Labour faces a huge challenge at the next election: first to win power, then to use it to change our country for the better. The polls suggest it will clear the first hurdle, but what of the second?

The challenges our county faces have never been greater. We need a bold and reforming progressive government to rebuild our crumbling public services, restore trust in our democracy and tackle the climate crisis head-on. We brought you a live episode of It’s Bloody Complicated from Labour Conference 2023 to ask: is Labour up to the challenge?

We were joined by journalist and broadcaster Steve Richards, The Guardian’s Zoe Williams and the New Statesman’s Zoe Grunewald to talk about the key headline announcements, reflected on the mood on the conference floor and discussed whether Labour is ready for power.
