In a stale, windowless room in the ACC Liverpool last night, Labour ’s ruling NEC met after Keir Starmer ’s conference speech.
Instead of the spats that once dragged on for hours, a source said the meeting lasted about 40 minutes - and even left-wing members clapped the leader.
“Those meetings are usually nice these days,” said a loyal ally of Starmer. “But this one was *very* nice.”
