Labour leader Andy Burnham begins his first conference in Liverpool following his ousting of Keir Starmer, but party tensions quickly emerge. Coverage highlights continued internal infighting and disputes over policy and leadership conduct as the conference opens.
Several issues are reported as points of disagreement. Deputy leader Angela Rayner is said to stand by comments involving Labour’s immigration plans, with the Left faction accusing Burnham of “ghosting” them. In addition, the Chancellor is reported to acknowledge that funding pressures may require finding billions for a potential fuel bailout, adding to the atmosphere of uncertainty and contention going into conference debates.
