From tactics to take on the new prime minister through to tensions with the unions, it is going to be a busy few days for Sir Keir Starmer and the membership.
After a quiet period for politics following the death of the Queen, it is now back in full flow, and the curtailed conference season is about to kick off in Liverpool with Labour's annual gathering.
Due to the Queen's passing, we have yet to see many exchanges between the two party leaders, but there was one thing made clear during their first week opposite one another -The attack lines from Sir Keir will now have to be more nuanced and focused on these policy divides, rather than the arguably easy targets of her predecessor around standards and behaviour.
The party was born from the trade union movement and some of the biggest organisations - including Unison, Unite, and the GMB - are all affiliated to Labour, playing a big part in its ruling body , and hold members representing half of the delegation heading to conference. Sir Keir has also moved away from previous pledges in his leadership campaign on renationalising utility companies, angering the same subsection of the party, and it won't be a surprise to see this topic, along with inflation-matching pay rises, coming up on the conference hall floor.
The coming days will be a big opportunity for the party to lay out more eye-catching policies to win over the support of voters who are fearful of the months ahead.Another major problem area across the country is the NHS and social care. Ambulances are queueing up outside hospitals unable to hand over patients, the waiting lists for operations are at an all-time high, and there are record vacancies in an already worn out workforce.
He also scoffed at the limit of a two-week wait for a GP appointment as proposed by Ms Coffey, pointing to a policy under the last Labour government to be seen within 48 hours. Could that policy be back on the table?
