the labour party. trade unions on left and right, businesses, ordinary party members and the vast majority of labour party voters support us. if this is an area where jeremy is serious about listening to labour vote rs serious about listening to labour voters we do need to move in the interest, notjust in the labour party but any interests of britain. a brief one if i may, come at the election, will be labour party ma nifesto election, will be labour party manifesto contain a commitment to remain in the single market? that is difficult to say, when will the next election be? will it be spring? would it be christmas? things can change very quickly indeed. we need to be ready with a coherent, attractive and clear position to put to the writ issued people. ben bradshaw, that is a interesting view. thank you. mr corbyn dominates his party now in terms of political thinking and organisation, but on brexit, as across the political divide, there are profound divisions in this party about the approach and that

my view is the labour party must move to the centre ground but the state that is not the labour party... you still think that? yes, i have been to several party political conferences from both sides, this is the first time i've been at a party conference that essentially has been a victory rally after an electoral defeat. this is the one thing that is missing. yes there is that sense of energy and excitement and enthusiasm. but the one thing missing from this conference is any kind of analysis of why theresa may is still in government, while she and the conservative party got more votes than the labour party at the last election. and that is the missing ingredient. i think the last election demonstrated most people in political commentary have ideas about how to win elections and they were wrong. really no one called the selection, no one expected a hung parliament. colleagues of mine suggested that on the news and there were laughed at. and so this idea that we must return to these old modes of politics, old modes of campaigning that have been proven wrong by this election, ijust thi

the mentioned the labour party. the 0bserver lead on labour some mps, about 30 labour mps, they say, who wa nt about 30 labour mps, they say, who want the labour party to commit to a full and permanent membership of the single market and the customs union asa single market and the customs union as a clear alternative to the tories on europe? this goes back to your point in fact calling a general election would have a very real threat of labour coming into government from the conservative point of view. so, perhaps more than in recent years, the opposition party's view on this is critically important. if the snap election was to be triggered this could be government policy very soon. the fa ct government policy very soon. the fact the labour party isn't quite sure of whether or not they want to be market of single market, this is a critical foundational point of negotiation. if both the major parties don't seem to know what's going to happen that creates a huge amount of flux over what will happen with the british po

clearly a lot of people in the labour party wa nt lot of people in the labour party wantjeremy lot of people in the labour party want jeremy corbyn to come out and really set out their stall in a much clearer way about wanting the labour party to be part of the uk being in the single part —— the single market and customs union. they want to differentiate their offer from the tories and also pointing out that they want to be the government in waiting that is united on the eu position as opposed to conservatives as believed to seem in the newspapers who are plotting amongst each other and still do not on actually their vision on brexit. there is a fundamental an anomaly here, we always thought thatjeremy corbyn was pro—brexit. is he now positioning himself as an remainer question at all very confusing for many people reading these stories, they would be perplexed because during the campaign we definitely saw during the campaign we definitely saneremy corbyn as pro—brexit. he never said anything to the contrary and now positioning himself as a kind of proto— remainer. and now p

and what makes the labour party special, what makes the labour party special, what makes the labour party special, what makes the labour party one of the leading progressive parties in europe is notjust that leading progressive parties in europe is not just that we will manage this country and run this country better than the conservative party, because politics is notjust about management, what makes the labour party special is that we have always been the party which works to help people fulfil their aspirations and dreams for themselves and their children. it is that message of hope that helped us achieve the amazing results we achieved in the last general election. and it is that message of hope which will help us when the coming general election and putjeremy when the coming general election and put jeremy corbyn into when the coming general election and putjeremy corbyn into number ten. applause applause a standing ovation for diane abbott, the shadow home secretary, saying there had been a stunning advance this year at the general election. she said some said they would be annihila

the labour party is now, very much becoming mr corbyn‘s party, the moderate, are on the back foot. the membership now have a much bigger voice. and in turn, that feeds through into the policy agenda, that has become much more explicitly corbyn policy. the labour party really has changed fundamentally sincejeremy corbyn really has changed fundamentally since jeremy corbyn became really has changed fundamentally sincejeremy corbyn became leader. it's a bigger party, much more left—leaning, and i think that will continue. a lovely sunny morning in brighton. we have followed coverage from the labour conference wrote the date starting at 11am. we'll have the speech of the shadow home secretary, diane abbott, live here on bbc news. but that ”am. millions of germans have begun voting in the country's parliamentary elections. the chancellor, angela merkel, is expected to win a fourth term in office. opinion polls also suggest the nationalist, anti—immigrant "alternative for germany" party will become the first far—right movement to enter parliament since the second world war. our c

let's return to the labour party conference. we are expecting to hear from jeremy corbyn at the level. there is a rally taking place. yes, and he will be telling his supporters that the country has the opportunity from great change, and that labour is the party to bring about that change. people talk about the fact that the labour party itself is being transformed under his leadership, and that the party is getting itself ready for government whenever an election might be called. we should remember this is the first time the whole of the labour party has had a chance to get together since the general election earlier this year, when jeremy corbyn did much better than many people expected him to do. he brought back an extra 30 mps to westminster, the pretty‘s membership now stands at close to 600,000. that makes it the biggest political party across europe. there will be plenty of celebrations over the next few days. behind all that, there is some tension there are some divisions over a couple of issues. there will be robust de

we don't want a labour party that's a top down labour party that's a top down labour party. we want a labour party which involves and harnesses the enthusiasm of our members and remember, without all the new members and without all that enthusiasm, we wouldn't have won the seats we did in the last general election. yet people have voted for the mps, not the grass—roots members. so as the labour party conference when you say people are going to hear about a government, a labour party that is ready to go into government, it's not getting to hear from the ones that we elected. you know, one of the things that helped us in the general election was our manifesto. i've never known a labour manifesto that popular with the general public. so what we're looking at is not individuals. we're looking at is not individuals. we're looking at is not individuals. we're looking at the party. we're looking at the manifesto. we're looking at our values and that is what i believe will take us to victory at the next general election. why does the next general election. why does the leader of a

but there are others in the labour party who think that is a dangerous road to go down. 30 labour mps signing this open later calling for labour party policy to change for the country to be in a single market even after brexit. i spoke to them are far greater manchester, andy burnham. he said the danger of those who voted for brexit and those who voted remain even as well, there is a danger that their wishes and ignored. caroline flint, who was on the side of the remain adamant, also agrees it might not be the best road for colleagues to go down. agrees it might not be the best road for colleagues to go downli agrees it might not be the best road for colleagues to go down. i did not see how we can stay a member of the single market and leave the eu. because if we got that, why wouldn't many of the other 27 members of the year choose that option as well? that is not on the table. what i do wa nt that is not on the table. what i do want is as close as access is possible to the single market and thatis possible to the single market and that is why we have to transpose into law many a yea

and just in general, how united is the labour party? we have been looking at front pages in the papers all about civil war in the tory party but isjeremy corbyn, after doing better than expected in the election, is he now master of all he surveys in the labour party? pretty much, yes. the last time we were in brighton, i think two years ago, i spent most of my time running around after labour mps questioning them how long jeremy corbyn could survive. this morning on the andrew mark programme, he said he wanted to macro terms as prime minister. that gives you a sense of how his expectations have changed. the truth is, the moderates have been beaten for the time being in terms of organisation, in terms of ideas and in terms of position in the party. they are on the back foot and they know it. does that mean they are signed up tojeremy corbyn‘s agenda? not really. they disagree with him fundamentally on a number of issues, particularly the economy, his attitude towards business and i suspect on europe. they have gone silent, they have no

notjust for the conservative party but for the labour party as well. about what exactly the nature of our relationship will be with the eu once we have left, whence brexit happens. a lot of that discussion is about the single market, whether we just have a close relationship, tariff free access or whether we actually remain in it. that is what people here, some of them and indeed calling for. i am sure you can hear them. let's discuss this more. i enjoyed by labour mp, caroline flint. you were a remain campaigner. do you think we should stay in the single market? i don't see how we can stay a member of the single market and leave the european union. i don't think that is going to be on offer. cos if we got that, why wouldn't many of the other 27 members of the eu choose that option as well? i don't think that is on the table. i want as close as accessed to that market as possible. that is why we have to transpose into law many eu regulations to make sure the regulations covering goods, policy and sort of making sure the trade passes smoothly, that happ

you are at the labour party conference. the big ideological divide between the two main parties, webster hasn't always been. clearly huge ideological differences and maybe this speech that she made defending free—market capitalism as the jeremy that she made defending free—market capitalism as thejeremy corbyn talked a lot of that socialism, did that accentuate that?” talked a lot of that socialism, did that accentuate that? i think there's a big difference. a different author in the way there hasn't been in some time. and it is interesting that it resonated, the labour party attacking on economic policy and wealth redistribution, resonated and went down well with the public, but anyway this is a continuation of the two stories we have just continuation of the two stories we havejust done. continuation of the two stories we have just done. theresa continuation of the two stories we havejust done. theresa may continuation of the two stories we have just done. theresa may really just not understanding how much damage ha

is this the day the labour party changed phonetically? the conference is voting to give mps less power, and members more say in future leadership elections. policy is changing, too. labour is now an anti—austerities party, proposing spending cuts and at a fringe meeting last month, the shadow chancellor seemed to suggest this is creating new enemies. plans will be needed to oppose a tax on a left—wing labour government, including a potential one on the pound. we will face all the challenges that i am sure you discussed before i got here. and we have got a scenario plan for those. that is exactly what we are doing at the moment, bringing the relevant expertise together at every level to talk through what happens if, what happens if there is such and such reaction. what if there is a run on the pound ? reaction. what if there is a run on the pound? what happens if there is this concept of capital flight? i don't think there will, but you never know. we have got a scenario plan for that. and this former shadow minister thinks the threat

and real pressure from some of the party for labour to ta ke from some of the party for labour to take a much tougher stance on staying inside the single market. already, jeremy corbyn has moved significantly on the issue. when he first became leader he wanted to trigger article 50 straightaway, there was no question we were leaving the single market. over the summer leaving the single market. over the summer he has accepted that we are going to stay in the single market during a transitional phase. now the demand is coming from some of his mps, some of his unions, and i suspect many of his young supporters too, that labour should commit in the long—term to staying inside the single market. the argument they are now making is that ifjeremy corbyn wa nts to now making is that ifjeremy corbyn wants to stand up against austerity, the best way to do that is to remain in the single market because of the economic impact of leaving. however, when you listen to the labour leader on the andrew marr programme this morning, it seems to me he was giving a bit of a slap back to the idea he will d

john mills — one of the labour party's biggest donors — says the party need to be wary about what they can promise. my my concerns are that we are inheriting, or the labour party when it is elected, will inherit a pretty wea k it is elected, will inherit a pretty weak economy from the conservative government we have had for the last few years. and a lot of the promises that were made are going to be expensive. there is a plan for raising the money through taxation, putting up corporation tax and so forth, but i think there will be real challenge is to make sure this all hangs together. john mills, one of the labour party's biggest donors. 11 men have been arrested as part of an investigation into the banned neo—nazi group, national action. the men — who are aged between 22 and 35 — were detained in the north—west of england, west yorkshire, wiltshire and south—wales. they're being held under terror laws and police say the arrests relate to threats against individuals, not communities. daniel sandford reports. raided this morning by counterterrorism police, the home in warring

actually, corbin's labour party, in terms of labour history is quite conservative in labour tradition, it was tony blair who was the radical, who shifted the party way off its original base and what corbin is talking about is taxing people in order to have a good welfare state, which is what the labour party was all about. tony blair suggested not win if you did that because britain had changed.“ is worth remembering, people forget, tony blair's manifesto in 1997, which he won, was incredibly radical. he had a £5 billion windfall tax just radical. he had a £5 billion windfall taxjust ripping money off in the utilities because they had been so badly privatised. but he had a whole series of very radical policies and now people regard him as, iraq war tony blair, people forget. does that suggest it isjust about how you dress this thing up because he was doing radical stuff but saying we are very responsible and serious and getting away with it, jeremy corbyn husein were doing radical stuff and we will see if he does, if he becomes by minister, and he is just picked does, if he become

my mates in the labour party who tend to be on the moderate wing, people who would not have supported jeremy corbyn for the leadership and still have severe doubts about it, long faces, not quite sure what they are supposed to be doing, not quite sure what their tactics are going forward , sure what their tactics are going forward, and they are keeping their heads down. that gives the impression of unity in the labour party and that is a good impression to project because people do not like divided parties, but the doubts are still there, as fundamental as they have ever been. and they did look like characters in a hostage video. you would hope that someone from the moderate wing of the labour party, an mp, former cabinet minister would have spoken out and raised the question you raised their about the reality of how is labour going to win another 64 seats? there isa going to win another 64 seats? there is a possibility that corbyn has peaked but he has convinced people he is in the form of progress in british politics. i think most people recognise now is not the time to speak out. a

it was a big mistake by the tory party. the other thing was, labour didn't tory party. the other thing was, labourdidn‘t win! tory party. the other thing was, labour didn't win! from the coverage of this conference you would think they did! that's 32. the independent. jeremy corbyn calls the common—sense revolution, rationalisation to dominate key speech, this is claimed as the new centre ground. one that many of the papers have on their front pages, tomorrow. extracts from what jeremy corbyn is expected to say in his big speech. i think this is the most interesting thing. he says he will replace the thatcher economic model entirely. i remember ed miliband saying similar things. entirely. i remember ed miliband saying similarthings. if entirely. i remember ed miliband saying similar things. if you ask what that actually means, it means spending much more on public services, and in jeremy spending much more on public services, and injeremy corbyn's case, it means nationalising a lot of things. i'm not sure if that is an entirely new economic model.m might not be new,

the labour party is to london centric. i have said it before and it will keep saying it until it is addressed. what about this idea of members of the party taking all those co nfe re nce the party taking all those conference and having a bigger say oi'i conference and having a bigger say on policy? are you pleased about that? yes, that is a good thing. there is a record number of delegates here. it is part of the renewal of politics we want to see. there has been of your politics being too and scripted. it is better to see ordinary voice is coming through, but also, people need to you from elected labour politicians around the country. it is about getting the balance right. realistic policies, is that something you're concerned about? the manifesto clearly caught mood. it was a great success clearly caught mood. it was a great success forjamie clearly caught mood. it was a great success for jamie damage clearly caught mood. it was a great success forjamie damage only, —— jeromy. if i had £1 billion to share oi'i jerom

is this the day the labour party changed definitively? the conference is voting to give mps less power, and members more say in future leadership elections. policy is changing, too. labour is now an anti—austerity party, commmited to opposing spending cuts and pay restraints. and at a fringe meeting last night, the shadow chancellor seemed to suggest this is creating new enemies. plans would be needed to oppose a tax on a left—wing labour government, including a potential run on the pound. we will face all the challenges that i am sure you discussed before i got here and paul mentioned as well. and we have got a scenario plan for those. that is exactly what we are doing at the moment, bringing the relevant expertise together at every level to talk through what happens if, what happens if there is such and such reaction. what if there is a run on the pound? what happens if there is this concept of capital flight? i don't think there will, but you never know. so we have got a scenario plan for that. and this former shadow minister think

the party's membership is now nearly 600,000, making labour are the biggest political party across europe. expect lots of celebrations over the next few days, despite the fact the party did not do well enough to get into government. i think they will be lots of pats on the back about how well they didn't do. nevertheless, some tensions lurking beneath the scenes. 0ne some tensions lurking beneath the scenes. one particular area that has come up in recent days is the balance of power between the members, and those in the parliamentary party, the elected politicians. in fact, there had been a question as to whether the labour party figures, like the mayor of london sadiq khan, and the narrow greater manchester, would be given a platform to make big speeches. jeremy corbyn was out visiting a local table tennis club in brighton this morning and defended the decisions that have been made about who would get to speak and how long. it's a conference for everybody, the largest labour party conference has ever been. we have tried to rebalance the speaking arrangements so that there are fewer and s

party. —— rife in the labour party. the examples that have been repeated in the media, many have been reported in accurately, and only a very few seem to be genuine examples of anti—semitism. i just wonder why you have chosen to invest so much in this, as you would say, as a signal of something that is so very wrong. i would wonder why someonejewish would choose to say what he said. there arejews who think... i do know who he is talking about because any number ofjews feel as i know about this and encourage me to speak out as i do. there is a great deal of anxiety. it isn't that i feel that if i walked intojeremy corbyn in a room he would punch me on the nose and call me a dirtyjew, but i think what he would do is look sneeringly at my concerns, he would not take my point that there is a kind of anti—zionism which does morph into anti—semitism. he wouldn't believe it. he is an idealogue. he has believed for a long time, the palestinian cause is a good cause, i don't dismiss or deride the palestinian cause, but it

applause labour is the only party with a plan to tackle rising crime and labour is the only party standing behind the men and women of our emergency services and labour is the only party making a real difference in towns and cities across the uk. a labour government will finally put an end to years of tory cuts, to our emergency services and a labour government, led byjeremy corbyn, will finally give our emergency services the proper pay rise they so desperately deserve. applause it's labour in london, manchester, liverpool and wales that has a real plan to tackle violent crime like gun crime, knife crime and acid attacks. it's labour that's finally making social integration and community cohesion a priority. so we can put a stop to the grooming and radicalisation of our young people. it's labour that's finally made hate crime and violence against women and girlsa top crime and violence against women and girls a top priority for the police. and tis labour that's restoring community trust in our police by making our emergency services more reflective of the communities they serve. you know,

and it is a united labour party position. it is a u—turn, because it wasn't long ago thatjeremy corbyn was sacking people for saying much the same thing? no. it's not a u—turn. it is a development of our policy. on the question of what are the terms of the transitional arrangements, labour has never said anything other than we retain the benefits of the single market and the customs union. we believe we can have a relationship with the single market. we think that will overcome a lot of the perceived dis—benefits that were highlighted during the referendum campaign, and maintain a lot of the existing benefits. now, again that has to be negotiated. our issue all the way along is that the government isn't serious about these negotiations. that's why we said you need to have a transitional period in which we remain in the single market and the customs union, to give us time to have a proper transition and a proper negotiated process. let's talk to four labour supporters. john mcmahon is a remainer, christopher barbour is a

you have won the argument in the labour party. the argument in the party has been about our role as a party and rejuvenating our economy and society. it's really exciting. exciting for him, exciting for many here. yet even senior labour figures harboured doubts, is this a powerful fad, or really the government of the future? laura is at the conference in brighton for us now. how do we read this? it could be a hint of how radical labour is planning to be. let's be clear, the labour leadership is not saying they would like to see a run on the pound, nothing like it. but what is absolutely clear is the scale of the changes they want to make to the country and the pushback they think they would get if they were to enter downing street. it might be so dramatic that they ought to be planning for all kinds of consequences. it was perhaps a bit surprise in to hear them sounding relatively casual about that prospect, but it is also politically so important because it's a huge reminder of how different they are to the labour party that has

the labour party wa nts to 70,000 per year. the labour party wants to cut out between 20 and 30,000. domestic issues at the heart of this campaign and like most campaigns around the world, is economy, jobs and money that will mean the most to new zealanders when they voting today's election. on monday — voters in kurdish—controlled areas of northern iraq are due to head to polling stations to say whether they want their autonomous region to become an independent state. the central government in baghdad, iraq's neighbours and western powers want the referendum to be cancelled — but the kurds have refused. bbc arabic‘s radwa gamal spoke to people in the regional capital — irbil. people gather in this market to have a cup of tea, shop and a chat about life but these days, one topic has been dominating conversations that is referendum on independence. but why it is it the kurds feel they can no longer stay as part of iraq? that is what i am here today to find out. he made his name by painting the american flag in his own

you have the labour party ina discipline. you have the labour party in a suppressed civil war. they have had a good election and jeremy corbyn is riding high that under the surface there is discontent about the extreme left. i entered my party are the alternative. you think you can go from a party getting 7% of the vote to one that wins an overall majority ina to one that wins an overall majority in a couple of years? it is possible. if british party politics breaks up, the traditional structures break up, which could happen, we are well—positioned with moderate, sensible policies, a good track record of government. we have good experience in government and local level. what you may find it is there is a shift of opinion in our direction. i am confident about talking about being an alternative prime minister. sir vince cable a few months ago was writing a novel and thought his time in politics was done but then we have a snap election and he was propelled into being the new lib dem leader. instead of getting back to writing books, he now has a serious challenge on his hands.

in the history of the labour partym of the seminal moments in the history of the labour party. it was inspirational. what about the family? what did you think?m inspirational. what about the family? what did you think? it was wonderful. it was awesome. it has been many years as a political speech has made people feel like this. jeremy corbyn has changed, and labour has changed. after two years and nearly constant bickering, the leader is now in total control. —— labour. sustained by the hopes of his legions of followers that even inside this bubble of confidence, a bit of the party, there is an awareness that they cannot count on that forever or rely on the excitement you can see and feel here in brighton, sending him to number ten. a hugejob, still, to carry that feeling to every corner. ground shifts, yes, the country's edges are forever moving, but it is for you, not any politician, to draw the lines. laura kuenssberg, bbc news. in bristol, police officers who shot dead a driver this morning near the m5 say they were responding to reports that he was carrying a gun. witn

as a result of the decision the labour party took in government, we now have to pay more on debt interest than on nhs pay. and a labour peer tries again to end hereditary by—elections in the lords. we had a by—election last year, i have to say this slowly because it is unbelievabl — where there was an electorate of three and there were seven candidates. it was no surprise that the first week back after the summer break was dominated by brexit. talks on the terms of the uk leaving the eu had continued over the summer with both sides expressing frustration over the pace of progress. in the commons, david davis provoked laughter in the chamber on monday when he told mps that no—one had ever said the negotiations were going to be easy. while on wednesday, at prime minister's questions, a conservative mp tackled theresa may over the powers contained in the eu withdrawal bill, which mps were due to begin debating later in the week. the bill repeals the european communities' act of 1972, and also transfers eu laws into uk legislation. while some rules and regulations will simply transfer

the labour party has dealt with that. it is not dealt with it. it had the worst enquiry you could imagine. it was an inquiry that lasted about three weeks. lots of people were invited to submit their thoughts. i submitted some thoughts. no sign at all that the lady leading the inquiry had read them, or that she'd read very, very much submitted byjewish thinkers and writers and talkers. the inquiry was — the inquiry found almost nothing. it was framed in the crudest possible language, saying that some things make people uncomfortable, and so we should change the words a little. the rabbi says — he is talking of his group in thejewish community — "we don't accept that anti—semitism is right on the labour party. " the examples that have been repeated in the media, many have been reported inaccurately, and only a very few seem to be genuine examples of anti—semitism. i just wonder why you have chosen to invest so much in this, as you would say, as a signal of something that is so very wrong. i would wonder why someonejewish would choose to

we heard in a rally labour becoming a social movement rather than a conventional political party. this is the first year he has not faced a challenge for leadership and he will use that to consolidate his leadership ambition of what he thinks the labour party should be. an interesting week. much more on the bbc news channel from brighton tomorrow. we hear that police in lancashire are saying a number of people are being treated at the scene of a reported gas explosion. police say they attended an incident ina police say they attended an incident in a guesthouse on charles street in blackpool. fire and rescue and ambulance attended. a safety cordon has been put in place and residents evacuated. time for a round—up of the sport. good evening. plenty to get through, but let‘s start with manchester city, who have scored another five goals today against crystal palace. that‘s 16 goals in their last three premier league games without reply, which puts city top of the premier league on goal difference. city didn‘t get their first goal untiljust before half time. leroy sane the on

but the labour party with its high taxes and high debt, will have fewer jobs in the labour party will destroy our economy is a did last time. we had it sorted out and the only people who paid the price for the labour party are ordinary working families. >> i would. [inaudible] even today is the nsu back to british every day will my right honorable friend join me in recognizing the huge contributions farming makes to our economy and economy and in our clear determination to deliver a brexit that works for britain will she ensure the brexit works for britain's farmers as well? >> i'm happy to join my honorable friend in marking the british farming day and recognizing the enormous contribution that is made by the farming industry to our economy and as he applies in this question being in the eu does give us an opportunity for culture will be able to design policies for agricultural industry that help our food and farming industry that suit the united kingdom and suit our underside and environment. yes, i'm happy to back british farming day and yes, we will make a success of leaving the e

from the right of the party right the way through to the common—sense socialist wing of the labour party. ifjeremy corbyn did it without these changes, doesn't that suggest you don't need to do this at all? there's a range of recommendations which have been made. i think it's important we don't have a situation where mps could act as gatekeepers and prevent a candidate who would potentially be popular with the wider membership from getting onto the ballot paper. that would lead to huge frustrations and be damaging to the party's electoral prospects. we want to make sure we get into power to change people's lives and change the country. i agree with that, i think we should have members getting more involved in campaigning. me and chris will have worked with campaigners from labour first, progress, momentum. the party was united in the election campaign. what we are seeing today is not a report into how we harness members into becoming a campaigning force, it's how do we fiddle around with the rules in order to consolidate power to the left. i think at this point, what is the point in havi

it's two years sincejeremy corbyn became leader of the labour party. we'll be looking at his time as leader so far and what it means for the party. how do you turn round a failing school? and how do you get buy in from parents? the new head of one failing secondary school has come in for some stick after introducing strict new rules such as banning mobile phones and telling pupils to be in bed by 9.30pm to improve pupil performance. pupils who say they feel sick during classes will be given a bucket to throw up in. but great yarmouth charter academy has some of the worst gcse results in the country, so shouldn't parents back any measures to turn it round? the headteacher of that particular school wasn't able tojoin us this morning. let's speak to kevin and emma seal. their daughterjust started at the school as a new year 7 student. they were so appalled at the rules, they started a facebook group for worried parents that has had hundreds of subscribers. gail smith, who has three children at the school — two of which started this week and she says she

labour veterans feel they have their party back. i'm telling you, the party and the leadership is alive. you've dreamt for decades to hear this, taking them back. and now it is as natural as night following day. it is so simple and that is what nye bevan and clement attlee did in 1945. do you know what the end of that five—year period was? unemployment was down to 2.2%. the country was skint and yet somehow or other they did all those wonderful things including education, free for all from the cradle to grave. you're seeing an absolute rejection by so many people, not only in the uk but across europe, a position whereby people have rejected austerity. people are fed up with austerity and labour offer an alternative. dotted around the lanes and alleys of brighton, the korbin supporting momentum group are in their own conference at a series of venues. now there has been a legitimisation of the movement we are focusing on having those key conversations, labour is potentially on the brink of government, what do we want to live in? thi

let's get more on the first day of the labour party conference in brighton. the shadow home secretary told the conference that cuts to pleasing had been very damaging and pledged to recruit 10,000 new police officers. i have represented and inner—city community for over 30 years. i know it is the poor, women and minorities who suffer most from crying. i have always ta ken who suffer most from crying. i have always taken fighting crime seriously and i will continue to do so as seriously and i will continue to do so as labour home secretary. and the reality of the tory record on law and order is a long way from their rhetoric. since 2010, theresa may has been home secretary and now prime minister, but on her watch the numbers of police officers has dropped by 20,000. {2.3 billion has been cut from police budgets. the truth is, austerity undermines policing and community safety in just the same way that it undermines out just the same way that it undermines our health service. we see the consequences of our health service. we see the consequences of this aroun
