Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has arrived in Liverpool ahead of the annual Labour Party Conference which begins tomorrow. Politics hub 👉 📺 Sky 501, Virgin 602, Freeview 233 and YouTube

Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer has told activists the Tories showed their"true colours" with tax cuts that will benefit the wealthiest most.

Analysis of the mini-budget by the Resolution Foundation said “only the very richest households in Britain” will see their incomes grow as a result of the tax cuts. "We want everybody to have aspiration, to want to work hard, to do well for themselves and for their family."Another 656 people have crossed the English Channel in small boats, according to official figures.It is the 12th time the daily number has topped 600 and brings the yearly tally up to 32,321.Some 28,561 crossings were recorded in 2021.

In the biggest tax-cutting announcement since 1972, he abolished the top rate of income tax and brought forward a reduction to the basic rate.On the Sky News Daily, Niall Paterson investigates who'll be the biggest winners with Sky News' economics and data editor Ed Conway.Police forces in England and Wales should prioritise"common sense policing" over diversity and inclusion initiatives, the home secretary has said.

She added:"Unfortunately, there is a perception that the police have had to spend too much time on symbolic gestures, than actually fighting criminals. This must change.11:09:13Lurking within the economic overhaul unveiled by the chancellor yesterday were a series of traps set to try and snare Labour in the months running up to the next election.

She later clarified that she was talking about the 45p cut for top earners, but the comment was quickly pounced on by Kwasi Kwarteng as evidence of a “Labour tax hike for millions”.Meanwhile, Labour are trying to cannibalise the attack lines they’ve been subject to for more than a decade and turn them back on the government by accusing ministers of playing fast and loose with the nation’s finances and borrowing beyond their means.

The package included abolishing the top rate of income tax for the highest earners as well as scraping the cap on bankers' bonuses.

Sorry, watching paint dry🥱🥱

Union funded

Liebour and scouse scum match made in heaven

Do nothing for working people? Did he defend those striking for better pay?

Nice mauve tie, what colours do you mix, is red and blue?

1 question for Starmer 'why'

Sausage

Must be rent a crowd . Just one bus full . !

Never trust a red Tory

Is that it . ? They have no support

Scoucers stolen their luggage already?

Massive crowd there 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

No thanks Keith.

Seen more people waiting for a bus than there are there for that sell out

Cue the Beatles ...

Working tax payers picks up the bills on Ukraine war but putin uses his gas supply huge profits to funds his military, uk tax payers are losers

There's more people at my local cub scout group.

Who are you...

The mere fact it’s held in Liverpool ….. 🙄

Staged, weak, dull as dishwater LabourFiles NeverLabour

Hired hands

Welcomed by tens of people who like gammon, singing God Save the King and maintaining the status quo. Huzzah.

There would be too much booing so the have to strictly control it!

27 people ? Lol

its so fake and set up

All I see now are the LabourFiles

lukeakehurst StarmerOut StarmerLies

Rent a crowd

And no one aside from a few office staff bussed in for the occasion noticed.

Rent a scruffy mob! 🤣🤣🤣

Compared to this welcome.

Liverpool hey… no change and the will never learn!

All the tax payers money which tories gave to their wealthy cronies and put working tax payers into paying debt, if labour wins next election they should take it all back from them with windfall on all of them cronies businesses and pay off the country’s debt

UKLabour Yeh here he is

Stages plank of wood

Meanwhile, over at the ToryConference2022 cabinet ministers are discussing the next ToryLeadershipFarce

His wife wants to go see her bit on the side

lol at the fake paid crowd

yawn

Love labour fans being deluded. Let me explain this in very simple form - ALL POLITICAL PARTIES ARE SCAMS. PEOPLE POWER CAN WIN.

If labour wins election they should pay off the country’s debts with money from the super rich instead of future children paying for it

Sky and BBC will be so excited with this, makes me sick!! Can’t stand the man

Gosh at least twenty people there!

Stamer do the right and RESIGN NOW

Cocky Rayner will be there and will explain to the Labour Party faithful why she needed £234,410 donations from the unions paid into her personal bank account and has Starmer’s memory loss returned after Beergate Party when he could not recall that Rayner was there and who stayed

Chilling, cult-like behaviour from the labour party staff under strict instruction to welcome the magic lawyer

Keith is a....

There was literally about 12 people there…. Embarrasin that

He’s a liar liar

Where’s the EDL thugs?

Wow. Team Starmer are learning. Exuberant reception with placards, but beyond the security turnstiles. Given the lack of anyone else entering turnstiles or milling around in the background, it feels contrived to me. Well executed though.

Not a cult

Your loving this aren’t you as labour activists paid for by Gates.

lukeakehurst So staged! It's total cringe.

You mean angry stepdad?

All the 'We hate Tories' they do realise Starmer is literally a Tory in a different outfit?

After 12 long years of Tory failure .. says the man who helped them stay in power FFS what a dingbat

Gordon Brown on mogadon.

Keir_Starmer can't even make an entrance without it being stage-managed and rehearsed. That partly explains why he's flustered when asked questions on the spot.

Keir_Starmer is such a fraud. This gathering has been staged as only a few people are there and they are all nodding in sync like penguins. Starmer literally has no passion or drive, he would do better job as a statue.

Bankrupted by labour.

Wow 10 whole people

Keir_Starmer arrives in Liverpool to an audience of 30 people🤣🤣🤣 NeverLabour

Just watched this & whilst I should be shocked, I'm really not! The LabourParty has been taken over & is not here to serve both it's members & the workingclass. Absolutely shameful. AlJazeera Labour KeirStarmer Politics Disgrace

Utterly staged with Pr agents and staffers applauding and kept away from normal people who would rightly boo and jeer him...

Cunt

Zionist puppet 😂

Bet shops have. Sold out of eggs.

In Scotland we have to endure Labour in Partnership with the Tories. Red Tories & Blue Tories in the same place. Shocking betrayal by Labour in Scotland….but the media ignore this horror story

Like a dozen people between staffers, friends & paid extras by the looks of it. 🤣🤡🐍 LabourFiles

When you order a Butlins red coat from Wish….

What a warm welcome* *from the paid activists bussed in to fill up the seats. Hope you all have fun waving your union jacks and singing songs praising the wealthy unelected elites in crowns you are so in favour of. What does Labour stand for? Slightly more central tories?

Wonder if he'll be visiting Wallasey? 😒

Is it me or doing his white shirt never look clean !! timeforanewshirt

Zoom out..

Not a word about the Immigration crisis. Not a word about Food prices. Not a word about the Emergency NEED for HOUSING, Nationwide. SOCIAL HOUSING.

20 people with special close recording is a huge crowd? 😂😂😂😂😂

Liverpool taxi drivers can’t make a living in their own city because the Liverpool labour council allow cross border taxi drivers to work Liverpool streets , only city in the uk where it’s taxi drivers can’t make a living in their own city

New Nazi party descends on liverpool

The last time Starmer was in Liverpool without the rent-a-crowd.

No wonder Labour are in financial trouble, the stewarding cost for controlling that vast crowd must be ruinous

How boring is Starmer 🤣

What a bell end 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Great work on making Labour electable again Keir 🌹

And there will be at least 30 people there. 😂😂😂

I prefer to watch a proper video. One that has actual news and journalistic integrity. Something you don't have

Just in time for beer and curry (but it won't be a party of course).

Bussed in supporters are a joke.

Not many people there LMAO

What a circus 🤣🤣🤣

There are literally thousands here. It’s like a carnival atmosphere. What an experience!

Wow There must be almost 15 people there

It’s a rock stars welcome for Starmer!

Wow! There must be 25 people or more there to greet Sir Starmer.

UKLabour a poor man’s Al Jazeera.. Bravo Al Jazeera for The Labour Files

I’d love to know Labours policy’s on removing Illegal migrants from the UK and stopping them coming in? This is probably the MAIN question and they need to set out exactly what it is they have planned to do not usual waffle

Keir_Starmer why isn't he hand in hand with Angela. Have they fallen out?

Writes for the Sun the rat 🐀

Rent a crowd must be struggling for staff 😆

🤔stage managed

What a joke he is & looks like a load of false applause like they’ve hired rent a crowd in to make it look like he’s got some reception. Labour are going downhill rapidly and here in Liverpool you’ve got dodgy councillors involved in cash in hand car parks which they try and deny

Pan out I'd love to see the rest of the welcoming crowd

UKLabour

Your comrades ready & waiting! 🌹

Labour's new 'Fairer, Greener' slogan was stolen from the Scottish Greens. Are they not bothering to contest any seats in Scotland in future?

The man's a wet wipe! There's only about 20-30 people there aswell 🤦‍♂️

All 12 of his supporters lucky man.

Please play the national anthem loud and proud. Can’t wait to see the reactions of the rest of the party when it’s played, it’s bound to be the highlight of the conference.

UKLabour Im killing myself laughing at the Labour back track on AngelaRayner saying she’ll take the massive tax cut to millions back. Labour a party with no ideas. Not one single one.

That was totally cringe. Hand picked group of fans with placards, and straight into a scripted speech. Labour are screwed.

Talk about hypocrisy, you cannot enter without ID,but they ate against voter ID,wonder why?

lukeakehurst Starmer about as welcome in Liverpool as a copy of The Sun.

UKLabour Why you in Liverpool your the party of London? Where only a Labour leader is a white middle aged man from London. Where is the king of the north.

Wonder how much the extras charged? Vile rancid man and party.

Hope you're going to ask him about the LabourFiles exposé. If not, why not?

suzyquiquero Fair play to the activists there. There's only a dozen there but they made the noise of at least 16

Bandwagons on standby

Whow 12 people

Beer & Curry for all including Angela Rayner 🍻

Embarrassing, cringeworthy, pathetic

Love this

Our next pm👏👏👏👏

UKLabour Jeez what r they all clapping for? You’d think he has found a cure for cancer

Devoid of ideas…..as usual

What a brilliant turn out for him. There must have been at least 20 people there?

Is that all they could scrape together?! Ffs! No wonder no security in front of the camera! All rehearsed too! You think we can’t see the obvious? CorbynWasRight

Wow some turn out!!

He needs to call a snap election. Now! Before people start dying. Or is this what he wants? Dirty politics playing with peoples lives just for a landslide

I think I can see kimjwhitehead and caught a glimpse of juliasuzanne76 and suzyquiquero at the end. 👀🌹

Bristling with personality

Who cares. The guy is a complete and utter whining bell end. This is not newsworthy!!

Watch the Al Jazeera documentary !! Establishment Stooge !!

These pointless, self congratulatory gatherings still going ahead? What a waste of time

Lovely to see you all, all 12 of you specially chosen!

Cue photos of how he tackles a dish of scouse.

I guess he's changed his mind about taxes being too high.

UK needs, Labours PM...

Establishment patsy

That’ll be more whinging every time he opens his lips then 🙄
