On stage in Liverpool, Albanese vowed to “defend democracy itself” as the two leaders embraced, against the backdrop of swirling rumours about a potential leadership challenge to Starmer. Meanwhile, back home, the Opposition criticised Albanese, saying he “crossed the line” by addressing the conference.
