Labour’s first conference as the governing party in 15 years felt more like a wake than a celebration. Ministers and members arrived at Liverpool docks in wet and windy conditions that chimed with the mood. Just 80 days into power and Sir Keir Starmer is already more unpopular than Rishi Sunak.

Sir Keir Starmer helped Labour deliver a stunning victory at the general election - which should have meant he'd have an easy ride at the party conference. Instead, he's already under pressure from both his own party and the public.

Many in the party expressed anger over comments by Starmer in support of Israel and Labour’s refusal to back an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. This led to a major crisis for Starmer after 14 shadow frontbench ministers resigned to back a Commons motion calling for a ceasefire.
