Keir Starmer first main topic: the petrol crisis: "Level up? You can't even fill up!"

Puts down a marker on the end of the Corbyn era:

"To the voters who thought we were unpatriotic, irresponsible or looked down on them, I say these words, 'We will never under my leadership go into an election with a manifesto that is not a serious plan for government'."

The heckles start:

Quick reply from Sir Keir: "At this time on a Wednesday, it's usually the Tories that are heckling me. It doesn't bother me then and it doesn't bother me now."

Now starts on the vision and the personal story.

"My dad was a tool maker, although in a way so was Boris Johnson's."

More heckles that cannot be ignored.

"Shouting slogans or changing lives, conference."

Applause and standing ovation drowns the hecklers out.

"We can chant all day," retorts the Labour leader.

Starting to look like a concerted effort to undermine the speech.

"Under my leadership, the fight against crime will always be a Labour issue," says Sir Keir.

Shades of T. Blair. But also tanks firmly parked on the Tories' lawn.

"When I got pinged I isolated, when Boris Johnson got pinged he tried to ignore it. That's not how I do business.....

"Politics has to be clean..."

"I don't think Boris Johnson is a bad man, he is a trivial man. He's a showman," says the Labour leader.

After that shout of "where's Peter Mandelson?", it's looking like in the battle between the Labour leader and those on the hard left who don't like him, the Labour leader is going to win today.

Big bit of policy trailed in the Guardian overnight confirmed by Starmer: mental health treatment under a Labour Government will be available in under a month.

"Education is so important that I am tempted to say it three times..."

Starmer is like Blair but he's definitely not Blair.

Keir Starmer promises to re-instate two weeks of compulsory work experience and guarantee that every young person can see a careers adviser.

He would add digital skills to the core curriculum - a so-called fourth pillar, as well as reading, writing and maths.

Perhaps unsurprising Keir Starmer wants every child to learn a musical instrument.

Fun fact: He can play the flute, piano and recorder. And was a Guildhall music scholar.

This bit reminiscent of the Cameron/Osborne message from 2010/2011 - inheriting the financial mess from the Tories, as he talks about the "good society".

*not the Big Society.

The way things are going it looks like this speech is going to break the 90-minute barrier.

"After a decade of Tory government, we need that change," says Keir.

Now praising the record of the Blair / Brown government.

CHEERS CHEERS CHEERS

The hecklers are heckled out.

Gordon Brown to lead a commission to settle the issue of the Union, Keir Starmer announces.

*Smart politics. Should put to bed an attack line from the Conservatives at the election that there'll be a second indy referendum if Keir Starmer needs a coalition with the SNP.

"Proud of armed forces..." says Sir Keir Starmer.

That's one from the Republic study.

"I loved my first conference as Labour leader, I have really loved it. But I don't want to go through the same routine every year."

Making Labour a party of government is the "object of the exercise", he insists.

"Work, care, equality, security, these are the tools of my trade and with them I will go to work," he concludes.

90 minutes almost to the dot. Need the loo.
