It’s a big party at Labour conference in Liverpool. During the day, politicians are being careful to make sensible speeches, but after hours, delegates dare to dream of power. The wildest bash is the Mirror karaoke party tonight, where we hear Wes Streeting has prepared a number from Grease. Keir Starmer is expected to introduce the warbling.
Sir Keir is the toast of the town, with a series of drinks with his name on offer. Last night, a Labour List party was serving “Starmertinis”. The Spectator had Keir Royales. Angela Rayner prefers something stronger: Venom, a mixture of vodka, spiced rum, WKD and orange juice.
