This should be a time of celebration for Britain’s Labour Party. It's opening its annual conference Sunday less than three months after winning power in a landslide after 14 years in opposition. But it’s no victory lap for Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

“But donations for gifts and hospitality and monetary donations have been a feature of our politics for a very long time,” she told the BBC. “People can look it up and see what people have had donations for, and the transparency is really important.”UK leader Starmer seeks to learn from Meloni’s tough migration policies at meeting in RomeStarmer won the July 4 election on a promise to “restore politics as a force for good” after scandal-tarnished years under the Conservatives.
Labour says that the criticism is being whipped up by the Conservatives and their media supporters. But polls suggest it has hurt. An Ipsos poll released Friday found 25% of respondents thought Starmer was doing a good job – down from 36% in July -- while 42% thought he was doing a bad job, up from 14%. The firm interviewed 1,082 adults by telephone and the margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points.
Labour leaders will try to convey a more positive message when Treasury chief Rachel Reeves makes a televised conference speech on Monday, followed by Starmer on Tuesday. They’re hoping to inject some cheer into the four-day conference, a blend of pep rally, policy forum and boozy bash that plays a key role in maintaining morale among party activists.
