Sir Keir Starmer will say Britain stands at a fork within the street as he pits Labour in opposition to Reform in his convention closing speech.
The prime minister will use his handle at 2pm on Tuesday to say the UK can select decency or division, renewal or decline, be in command of the long run or succumb “to the politics of grievance”.
“It is a test,” he’s anticipated to inform the second autumn Labour convention of his premiership.
“A combat for the soul of our nation, each bit as huge as rebuilding Britain after the battle, and we should all rise to this problem.
“And yet we need to be clear that our path, the path of renewal, it’s long, it’s difficult, it requires decisions that are not cost-free or easy. Decisions – that will not always be comfortable for our party.”
Sir Keir will say “at the end of this hard road there will be a new country”, which he’ll put ahead as fairer and “a land of dignity and respect”.
He’ll promise that everyone shall be seen and valued, wealth shall be created “in every community”, and dealing individuals shall be in command of public companies.

The “mindless bureaucracy that choked enterprise” shall be eliminated “so we can build and keep on building”, the PM will pledge.
He’ll say that he believes Britain “can come together” regardless of individuals telling him it can not.
“We can pursue a shared destination,” he’s anticipated to say.
“We can unite around a common good. That’s my ambition, the purpose of this government. End decline, reform our public services, grow our economy from the grassroots.”
