around close ties with business and a “competitive tax regime”, Starmer said, as well as protections for workers: “Not state control, not pure free markets, but a genuine partnership, sleeves rolled up, working for the national interest.”
