This year’s Labour Party conference felt more like a victory parade than any in recent years. Last year Starmer brought in a tranche of rule changes intended to keep Jeremy Corbyn’s followers out of power, and reneged on Leftish promises he had made to get elected as leader. Unsurprisingly he was heckled during his keynote speech.
But that shock therapy seems to have paid off. With the return of big business and corporate sponsors, and apparent party unity, many think that Labour is starting to seem electable. So what was promised, where did they party and what was the mood?
