Sunday at Labour conference 2024: Five of the best speeches, panel events and receptions in Liverpool to prioritise

With Labour conference kicking off in Liverpool on Sunday, here are five key events you shouldn’t miss:

Angela Rayner speech

The biggest speech of Sunday at conference comes from the deputy prime minister and deputy party leader herself – Angela Rayner.

The often-outspoken MP for Ashton-under-Lyne has been the party’s deputy leader since 2020 and assumed the role of deputy prime minister following Labour’s election win in July.

Her speech is currently scheduled for 11.25am on Sunday.
