Sir Keir Starmer has promised a “decade of national renewal” for Britain under Labour rule, setting out party policies that will reverse the decline brought on by the Conservatives.

The Labour leader’s party conference speech kicked off with a security breach. A protester burst on the stage and threw glitter on Sir Keir just as he was about to address the audience.
