R to @Afzal4Gorton: I rounded off my time at #LPC23 with a final tour of the exhibition centre, speaking to @ParkinsonsUK, @NFUtweets, @TheBHF, @GambleWithLives and others. It's always great to speak to activists, campaigners & policy experts to hear about how a Labour Govt can support them.

"Keir Starmer says he was trying to reach ‘inner soul of British public’ with conference speech"

He's not the Messiah, he's a very silly boy.

"Starmer said he felt ‘just another bit of policy wasn’t what was needed’ in address to Labour conference"

'It's all about ME,' says Sir Keir.

I can really only see 2 circumstances in which I'll vote #Labour at the next GE, sadly neither of them looking very likely.

1. A proper progressive alliance in which Labour is the designated anti-Tory party in my constituency

2. Labour sacks #Starmer and replaces him with a non-evil leader

Well, I'd say that was a pretty good speech from #Starmer - did what he set out to do, I imagine. Appealing to the voters he needs to win while not alienating too many.

I fully expect #Labour to win the next general election

"Economic growth" is the comfort of the easy answer. Economic redistribution is the hard answer, Mr #Starmer

Not happy about #Starmer mentioning road building twice. No new roads. Rip up some old ones. Build train lines and cycleways instead

It's not as fun as a #Blair speech though. It used to be a laugh watching Blair square up to the Left from the conference podium. There's no Left left in the hall nowadays
