Keir Starmer delivers speech at Labour Party conference in Liverpool seeking to reverse polls

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer will address the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, seeking to reverse dire polling topped by Reform U.K.'s Nigel Farage.

LONDON — He is the U.K.'s most unpopular leader on record — more disliked, polls say, than even Liz Truss, the woman famously outlasted by a lettuce.

Little over a year after winning a historic landslide victory, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer faces what could be a make-or-break moment as he fights for his political future.

The embattled leader is set to tell his restive Labour Party that it is in a “fight for the soul of our country," in an address Tuesday to its annual conference in Liverpool.

Starmer, 63, faces threats from all sides.

The Reform U.K. party led by Nigel Farage, a staunch ally and friend of President Donald Trump, is leading the polls. He has capitalized on discontent over the cost-of-living that has seen a rise in concern over immigration.
