'Fight of our lives': Sir Keir Starmer
The Prime Minister acknowledged the public's frustration with the time taken to deliver the change people voted for in last year's landslide general election win.
But he insisted he can turn the situation around and called on Labour to end the "introspection" and "navel-gazing" as speculation mounted about his position.
In an interview on BBC's Sunday With Laura Kuenssberg as Labour's conference began in Liverpool, Sir Keir said there is "a lot of hard work to do" for his administration to deliver the change promised as he secured the election victory last year.
