  • Conference season has made one thing clear: Labour has already failed

    Opinion

    Polling in the aftermath of Labour conference tells a brutal story of a party that has already failed, writes Brandon Lewis.

    LIVERPOOL, ENGLAND - SEPTEMBER 29: Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves react on stage during day two of the Labour Party conference at ACC Liverpool on September 29, 2025 in Liverpool, England. The Labour Conference is being held against a vastly different backdrop to last year when the party had swept to power in a landslide general election victory. A year on and polling shows three quarters of Britons (74-77%) say they have little to no trust in the party on the cost of living, immigration, taxation, managing the economy, representing people like them, or keeping its promises.
