KEIR Starmer has promised to prove doubters wrong again by changing Britain for the better.

But he warned the job will take time, saying: "We will turn our collar up and face the storm."

Against a red backdrop emblazoned with Union flags and the words Change Begins, Mr Starmer sought to shake off the gloom and offer a glimmer of hope.

In his first conference speech as Prime Minister, he said the hard work and grit of ordinary people will create a country "built to last".

He said it will be tough to fix the mess left behind by the Tories.

But he urged voters to stick with him to "get a country with its future back". He said: "People said we couldn't change the party but we did. People said we couldn't win across Britain but we did.

"People say we can't deliver national renewal, but we will."

He added yesterday: "We will stabilise our economy, clear out the Tory rot, fix the foundations and deliver the mandate for change... a Britain built to last."
