Floundering Keir Starmer admitted he has 'got to do more' today as he kicked off a mutinous Labour conference.The PM tried to emphasise the 'great things' achieved during the party's first year in power, but insisted people were 'frustrated' and it would 'take time' to 'change the country'.He branded Reform policies to abolish settled immigration status 'racist' and swiped at 'navel-gazing' critics amid mounting questions about his leadership. 'I just need the space to get on and do the things that I need to do,' the premier said. Sir Keir argued he can 'pull this round' despite another poll showed the party on track for disaster - with Nigel Farage poised to win a huge majority.In findings that will spread alarm among activists in Liverpool, the More in Common research estimated that Reform would scoop 373 seats if an election were held now. Labour would be reduced to just 90 MPs, from nearly 400 currently.Meanwhile, separate polling by Ipsos Mori has put Sir Keir's personal ratings at the lowest level any PM since comparable records began in 1977.The premier has now outstripped the minus 59 net score reached by both Rishi Sunak and John Major - plunging to a dire minus 66. In other twists and turns as Sir Keir clings on today:The PM refused to go further than saying 'the manifesto stands' when challenged on the idea of VAT going up at the Budget; Unite has threatened to pull affiliation to Labour unless Rachel Reeves brings forward left-wing measures such as a wealth tax and more borrowing;Labour conference has been hit with pro-Gaza protests as Sir Keir struggles to control discontent;A poll has found a majority of Scots support splitting the UK. Floundering Keir Starmer is pleading with Labour to keep the faith today as he kicks off a tumultuous conference
