KEIR Starmer will promise “light at the end of the tunnel” in his first conference speech as Prime Minister today.
The PM will tell Brits we face a “shared struggle” on the economy and will warn he could not offer “false hope” about the challenges ahead.

After infighting at No 10 and rows over donations, he will suggest: “I know this country is exhausted by and with politics.
“I know the cost-of-living crisis drew a veil over the joy and wonder in our lives and people want respite and relief — and may even have voted Labour for that reason.
“Our project has not and never will change. I changed the Labour Party to restore it to the service of working people.
“That is exactly what we will do for Britain.”
The start of Labour’s government has been characterised by a gloomy outlook on public finances.
Speaking in Liverpool, Sir Keir will say: “The politics of national renewal are collective. They involve a shared struggle.
“A project that says, to everyone, this will be tough in the short term, but in the long term it’s the right thing to do for our country.
“And we all benefit from that.”
He will also warn the country is too relaxed about importing foreign workers.
In his first speech to Labour conference as PM, he’ll promise: “It is the policy of this Government to reduce both net migration and our economic dependency on it.
“I have never thought we should be relaxed about some sectors importing labour when there are millions of young people, ambitious and highly talented, who are desperate to work and contribute.”
The Migration Advisory Committee that sets visa levels will give ministers early warnings on sectors where migration is rocketing so Brit workers can be trained.
And firms found to be abusing visa rules or sponsorships will be outlawed from hiring foreigners.
