BBC Breakfast's Sally Nugent then asks Starmer what his message is to pensioners frightened about paying their fuel bills this winter.

"My message is, we'll protect pensioners who need protection through pension credit," he replies.

Every pensioner will be better off "year on year" as the government will stick to the triple lock, he adds.

Starmer says that pensioners received a £900 increase in their state pension this year and will receive a £460 increase next year.

"By taking this decision to stabilize the economy, that triple lock is a cast iron guarantee," he says.

Opening the interview, Sally Nugent begins by asking Keir Starmer what change people watching at home can expect now he is in office.

He replies by talking about the speech he delivered to the Labour Party conference on Tuesday (key takeaways from that are here) and the steps the government has already set in motion.

Asked whether he believes he has made any mistakes in his first three months, he initially says there are always regrets "in any walk of life".

Pushed further, he talks about the disorder that followed the Southport attacks in August.

"I had to make big asks of the police, of prosecutors of criminal justice to ensure that those that were on the streets involved in thuggery went to prison as quickly as possible," he says.

"Now that's three weeks which I would have liked to use to focus on other things, but it was necessary to restore calm, restore order."

As we've been reporting, some of the key lines of Starmer's interview with BBC Breakfast and the Today programme have already been released.

But you can still watch the prime minister's interview with Sally Nugent on BBC Breakfast in full at 07:30 BST by pressing watch live above.

And then at 08:10 BST, you can listen to his interview with Nick Robinson on Radio 4's Today programme by doing the same - 5 Live will have an interview with the prime minister at 08:05 BST.

We'll also be bringing you the key lines from those interviews right here - so stay with us.

Moving to Downing Street has been "tough" for Starmer's children, the prime minister told our colleagues on 5 Live this morning.

Asked by Rachel Burden how the move in July went, the PM replied: "They’re 16 and 13 and that’s a very important time in their lives.

"What we’ve done, Vic and I, is to be really clear that we won’t name them in public, we won’t have photographs done with them in public.

"We’ll try to put a ring of protection around them so that even living in No 10 as they now are, they can live as normal a life as possible and go to the same schools, have the same friends, do the same things they did before...

“But it’s really difficult... to relocate from Kentish Town [where the family lived in north London] with all their friends, security in the only house they’ve ever lived in to somewhere else. Of course it’s difficult."

Keir Starmer has defended staying at the property of a Labour Party donor during the general election campaign, saying the move enabled his son to study for his final exams in peace.

In the register of MPs' interests, the prime minister declared a donation of several weeks' accommodation from Lord Waheed Alli worth more than £20,000.

Speaking to the BBC's Today programme, he said: "We had lots of journalists outside our house, but if you're a 16-year-old trying to do your GCSEs, your one chance in life, I promised him we would move somewhere.

"Somebody then offered me accommodation where we could do that, and I took it up. And it was the right thing to do. It didn't cost the taxpayer a penny."

As a reminder, Starmer has faced criticism in recent weeks for accepting donations for work clothing for him and his wife as well as hospitality from Arsenal football club, arguing he can no longer use his normal seats as prime minister, because of the security he needs.

Since those donations resurfaced, Starmer and Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner and Chancellor Rachel Reeves have said they will not accept any further donations for clothing.

Keir Starmer says benefit claimants should be expected to look for work after telling Labour activists on Tuesday that he's committed to tackling "worklessness".

In an interview recorded with the BBC's Today programme yesterday - which will air in full later this morning - he was asked if he agreed that virtually no-one should claim benefits without trying to get back to work.

"The basic proposition that you should look for work is right. People need to look for work, but they also need support," he said.

"That's why I've gone out to look at schemes where businesses are supporting people back into work from long-term sickness."

The inactivity rate - the number of people out of work and not looking for a job - surged during the Covid pandemic and has since remained at a persistently high level.

Nearly 3 million people are out of work due to ill health - a 500,000 increase on 2019.

The Office for Budget Responsibility says the cost of sickness and disability benefits will increase by £30bn in the next five years.

We'll get more details on these measures when we hear from Health Secretary Wes Streeting at the Labour Party conference at 10:00 BST, which will be covering live here.

On the flight here to New York, the prime minister told us "the most important message from me to British nationals in Lebanon is to leave immediately. It is important that we’ve been really, really clear: now is the time to leave".

There are an estimated 10,000 UK citizens in the country.

A senior government source added that commercial flights were still leaving Lebanon and British nationals should book a seat.

"I'm deeply concerned [at the situation in Lebanon] and have myself put it in those terms that we are potentially at a brink point and we have to come back from the brink. That's why we've been very clear with our allies saying de-escalate - we need a ceasefire and to de-escalate."

The Ministry of Defence is sending 700 troops to nearby Cyprus to help prepare for the possible evacuation of British nationals. They will join 500 extra military personnel who were sent there over the summer as part of the MoD’s contingency plans for an evacuation operation.

The Royal Air Force has planes and helicopters on standby and two Royal Navy ships are in the eastern Mediterranean.

Good morning and welcome back to our fourth and final day of live coverage of the Labour Party conference in Liverpool.

Yesterday, the conference heard from Keir Starmer, who outlined a plan for "national renewal" in his speech, before he set off for New York to attend the United Nations General Assembly.

Just before crossing the pond, the BBC sat down with the prime minister.

Some of those key lines have already come out - which include a warning to UK citizens to leave Lebanon; his belief that benefit claimants should be expected to look for work; and him defending using a Labour donor's flat during the election - saying his son needed somewhere quiet to revise for his GCSEs.

You can watch those two separate interviews in full on this page - the first, on BBC Breakfast, starts at 07:30 BST, and the second with the Today programme starts at 08:10 BST.

We’ll bring you more key lines from when those interviews air in full later this morning. Stay tuned.

Keir Starmer has set out his "long term project" for the country in his first Labour conference speech as prime minister.

National renewal was a key theme throughout Starmer's speech, as he insisted that "change has begun".

But he warned the government would have to make more "unpopular" decisions over the coming months, in order to make a "Britain built to last". Starmer also made a series of announcements, which you can read more about in our earlier post.

Before Starmer's speech, we heard from Home Secretary Yvette Cooper, who pledged to halve knife crime in a decade and open new youth clubs for teenagers to steer them away from violence.

She described Labour as the "party of law and order" and said criminals exploited “cracks in the system” under the Conservatives. We've got more detail on that in our news story.

Did the Rwanda policy cost £700m?published at 16:47 British Summer Time 24 September

In his speech, the PM claimed the Conservative government spent £700m on the Rwanda scheme. Starmer is referring to the previous government’s scheme to send some asylum seekers to Rwanda, which Labour has now scrapped.

We don’t know exactly what the £700m figure includes, but it was first used by Home Secretary Yvette Cooper in July, external.

She said it included £290m in payments to Rwanda, along with the costs of chartering flights, detaining and releasing “hundreds of people”, and 1,000 civil servants who were working on the scheme.

At the time, Shadow Home Secretary James Cleverly described this figure as “made up”.

BBC Verify has asked the Home Office for a full breakdown, both in July and today.

In March, the National Audit Office said payments to Rwanda would rise to £370m over the five years of the scheme with additional costs bringing the total to about £600m, external.

We can bring you some more reaction to Starmer's conference speech now - this time from the Liberal Democrats deputy leader, Daisy Cooper.

She says there is "still time for the government to change course" on its "concerning" winter fuel allowance cuts.

Millions of pensioners will be "left disappointed" today due to the lack of a U-turn, Cooper adds.

Cooper also says the government needs to invest more in healthcare in order to "truly kickstart our economy and save public services".

Starmer still speaking in broad strokespublished at 16:31 British Summer Time 24 September

The key economic message of the PM’s speech was a focus on a series of long term reforms that he says his predecessors shirked because of political cowardice, leaving Britain in a state.

He pointed to the start this government has made on planning, energy, house building, industrial strife, the public finances and now skills.

The announcement on reforms to the apprenticeship scheme are important. He said they were a “first step” in a plan to eradicate youth unemployment entirely. The wider target sounds ambitious and expensive, echoing Gordon Brown’s future jobs fund from the financial crisis.

He did not repeat the rhetoric from last month about a “painful” Budget. There will be “light at the end of the tunnel” and the burden of a tough Budget will be “shared fairly”.

These are still very broad brushstrokes.

Is this a PM who will sort out the social care system, significant NHS reform, and university funding too?

Much of this will need to be crystallised in the coming months ahead of the spending review, which will carve up government resources by individual department. Negotiations over the first year of that review begin next week.

Angela Brady, 56, from East Dulwich, says she was "excited" by Starmer's speech and that even delivering half of it would mean a "fairer economy and a happier country".

"There's a lot to do but real intent to get it done," she said.

On the protester, she says she was surprised at the disruption after Rachel Reeves' speech was also interrupted yesterday. She defended Starmer, saying he did clearly set out that the government wants an immediate ceasefire.

Steve Hynes, 60, from St Ives, said he used to work with Starmer and felt the speech allowed his personality to shine through more than it had before.

"He can be very lawyerly but he is a genuine guy and I felt we saw more of that when he spoke about his sister and also when he got emotional talking about racism."

• 'Change has begun': Starmer struck an optimistic tone as he opened by celebrating the party's success at the election. He listed action he says Labour has already delivered - including planning reform, an end to the junior doctors' strike and the launch of Great British Energy, which he confirmed would be based in Aberdeen
• National renewal: Starmer promised "national renewal" throughout his speech - promising that the public "get a country with its future back" under the new government. But he said some of his decisions will be "unpopular"
• Housing plans: The PM announced plans to house homeless veterans, care leavers and domestic abuse victims. It means those groups will be exempt from having to providing a local connection to the area they're applying to
• Hillsborough Law: Starmer promised that the government would introduce a Hillsborough Law by the time of the next anniversary of the 1989 football stadium disaster in April
• Middle East: Starmer called for restraint and de-escalation between Israel and Hezbollah. "I call again - for all parties to step back from the brink," he said. He also repeated calls for a ceasefire in Gaza, a return of the hostages and a two-state solution

In a moment picked up online, Starmer misspoke while discussing conflict in the Middle East, and called for the “return of the sausages” in Gaza. He then corrected that to "hostages". Watch that moment below:

I've been getting reaction to Starmer's speech at Labour's conference here in Liverpool.

"I wanted to feel inspired and I wanted to feel proud of the man I helped get elected," Jane Giddins tells me.

The 64-year-old from North East Somerset told me she felt "incredibly emotional" during his speech, which she felt was "refreshing" after 14 years of "despair" at the values of the people running the country.

She was particularly pleased when he said care workers should be given the same respect as the PM.

Franca Ofeimu, a councillor from Merton in London, told me Starmer's speech was "elegant" and "truthful" about the issues facing the country.

She added the overall effect was to rev up Labour supporters to "bring back a sense of community".

The announcement that Aberdeen will be the Scottish city where GB Energy will be headquartered has been long overdue.

It was a very badly kept secret in relevant circles and there was an expectation it would be made weeks ago.

To many, Aberdeen seemed like the natural choice as the oil and gas capital of Europe, but there was talk of Inverness and Edinburgh.

Now attention will turn to how this flagship Labour policy will transform Britain’s energy and more importantly bring down those energy bills.

Starmer in his speech earlier announced changes to social housing allocations for vulnerable groups - here's more detail from Labour on what those plans are:

Veterans, domestic abuse victims and care leavers will be given better access to social housing, according to the party.

It says rules that unfairly penalise these groups, including proving a local connection to the area they are applying to, will be scrapped.

The policy will mean veterans, young care leavers and domestic abuse victims will be able to apply for social housing in any local authority in the UK for life.

Labour adds that current local connection requirements are pushing vulnerable people into homelessness - with veterans often dislocated from their communities having spent years overseas, and domestic abuse victims and young carers often having to leave their local areas for their own safety.

Local councils have been told to prioritise these groups and a bill will be also be brought forward "when parliamentary time allows", Labour says.

Keir Starmer's barely off the stage Liverpool - but the verdict from Conservative leadership candidate Robert Jenrick is already in.

"This was the speech of a prime minister at the end of his five-year term, not three months in. Sir Keir is already a busted flush - a Mr Grey, with a dour plan for the UK," he says.

"Behind all the rhetoric there was no substance. How can Starmer have no plan to grow the economy, reform the NHS or control and reduce immigration after 14 years? It appears he is too distracted with sleaze, infighting and chaos in Downing Street."

Starmer ends to long, rolling applause from the conference audience.

"People said we couldn't change the party, but we did. People said we wouldn't win across Britain, but we did, people say we can't deliver national renewal, but we can and we will."

He says his government will "stabilise the economy, clear out the Tory rot, fix the foundations and deliver a mandate for change".

He then hugs and kisses his wife, Victoria, as he thanks the audience.
