Starmer Urges Labour Unity in ‘Fight for the Soul of Britain’

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will call on his Labour Party to unite as he warns of a “fight for the soul of our country” amid growing pressure from Nigel Farage’s Reform UK. Speaking at Labour’s annual conference in Liverpool, his second since last year’s landslide win, Starmer is expected to stress that Britain stands at a crossroads between “decency or division, renewal or decline.”

Starmer faces a restive party, with critics uneasy over his stance on immigration and calls for more spending. Finance Minister Rachel Reeves cautioned against easing fiscal rules, leaving open the prospect of fresh tax rises despite assurances that last year’s record hikes were a one-off. The government is grappling with a forecast shortfall that could require tens of billions in additional revenue.

Acknowledging the challenges ahead, Starmer will insist that raising living standards and putting money in voters’ pockets remain central to Labour’s mission. “Our path of renewal is long, difficult, and not cost-free,” he will say, urging members to accept tough decisions as essential to rebuilding Britain after years of economic strain.
