Sir Keir Starmer has delivered his first Labour Party conference speech as prime minister.
In a speech briefly disrupted by a pro-Palestine protester, he addressed the new government’s unpopular cuts to the winter fuel allowance, and warned of further tough decisions to turn the country around.
However, there were some announcements which will be welcome to many, including the introduction of a Hillsborough law, and guaranteed homes for veterans, young care leavers, and victims of domestic abuse.

A deadly attack unfolded in the West Bank as a Palestinian gunman opened fire on a civilian bus traveling from Beitar Illit to Jerusalem. The attack occurred at the Al-Khader Junction, leaving multiple casualties, including the tragic death of 12-year-old Israeli boy Yehoshua Aharon Tuvia Simcha. Several others were injured in the shooting, with a 40-year-old woman sustaining moderate wounds and a 24-year-old man and a 55-year-old man lightly injured. The gunman fled the scene but later turned himself in after an extensive search by Israeli security forces, including the IDF, Shin Bet, and police. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation and intensified tensions in the region.
