LIVERPOOL, England (Reuters) -Labour leader Keir Starmer appealed to voters on Tuesday to back his vision for Britain, saying his revamped opposition party was best placed to turn the country's fortunes around by boosting economic growth, building houses and restoring hope.

In possibly his last speech as an opposition leader to the party faithful before an election expected next year, Starmer shrugged off a protester who threw glitter over him before launching into a particularly personal speech.
