The Health Secretary Wes Streeting spoke to the ECHO on the first morning of Labour conference
Health Secretary Wes Streeting praised Liverpool as he returned to the city for the Labour Party conference. The conference began on Sunday at Liverpool's Exhibition Centre, with Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner taking to the stage for the first major speech of the event. It is the party's first conference since returning to government in July and the third year in succession that it has been held on Liverpool's waterfront.
We always get such a warm welcome and the number of people who, the moment I got off the train, said ‘It’s great you’re here, it’s great that we’ve got Labour back in government’.' The lead up to the conference has been dominated by headlines about gifts given to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and his wife Lady Victoria Starmer - following hot on the heels of the controversial decision to scrap winter fuel payments for the majority of pensioners .
