Daily Record Political Editor Paul Hutcheon, who is at this week's Labour conference in Liverpool, says it is now Labour's election to lose.
Keir Starmer’s Liverpool conference speech was the strongest sign yet Labour is close to dumping the Tories from office.The first was reforming a Labour party that had lost touch with the public - code for banishing the Corbynistas. Mission accomplished.With the Conservatives miles behind in the polls, and with Labour trouncing the SNP in last week’s by-election, Starmer has also achieved this goal.
Scrapping non-dom status, imposing VAT on private schools and clearing the NHS backlog give him the outlines of an agenda. The mood of delegates was buoyant and many can scarcely believe their party is on the verge of power after the wilderness years. Michael Shanks, the victorious candidate, is a modest and unassuming man, but he was treated like Mick Jagger visiting Glastonbury.
Scottish politics It is a far cry from the dog days of Richard Leonard when Scottish Labour scraped fifth place at the European elections.
