Jon Tonge, a professor at the Department of Politics at the University of Liverpool, says that British Prime Minister Keir Starmer must "give the speech of his life" at the Labour party conference "to set the agenda" for the coming years. "This is a hugely important Labour conference, and it's also a very unusual one," Tonge says in Liverpool, adding that it is "a historic event in lots of ways." The professor believes that if noises within the party are not silenced, "there'll be plenty of internal critics within the Labour Party" that could lead to trouble for Starmer. IMAGES AND SOUNDBITES
