This is the best summary I could come up with:


Labour will need to override local opposition to deliver its plans for more housing, Sir Keir Starmer has warned.

The Labour leader told the BBC he would "bulldoze away" restrictive planning rules, and take on MPs and councils to build more homes.

In his speech to the party's annual conference on Tuesday, Sir Keir promised that, if elected, Labour would deliver more homes to "build a new Britain".

The hour-long address, which was interrupted by a protester showering the Labour leader with glitter, came on the penultimate day of the four-day gathering in Liverpool.

Sir Keir said a victory for Labour, which has a commanding lead in opinion polls, could herald a "decade of national renewal" after 13 years of Tory-led government.

At the heart of the speech was a plan to use dedicated state-backed companies to build a wave of new towns near English cities, echoing those built by Labour after the Second World War.
