Hello and welcome to Coffee Have Shots. I'm James Hill and with presenting today

from football over conference on day two, we're here today with Isabel Harbourman and Katie Balls

to talk about how it's all going. So, Isabel, what do you think of the general mood so far on day two?

I think it's really up beat and there are internal tensions, most notably over how supportive

Kit-Starmer is of strikes and I think that's going to become more and more of an issue.

Over the autumn, I've just been in the conference hall this morning where

there have been complaints from delegates about Kit-Starmer not joining picket lines

and not showing enough solidarity and so on, but actually that's probably the position where

somebody who wants to go back into government wants to be in with the sort of complaints

from the left or from the trade unions who Kit-Starmer says have a very different role

to the Labour Party about Labour performing a different role.

So, I think the mood is pretty good and I noticed on the fringes last night

you had front benches who spent the best part of the past six, seven years in the wilderness

now obviously on the front bench, but also really confident and happy about where things are

making jokes about momentum actually being called inertia and that sort of thing.

So, I think they are starting to feel as though things are going their way

for the first time in a long time.

Okay, did you think we can see that in the reaction to Rachel Reeves' speech today?
