Sir Keir Starmer admitted he's made mistakes in his first three months as Prime Minister this afternoon, telling Labour members: "Service doesn’t mean we’ll get everything right."

The tacit admission comes after the Labour leadership has been embroiled in a clothes from donors row and anger from members over the Government portraying a negative outlook for Britain.

Speaking at the Labour Party conference in Liverpool, the Prime Minister “service is the responsibility and opportunity of power”, adding: “Service does not mean we’ll get everything right, it doesn’t mean everyone will agree.

“But it does mean we understand that every decision we take, we take together and that it is our duty to the British people to face up to necessary decisions in their interests.”

The Prime Minister also criticised those people who “still hanker” for the “weak and cowardly fantasy of populism”, saying it is “water off a duck’s back” to him.
