Anoosh Chakelian, Ailbhe Rea and Stephen Bush give their verdict on Labour leader Keir Starmer’s big conference speech. They discussed the heckling, how it went down in the hall and whether we learned anything about Labour’s big idea for government.

Then in You Ask Us, they answer a listener’s question on whether the Conservative party really is less divided than the other major parties.
