Keir Starmer Speech

So, if Parliament votes down the Prime Minister’s deal, or she can’t reach a deal, that is not the end of the debate.
And Labour must stand up again and shape what happens next.

Our preference, our preference is clear.

We want a General Election to sweep away this failed government!

And Conference , having swept them away we want to install a radical Labour government capable of transforming this country…!

And that is what should happen! After two years of negotiations ending in failure.

But if that is not possible, we must have other options!

And Conference, that must include a campaign for a public vote.

It’s right that Parliament should have the first say; it’s right that Parliament should have the first say!

But if we need to break the impasse, our options must include campaigning for a public vote.

And no-one is ruling out remain as an option
