Keir Starmer has spent his first months in power setting out the dire inheritance his party has been left by the outgoing Conservative government.

The forthcoming spending review is set to uncover an even bigger shortfall over the next two years .

Starmer will make no apologies for underlining the serious challenges the country faces.

But he will also use his first Labour conference address as prime minister to explain that painful decisions this autumn will be “for a purpose”.

There is frustration in some quarters that not all ministers have hit the ground running in the same way as others.

A former cabinet minister from the New Labour era said: “The budget is the main defining thing, not the conference’s conference. Starmer has to paint a tough picture because it is tough. But he also has to show direction”.
