Hello and welcome to The Rundown, a podcast from Politics Home.

I'm your host, Alan Tolhurst, and with me for a special live episode from the Labour Party

Conference of Liverpool, is my colleague Caitlin Doherty, as well as two brilliant guests,

shadowed Northern Ireland Secretary Peter Kyle and the shadow of illness of climate change,

Kerry McCarthy. So I think the best place to start probably is with Kirstama's speech, delivered Tuesday afternoon. He sort of said now is a Labour movement and I think

tried to reflect a growing confidence that we've all picked up this week within the party,

that Labor can go on and win the general election. We'll start with you, Peter. What was your kind of take on the speech?

And where did you watch it? And how did you feel it went down?

Excuse me for my throat. It's a bit worn out at the moment. But so just explain.

From all the clapping and cheering at T.S. Dharma speech. Exactly. And also explaining and meeting and listening to people. The speech today was remarkable because its confidence, its content, the power with which Keir asserted the message. The challenge we've always had since Keir took over is how we meet the public halfway. What Keir did today was he didn't just meet the public halfway.

He went to their doorsteps with our message. You know, the Labour Party has got very clear vision.

Nobody can be any doubt about the seriousness of our project. Nobody can be in any doubt that we

are rooting ourselves in where the mainstream aspirations of our country

is, that we have ideas that meet the scale of the challenges before us, but those ideas

are also sensible ideas. They're big, bold, but sensible ideas, and they are deeply rooted

in where the country believes mainstream politics should be today

in this big challenging moment.

Yeah, absolutely.

It felt like it was a real chance to try and present Labour as a credible government

in waiting against the kind of backdrop of a Tory party in crisis as the economy kind of crumbles

of the back of this tax cutting and high borrowing statement. Carrie,

how did you see the speech in those terms?
