Divisions haven't gone away but Labour is coalescing in opposition to Tory policies, says the BBC's Iain Watson.
And they believe that those first-time Conservative voters in former Labour seats will be open to looking not just at the parties' policies, but how these will be paid for.
Labour believes clearer political divisions will give it an opportunity to solidify its current poll lead and win back lost support.There is, nonetheless, unease amongst some shadow and some former Labour ministers that the dividing lines are being clearly drawn by the Conservatives' actions, and not by Labour's own initiatives.
I'm told that this will manifest itself in policy announcements at conference but as one source put it: "But not too many - we want them to be heard and to sink in."But as well as individual policies there needs to be overall narrative - a political story to tell.At this week's meeting of Labour's ruling national executive, Keir Starmer promised he would set out a plan for Britain which would include some "robust propositions".
As one shadow minister had a message to progressive-minded voters: "There is a coalition on the left - and it's called Labour.It's a sign of Sir Keir Starmer's confidence that the party conference will open with a rendition of the national anthem. However, Sunday's conference delegates will "prioritise" six topics for debate on the conference floor, and pro-leadership forces are attempting to stop this motion from making the cut.
Some shadow cabinet members are concerned that any debate would play in to the Conservatives hands - it could make Labour look like it can't win under the current system.But if it does, it would be made clear that it wouldn't automatically become a manifesto commitment.
