Sir Kerr Starmer opened his work conference with an appeal to his critics to unite and take the battle to the United Kingdom to Najel Faraj, saying: “I just need the space to reach the things we have to do.”

Curtain He arrived in Liverpool, who faces terrible opinion classifications and speculation about the period in which the Prime Minister could remain. But he told the activists of the Labor Party that they should instead focus on “our life battle” with Farage instead of internal battles.

“We have to overcome reform,” said Laura Queensburg of the BBC. “Now it is not the time to meditate or warn the navel. This is a battle we are all together.”

In some of his strongest words so far against reform, he claimed that the Faraj plan Unlimited vacation to stay – The main road to a permanent settlement in the UK was – and people are forced to re -apply visas every five years “racist”.

“They want to tear the country from each other,” he said, on the pretext that people with an unlimited leave to survive were legally lived in the country and played a major role in the economy and local societies.

“I think it is a racist policy,” he said. “I think he is immoral and should be called up for what it is.” He added: “We had no opposition like reform in this country before.”

Starmer faces grumbling around his leadership, with Andy Bourneham, the mayor of Manchester, The maneuvering on the margin. Bornham will closely see the party’s leadership wandering around the conference in Liverpool.

Meanwhile, the size of the Starmer challenge was clarified through a more common survey and expected that Farage will become the next Prime Minister in Britain with 373 MPS, leaving the Labor Party with only 90 seats, if immediate elections were held. Most of the cabinet will lose their seats in such a catastrophe.

Starmer insisted that he was focusing on communicating policies to improve living standards, rebuild NHS and make the country safe and safe, on the pretext that he would be sentenced by voters in the upcoming elections on whether he had succeeded.

“In politics, there will always be comments about leaders and leadership, especially at the party’s conference,” Starmer said. “I do not attach my fingers in my ears at the lowest.”

Starmer was asked if he would raise the value -added tax in the November budget, and increase his party’s commitment in his statement last year not to raise a series of major taxes. He has also ruled out the set of income tax and national insurance rates.

But Starmer insisted: “The statement stands.”

In a sign of pressure on Starmer from the Labor Party, which he left to reduce the budget chains in the budget, Sharon Graham, Secretary -General for Uniting the Union, said that there will be a “real problem” if not large sums of money are not collected to transfer public services.

Spending was restricted through the narrow financial position of the government under the rules established by Chancellor Rachel Reeves.

Graham Sky News told “it has become the most difficult and difficult to justify” great unification donations for the Labor Party. “The budget is a very crucial point for us to see if the trend will change,” she said. “These financial rules must be changed.”

Meanwhile, the ministers named three sites where they hope to start construction New cities During this parliament as part of a broader attempt to enhance the building of the house.

Steve Reed, Minister of Housing, said that the first between the new Conrurbss will be in Tempsford in Bedfordshire, Leeds South Bank and Crews Hill in northern London.

Tempsford is a small village sitting at the intersection of the main eastern coast line and the east and west railway planned between Oxford and Cambridge.

The Labor Party had long-term plans to oversee dozens of new cities, but the ministers were frank because the projects-which would be aide in the current perceptions-would take years or contracts to complete them.

Reid said that he wants to “go ahead at work” in all 12 sites as soon as possible through the “new towns unit” that would support the investment of millions of pounds from public and private sectors.

Red is likely to face questions about the accuracy of this funding, given that a recent report indicates that building 12 new cities – each of which has at least 10,000 homes – will cost 48 billion pounds.
