With Labour conference kicking off in Liverpool on Sunday, here are five key events you shouldn’t miss:
Angela Rayner speech
The biggest speech of Sunday at conference comes from the deputy prime minister and deputy party leader herself – Angela Rayner.
The often-outspoken MP for Ashton-under-Lyne has been the party’s deputy leader since 2020 and assumed the role of deputy prime minister following Labour’s election win in July.
Her speech is currently scheduled for 11.25am on Sunday.
Securing the Future: Union Jobs and National Security
A New Deal for Working people has been front and centre of Labour’s election campaign and early days in government.
This fringe event with GMB Union will feature speakers including the union’s general secretary Gary Smith.
It will be held in Leonardo’s Hotel Meeting Room 1 at 12.45pm on Sunday.
Labour Police & Crime Commissioners: Making your streets safer
Chaired by Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell, this fringe event turns the spotlight on Labour’s role in improving policing.
Invitees include big names in the cabinet such as Yvette Cooper and Shabana Mahmood.
The event will take place in ACC Meeting Room 11C at 10.30am.
