With inflation rocketing and public services coming under intense pressure, Labour has

been accused of being asleep at the wheel during a summer of discontent.

He has broken his silence after days of criticism for going a while, going missing, missing

in action.

It seems that Sir Sakeer rather has missed an opportunity to attack the government on the

cost of living.

But as Labour gathers in Liverpool for the party conference, just days after the government

unveiled its controversial new budget, many will be looking to Sir Sakeer's stammer to

see how he compares to the new Prime Minister.

There's nothing new about a Tory Prime Minister who, when asked, who pays, says it's you,

the working people of Britain.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

Well, there's nothing new about a Labour leader who is calling for more tax rights.

When Sir Sakeer's stammer makes his big speech tomorrow, can he convince his critics that

he's the right person to turn around Labour's election fortunes?

You're listening to stories of our times from the times and the Sunday times.

I'm Manvin Rana.

Today, what is Keir Starmer's big plan?

Gosh, a year is a long time, as they say, but yes, I remember sitting in the conference

hall in Brighton, waiting at fourth Keir Starmer to begin his speech.

Delegates, could we please ask you to take your seats?

Thank you.
