Labour Conference: Starmer Pitches Himself as Next PM Despite 'Boring' Image

Labour Party held its annual conference this week in Liverpool, with leader Keir Starmer giving an upbeat speech painting the Conservatives as the party of decline.

Starmer has stabilized Labour and brought it back to the mainstream after years of division under previous leader Jeremy Corbyn.

Labour is currently the favorite to win the next UK election, due to the Conservatives' scandals and self-destruction under Boris Johnson and Liz Truss.

Starmer is seen as competent but boring; his team is trying to portray him as a serious leader alongside a capable team ready to govern.

Critics say Starmer may bore his way into power but could end up an uninspiring placeholder PM; however, even critics concede he'll likely be the next PM.
