The Labour party conference is in full swing in Liverpool, with key speeches expected from Anas Sarwar and Rachel Reeves today.
Hot on the heels of the Conservative party conference in Manchester, the Labour conference takes place from Sunday to Tuesday (October 8-10) and will set about the party's key plans for the UK if it seizes power.
Bolstered by the success of the party's "seismic" victory in the Rutherglen and Hamilton West by-election, Labour is eyeing up the possibility of beating the SNP in Scotland and winning the next general election.
Here's how to watch the Labour party conference live, key speeches taking place on Monday (October 9) and what to expect.
