> Britain’s governing Labour Party is holding its annual conference in Liverpool, where the cost of living has emerged as the main concern for delegates and voters. Prime Minister Andy Burnham remains personally popular and Labour has edged ahead in the polls, but the party faces a difficult economic reality. About 70 percent remain dissatisfied with the government, while many think Britain is heading in the wrong direction amid high inflation.
