Lets return to our top story. Sir Keir Starmer has said change has began as he listed what he described as his governments achievements in the first few months. 0ur Political correspondent Alex Forsyth is at the conference. People are still filing out from the conference where Keir Starmer gave his speech. It was about an hour long and the Conference Hall was packed and there was Standing Room only. Few moments when he got a standing ovation. Notably when he spoke about the rioting in the summer, he called it thuggery, saying racism is vile which brought the crowd to its feet. We can talk about this now with tracy brabin, the mayor of West Yorkshire. Thanks forjoining us. What did you think . Did he answer the critics that said he had been too downbeat and too gloomy . That is what we needed in the speech we have heard. It started slow and measured and very thoughtful, and i got a sense of the person i know, and i felt he was open and self deprecating, but also you could see his steely determination and you mentioned the section about racism and the section about racism and the events over the summer, and his anger was absolutely palpable. There was not a person sat, because we were all behind that, there is no room for racism in our society, and also about the value of immigration, but also hidden amongst a lot of the speech, inside it was an announcement about the Apprenticeship Levy and the changes to the levy where businesses who were finding it difficult to implement, so it was going to older more established members of the business, but this new Apprenticeship Foundation Level will really help young people who might not be ready for a full apprentice, who might not be ready for a fullapprentice, but who might not be ready for a full apprentice, but will be able to take that action from school to get into work. I thought it had a Hope And Warmth. thought it had a Hope And Warmth thought it had a Hope And Warmth.. ~ warmth. He was also talking about the warmth. He was also talking about the tough warmth. He was also talking about the tough decisions i warmth. He was also talking | about the tough decisions the government is taking and the overall picture where there are likely to be more tough decisions in the budget in october. You cover West Yorkshire and you will know the direct impact that the strain on public finances has had there, so are you nervous about what the government might do . We are looking forward to october because we cannot carry 0ctober because we cannot carry on as we are. We cannot have local authorities that are the foundation of our society, the Safety Net that has been so eroded, people are falling away to Food Banks and baby banks, we cannot have that, and i have my ambitions for my region, whether that is bringing buses back into public control, mass transit, these infrastructure projects, i need a skilled workforce and homes for people to live in it, but you cannot have that when you have local authorities on their knees so we will hear more about that from Rachel Reeves of course but it was very much an acknowledgement of the chaos after 1a years of a conservative government. He did keep reflecting back to how they had avoided those tough choices and that he was not someone who would do that. The way his steely approach from his experience as a prosecutor, you could tell this meant so much to him, that he was going to be honest with the british people and it was refreshing to see but also the plan for the future because that is what the public have been crying out for, and it feels like nobody has a plan, nothing works, everything is broken, but now with Keir Starmer at the helm with Keir Starmer at the helm with a labour government, i do believe that that was reassuring and uplifting. You mentioned reassuring and uplifting. You mentioned he reassuring and uplifting. You mentioned he was reassuring and uplifting. You mentioned he was being honest with the public and he also talked about trust because we note that trust in politics is really low. What does the government have to do to make sure it does not Damage Trust any further . Any further . Deliver. That is what i as any further . Deliver. That is what i as the any further . Deliver. That is what i as the mayor any further . Deliver. That is what i as the mayor of any further . Deliver. That is what i as the mayor of west| what i as the mayor of West Yorkshire have said in the next four years of my tenure, deliver, deliver, deliver, and thatis deliver, deliver, deliver, and that is what we will do, and that is what we will do, and thatis that is what we will do, and that is why we have been tasked as the mayor to come up with a Growth Plan and that is why skills are important and why House Building is important and i was reassured from what i heard, that that is what is going to happen. Heard, that that is what is going to happen. Tracy brabin, the mayor going to happen. Tracy brabin, the mayor of going to happen. Tracy brabin, the mayor of west going to happen. Tracy brabin, the mayor of West Yorkshire, | the mayor of West Yorkshire, Thanks Forjoining us. The Prime Minister took to the stage here at the labour Party Conference, the first labour Prime Minister in 15 years. He talked about the need to make tough choices and Trade Offs but he injected, he tried to get a sense of his plan for the future to bring people alongside and convince them that he could deliver, but we will see whether that is the case. We can now speak to matt. There were questions about the economic direction of labour but he said no return to austerity, so are you convinced . Austerity, so are you convinced .. convinced . He needs to deliver on that. Convinced . He needs to deliver on that the convinced . He needs to deliver on that. The speech convinced . He needs to deliver on that. The speech was convinced . He needs to deliver on that. The speech was very i on that. The speech was very well received by the audience but it is the people, the voters and its citizens around the country that matter, and the country that matter, and the message of Lifting Austerity has got to be delivered quickly. Working people have suffered over 1a years under austerity and wages have stagnated. Workers need a pay rise. I think some of the measures on Public Sector pay, i welcome, but he needs to do far more of that and he needs to show mechanisms by which you can raise the living standards of people and increase wages so people are not struggling to pay the bills as they have been over the last two years. He brushed over the last two years. He brushed off over the last two years. He brushed off some of the criticism he has faced and he said it was water off a duck s back and he said it was prepared to be unpopular and are referencing the decision to cut the Winter Fuel payments, do you get the sense that he is listening . I do you get the sense that he is listenin . ~ , listening . I think he might be listenin listening . I think he might be listening despite listening . I think he might be listening despite those listening . I think he might be| listening despite those words, and the Trade Unions made it clear that their concern about that and we will have a debate on that in due course, tomorrow now, at the conference, and it has landed badly with the country and with voters, so i hope that Keir Starmer does listen to that concern. Because otherwise it will last a very long time. B, otherwise it will last a very long time otherwise it will last a very lonutime. ... long time. A lot of chat about the tone. Long time. A lot of chat about the tone. We long time. A lot of chat about the tone, we had long time. A lot of chat about the tone, we had the long time. A lot of chat about | the tone, we had the warnings from the chancellor specifically had of the budget, the same from the Prime Minister, and there was a sense he had to shift the tone and deliver a bit more optimism, did he do enough of that . Im did he do enough of that . Im not sure he did he do enough of that . In not sure he has done enough yet. People voted for a new government and what they want is hope and that is what they expect the new government to bring, so how are they going to make the lives of people better .
