Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer told Welsh delegates at the party's conference in Liverpool it is "time for change".As activists gathered for what could be the final Labour conference before the election expected next year, Sir Keir said the party would make the “positive case for change” with a pitch to swing voters that would “weld together” competence and the offer of fresh hope after 13 years of Tory rule.The party’s members gather in Liverpool enjoying consistent double-digit poll leads over the Tories and buoyed by the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election triumph over the SNP, but Sir Keir also warned against complacency.

00:00 This is the third conference in a row that I've come to our Labour Party conference
00:08 facing a different Prime Minister. Three of them. Three of them.
00:14 And I want the next time we meet together in a hall like this, at a conference like this,
00:20 for there to be another Prime Minister, Labour in power across the whole of the UK,
00:26 working with Labour in power in Wales.
00:30 And what do those three miserable Prime Ministers have in common?
00:40 Chaos, failure, decline, dishonesty. We could go on all night.
00:47 And I have to say, I don't agree, I don't suppose you agree, with very much that Rishi Sunak says.
00:55 But when he stood up last week and said, you know what, the last few years have been a failure,
01:02 lots of wrong decisions, we need change. I thought, spot on! Absolutely spot on, we need change.
01:11 And as you've shown in Wales, we are the party of change.
01:16 And when Rishi Sunak says we need change, I say, bring it on! Bring it on!
01:26 Thank you so much Wales, have a really, really fantastic evening. See you later.
01:31 (audience applauding)
