BRITAIN'S ruling Labour party gathered for its annual meeting yesterday, with under-fire Prime Minister Keir Starmer battling to convince nervous lawmakers that he is the right leader to fend off soaring support for the hard right.

UK's Labour party meets with Starmer

BRITAIN'S Prime Minister Keir Starmer and his wife Victoria arrive ahead of the annual Labour party conference in Liverpool, England.

It was only in July last year that the ex-lawyer led Labour back to power after 14 years in opposition, but scandals, policy missteps and plummeting poll ratings are already raising doubts about his future.

The four-day gathering in Liverpool, northwest England, comes amid chatter about a possible leadership challenge and follows two recent high-profile departures from government following embarrassing revelations.

The conference, which ends on Wednesday, takes place with Labour lagging well behind the upstart anti-immigrant Reform UK party, led by anti-EU firebrand Nigel Farage, in national surveys.

Starmer referred to Reform as an "enemy" that "goes against the grain of our history", in an interview with the Guardian at the weekend.
