it up, john iii u; v ilsa "m (def wan" headline sums it up, john mcdonnell the shadow chancellor earlier this morning said we are unlikely to rerun the referendum of 2016 and if we have people's vote it will be only about the nature of the deal, and the option of remaining in the eu would not be on the table, but a few hours later, his brexit secretary, seems to contradict him, saying we were not ruling out options and nobody is ruling out the main, so there does seem to be some disjunction between those two pieces. chuka umunna says trying to sell at people's vote without i remain option would be like selling a car without a reverse gear —— without a remain option. but it would be idiotic, there is such clamourfor a second would be idiotic, there is such clamour for a second referendum that is not to give people the remain option would seem perverse. 60 million people voted to remain in the last referendum so not to give them another chance to address that would be perverse ——. them another chance to address that would be perverse --. mixed messages here within their own party a

that is correct, john mcdonnell has talked up correct, john mcdonnell has talked up possibly that could reach up to £2 billion. social impact funding. you are right to say that if the improvements in productivity and efficiency do not offset the amount thatis efficiency do not offset the amount that is levied, effectively, that is an additional cost for employers to have to deal with. at the moment it is farfrom have to deal with. at the moment it is far from clear that those games will be realised to make it sort of fiscally neutral as you have described it. also, there is the sort of putting all of your eggs into one basket type of thing. if you get your wage from your employer, you probably have your pension with them and also we are suggesting you get your income from shares with your employer. shiers tangle up and down and the success of the forum will determine your financial future. absolutely, of the forum will determine your financialfuture. absolutely, the first thing that anyone will have to think about when investing is to diversify their holdings. if something goes well or

john mcdonnell said in other countries it takes more productive. shares for workers is a good idea and businesses do back it. what is more of a problem is making it compulsory at 1% and 10% levels. 0ther compulsory at 1% and 10% levels. other countries do not do that. what we really need to worry about is investment in the uk. businesses have been resilient in the face of brexit uncertainty but they are asking questions about these policies which, nationalisation through to tax increases to pay caps, without this announcement, why invest in the uk when there are so many other choices? loss of investment would mean lower productivity and lower pay. the real worry is that harms the very people labour are trying to help. 0n nationalisation, the railways been nationalised, this seems to be a very popular argument, particularly when people look at it and think these companies have failed them. there must be some responsibility from these companies to a nswer responsibility from these companies to answer that. these are understandable concerns. anybody w

john mcdonnell said they want to spend £500 million and he said that would be a first step. away from that stuff, which seems crazy, what infuriates tory mps that i speak to is that the conservative party aren't anywhere to be seen on this stuff. you remember when theresa may came in and said she would help the just about managing, this whole thing on delivery workers, now it is labour setting out policies on this. they should have holiday pay and six —— sick pay. they should have holiday pay and six -- sick pay. and the government response to this is actually people wa nt response to this is actually people want flexible working but that is to co nflate want flexible working but that is to conflate the two. you can have flexible working without exploiting workers as well. this comes on the day the announcement wages is rising and unemployment is at a record low. we will get onto this intensive staff shortages but there is an argument that with fears around vacancies at a record high, but businesses will have to start paying more to attract people in when vacancies do go

john mcdonnell talking about how sad he is that mps are going to split away. yes, fears about this schism. the problem with this headline is that people might feel a bit of deja vu. this happened in 2016 when labour mps come in the parliamentary party, they voted by a huge number to get rid ofjeremy corbyn and he didn't budge. so why is he going to budge this time? one interesting thing in that piece is that tony blair is going to break his silence in an interview to be broadcast tomorrow on the handling of anti—semitism, and he says to see a situation where thejewish community feels really alienate and anxious, it is a really terrible thing to have done. i think gordon brown in one of the other papers, as well, is going to break his silence as well. that seems to be coming back this week. the other interesting thing in this story, there is another element to it, which is that according to this, jeremy corbyn didn't attend a briefing this week held by the head of mi5, in which she was going to be told about the threat from russian spies, the terrorist threat

more now that the shadow chancellor john mcdonnell says he's worried and saddened at the prospect of the labour party splitting amid the row about anti—semitism. mr mcdonnell says it's something he wants to avoid at all costs. it comes as thejewish labour movement holds its conference in north london. our correspondent simon jones is there for us. hi, simon. morning. the doors have just opened. they are expecting around 300 people, and the keynote speech is going to be a bit later on from the former prime minister, gordon brown. it will be adjusting to hear what he has to say about this whole issue of anti—semitism, which many are saying is engulfing the labour party. of course, the comments this morning by the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, and there is a risk that this issue could split the labour party. let's speak now to be chair ofjewish labour movement. what you make of the comments that the party could be split over this issue? there is busy deep divisions in the party of anti—semitism, and as i have said over the last few days, if we do not sort this matter out, it

john mcdonnell doesn't think staying in the eu should be an option. it is obvious where his instincts are. it'd be as if you are that original result. it is clear to see what was agreed. there was a tax put forward by the leadership saying options are a public vote on the terms of brexit. there could be a referendum between no deal and some deal. that piece of text was deleted, that is crucial. what we are relieved that left with is a public vote and all options on the table. i public vote and all options on the table. lam public vote and all options on the table. i am happy about that. what do you say to those people who are saying, there were millions of labour voters who voted for brexit, there are many areas of england where constituencies voted out. it look like you are just trying to rerun the first referendum. so much has changed since 2016. we were promised three and £50 million a week for the nhs and that has evaporated. trade deals around the world have not materialised. people have the right to look at what is being offered to them and the

in reponse, john mcdonnell said the comments were unacceptable. stop throwing yourself in front of tv cameras, inventing stories, and get out there and start campaigning for a labour government. unite with the rest of the party because what we want is a labour government as soon as possible. right across the country, there are 5,000 people sleeping rough, a million people without social care, our nhs in crisis, people on low—pay wages, below what they were in 2008. they're the issues we're dealing with, not internal disputes that he's trying to invent, or referring to our party members as dogs. unacceptable. earlier, i spoke to the labour mp clive lewis, who spent the day today with the shadow chancellor in nottinghamshire. i asked him whether the labour leadership should be taking notice of what someone like chuka umunna, a former frontbench spokesman, is saying about the labour party. this hasn't come from the leadership, but we're a party of which, over the past three years, elements of our parliamentary labour party have spent the past three

john mcdonnell coming forward with what could be said to be pretty radical ideas. what do you make this idea of forcing companies being forced to get shares are we? when this policy was first announced yesterday, not everyone walk up to quite how radical this is an dinner calls daylight, they have looked at this policy and realise it means all of britain's big companies, not some of them, but every company with more than 250 staff will have to hand over 10% of their ownership to the workers so on the one hand, great news if you're the unions or if you are the workers because you get these extra dividend is up to £500 a year, but from the perspective of business groups, shareholders, executives, this is getting into slightly nightmare territory and we are starting to get press releases from the cbi, the chamber of commerce, saying it is going to damage business confidence and investors at the wrong time, when companies are already calling quite vulnerable and scared because of brexit. due to the plan to be nationalised utilities is a bit less controversial? the rai

john mcdonnell seems to think today that there would be agreement on this issue that has been plaguing the labour party. what gordon brown has done to date with the fat of a preacher is set out quite the labour party should adopt in full, without caveats, the full international holocaust remembrance alliance definition of anti—semitism. i thought it was a great speech looted —— rooted in labour values and won the party should unite around. i've seen what john mcdonnell said about unity and the importance of tackling anti—semitism and i hope this can be anti—semitism and i hope this can be a basis of moving forward but i'm concerned that on tuesday's committee, it now seems they are saying they will support the ih ra definition in full but with a caveat that they will then consult on and i would say to every member of the nec that the reason we are in this mess is because it has been making decisions before consulting or engaging with the community most affected by this definition, the jewish community. unless the majority ofjewish jewish community. unless the majority of jewi

mcdonnell just yesterday. five years, which we had from john mcdonnelljust yesterday. and also we had john mcdonnell setting out plans to ensure that workers in the gig economy had the same rights as people in more conventional workplaces. but won brexit hangs over this conference like a great big thundercloud with massive pressure from party activists, some of the big unions, for labour to embrace a second referendum. so far, tea m embrace a second referendum. so far, team corbyn have tried to keep the door closed, saying, it is an option, we may look at it after an election. gradually, gradually, that door has been prised open and the deputy leader has now said if party members want a second referendum, then that would have to be party policy. jeremy corbyn, too, saying the same thing that he would abide by it if that is what the members wanted. the question is, how far will labour go? at the moment they're being fairly coy, have a listen to this... the people's vote we want is on... the people's vote we want is on, who do you want to run the country going forwards?

and i'm very glad to have heard john mcdonnell put forward the idea. have you talked tojohn mcdonnell about that programme? he is saying exactly some of the things you have said about that programme. i am proposing a social wealth fund where10% of the shares after every capital raising by companies go into a public wealth funds, and the dividends are distributed in the form of a universal basic dividend. whereas the labour party is divvying them up amongst the workers within those corporations. what i think is very important — remember this is not even in the manifesto yet. this is part of the liberal party conference, it may go in the manifesto, i hope it does. it is a fairly interesting discussion though that we must have, even the tories must have, about the division between capital and labour. put it differently, stephen, once upon a time when an industrialist bought a machine, the industrialist could claim the profits that the machine produced for the company. but these days of google and facebook, every time you search on your google search eng

the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, said he is confident that labour would resolve the issue. officialfigures suggest there‘s been sharp rise in the number of prison staff caught smuggling contraband such as drugs, weapons and mobile phones to inmates. more protests in the german city of kemnitz following the death of a german man alleged to have been killed by two migrants. sport and for a full round up, from the bbc sport centre. england have made a great start. they are chasing the title for 2115 to win the match. at lunch the tourists were 46 a3. a good session could

john mcdonnell wants to set out a distinctive agenda, one that has clear dividing lines, notjust with the conservatives, but with the labour governments of tony blair and gordon brown. he thinks new employment rights will appeal to younger voters. but critics say he is risking theirjobs. ian watson, bbc news, manchester. the shortage of staff in the nhs in england has been highlighted by new figures which show a big rise in the number of vacancies. it's currently looking for 107 thousand more staff. nhs improvement, which monitors the health service, says it's because of rising patient demand and more staff leaving. our health editor hugh pym is here — how worrying are these figures? they illustrate the intense and increasing pressures on the nhs and with winter approaching the flag up some possible areas of concern so let's ta ke some possible areas of concern so let's take a closer look at the figures for england. they show between april and june there were 6.23 million visits to a&e units. add english hospitals. that's a record. in response to that hospitals and other trusts have

you heard john mcdonnell there, critical of the language chukka umunna used but he also dismissed the idea of conspiracy altogether, said that chukka umunna should stop throwing himself around in front of tv cameras. labour says there is no conspiracy by the left—wing group momentum has called for a change to the party rules to make it easier to challenge sitting mps. they say that is just challenge sitting mps. they say that isjust in challenge sitting mps. they say that is just in favour of democracy. but all of this is likely to come to a head at the party conference later this month. for now, thank you, alex forsyth. sweden's prime minister has used the final day of campaigning in the country's general election to issue a warning about extremism and fascism. to issue a warning about opinion polls suggest stefan lofven's centre—left social democrats are unlikely to win a majority, and that the the anti—immigrant anti—eu sweden democrats will gain votes. cricket, and jos buttler has starred for england on the second day of the final test against india. for england on the sec

and we speak to the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell. that is coming up next here on bloomberg. ♪ anna: welcome back to the european open, on bloomberg television. we are 46 minutes into your trading day this monday. the uk's main opposition party says companies will be forced to hand over 10% of their equity to staff if the labour party wins the next election. under labor plans, share would be handed over at a rate of 1% per year with employees receiving up to 500 pounds. joining us now from the labour party conference in liverpool is the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell. great to have you with us once again on bloomberg television. let me put to use some of the responses that policy announcement has already received. the institute of direct heirs are calling -- is calling it draconian. >> you explained it. 1% each year over a 10 year perio. that is haidi lun -- that is hardly draconian. these organizations responding have been arguing for years that we need a stakeholder economy where employees have a stake in their companies. becom

the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, says it should only be about any final brexit deal, not whether or not britain leaves the eu. but the shadow brexit secretary says the motion is clear that nothing has been ruled out. from the party conference in liverpool, here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. the second day of the labour party conference and brexit is once again the dominant theme, members here will vote tomorrow on a proposal that could shift labour's policy. it was agreed by officials last night, they said if parliament does not back a "brexit" deal and there is no election, then labour could campaign for another public vote. shadow chancellor said it would be on the table. we accept the last referendum, we want a general election, if we can't get that, we wa nt election, if we can't get that, we want some form of democratic option, that could be a people's vote. he suggested staying in the eu would not be an option. my view at the moment is, look, parliament will decide what is on the ballot paper, we will be arguing it should be a vote on the deal itself. that isn

we're going to be talking to john mcdonnell a good to see you. we're going to be talking tojohn mcdonnell a little later on, but what is the tuc expecting to hear? good morning, dan and naga and everyone. it's no surprise the shadow chancellor will use his speech today to attack the conservative government, to say they're not doing enough to protect workers can. the particularfocus they're not doing enough to protect workers can. the particular focus of this speech will be about insecure workers, those working in the gig economy and those on zero hours contracts, and that's a theme we've already heard lots about over the last couple of days in manchester at the tuc congress, their annual event. it's an issue that's coming up event. it's an issue that's coming up again and again, the protection of those workers. john mcdonnell today will be talking about the idea that red red want to give those workers exactly the same rights and protections at work that everyone else has, those on more secure contracts —— labour. he says they will deal with t

john mcdonnell has stopped short of going that far, but he does say that the party need to sort out this issue as soon as the. he talked about his concern at the prospect of the parties littering. we saw rank field resigning from the party last week, citing anti—semitism as run of the reasons. —— frank field. back in the reasons. —— frank field. back in the 80s, we had four mps when that happens, it means that labour loses votes. the other thing that we have got happening today is the group is meeting. iam got happening today is the group is meeting. i am sure that the leadership will be paying closer attention to whatjewish mps and the jewish labour movement said today at that meeting. thank you very much. we are going to speak to louise ellman, mp, a little bit later in the programme. stay with us for that. there's been a big rise in the number of staff being caught smuggling banned items into prisons. the figures obtained by the observer newspaper show an increase of more than 50% over the past six years. but the prison service says this still represents a tiny proportion of

john mcdonnell is expected to tell the labour party conference that companies would have to put 1% of their shares into a fund every year. but the confederation of british industry says it would encourage investors to "pack their bags". the popularity of french president emmanuel macron have hit their lowest levels since the start of his term. he was criticised last week for telling an unemployed man he could get a job if he tried. mr macron‘s biggest challenge is the economy, but so far his pro—business reforms have failed to significantly reduce unemployment. that's it for the business briefing this hour. a public inquiry into a contaminated blood scandal, described as the worst treatment disaster in nhs history, opens today. thousands of patients needing transfusions in the 1970s and 1980s were given blood products from overseas infected with hepatitis c and hiv. at least 2,400 people have died as a result. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns reports. it was supposed to keep them alive but to many it was a death sentence. thousands of people were infected with hiv and hepa

and whether or not the party will split, asjohn mcdonnell whether or not the party will split, as john mcdonnell has whether or not the party will split, asjohn mcdonnell has been talking about. she is saying that that might have been enough three months ago to start the conversation, to have these discussions about amending the definition. but she is saying frankly, now that moment has passed, and she said, to applause, and she was at the jewish labour and she said, to applause, and she was at thejewish labour movement conference, so she was preaching to the quiet, but she said the problem is corbyn. it has been around for 100 years, and he has only been there for three damaging years —— choir. she like those other people are recognising there is a kernel of discontent around corbyn and his momentum, the fact that the dedicated, effective... she has extended the debate into allegations of bullying and intimidation towards the other members of the party. going back to the daily telegraph for our final story. drivers who fail roadside eye tests will have their licences revoked on th

john mcdonnell has been the labour side, thinking about whether they should be calling for break—up of the big four. greg clark, the business secretary, not quite saying that what you asked for a big audit into whether there are these compex of interest. again, this is the conservatives looking at fairness. they think that people feel, not incorrectly, that carillion collapsed, jobs were lost, bhs collapsed, jobs were lost, bhs collapsed, jobs were lost, bhs collapsed, jobs were lost, whose fault is a? is it the accountants? again it is trying to speak to that design for change that says that capitalism is not quite working in its current form. this is so much essential, i am amazed the big four have got away with this for so long. we have had the banking crisis, and the mps expense of crisis, this is the mps expense of crisis, this is the last of the institutions which needs examining. let's take carillion for example. the auditors signed off year after year their account when they had inflated their balance by £1 billion. and this is a company that had baked public sectors of the co

the headline sums it up, john mcdonnell the shadow chancellor earlier this morning said we are unlikely to rerun the referendum of 2016 and if we have people's vote it will be only about the nature of the deal, and the option of remaining in the eu would not be on the table, but a few hours later, his brexit secretary, seems to contradict him, saying we were not ruling out options and nobody is ruling out the main, so there does seem to be some disjunction between those two pieces. chuka umunna says trying to sell at people's vote without i remain option would be like selling a car without a reverse gear —— without a remain option. but it would be idiotic, there is such clamourfor a second would be idiotic, there is such clamour for a second referendum that is not to give people the remain option would seem perverse. 60 million people voted to

like len mccluskey and this morning, from john mcdonnell, who are saying 0k, from john mcdonnell, who are saying ok, if we do agree to another referendum, it is not going to include the option of staying in the eu. in other words, include the option of staying in the eu. in otherwords, remaining in the eu. in otherwords, remaining in the eu will not be on the ballot paper, it will be a choice between the deal that a labour government does or no deal. it will be two versions of brexit. i don't think that message has quite percolated through to a lot of the labour activists here, who are pushing the party to campaignfora who are pushing the party to campaign for a referendum in the hope they might be able to unpick brexit. that is not the position of the leadership. their view is brexit is happening, we have had a vote. if we have do have another referendum it will be on two questions of how we leave. i think that is the significant development we have had here. what other policies are they talking about this week? people like me, we often whinge about the fact that there is nothing sub

mcdonnell the british labor party conference this is what he told us about first being appointed by corbin when i asked him about britain's media landscape well we were the first people before anybody else to raise the issues about the abuse by the british media elements within the british media and before anyone else raised and we were doing on behalf of for example the national unity journalists who had many of their members bullied if they weren't for example involving themselves in what may fall from professional practices intrusions in personal personal privacy of people and they were reporting upon so we raise those issues and it all does all come down to a lack of democratic traffic control of our media but the concentration of powers in ownership of critique there is a lack of diversity of british media by u.k. shadow chancellor john mcdonald but what's happened since allegedly working with those who support try didn't nuclear weapons in scotland here he is attacking the channel he appeared on one very clear thing that you could do is stop appearing on russia today which is

we'll speak to shadow chancellor john mcdonnell at ten past seven. a public inquiry into a contaminated blood scandal, described as the worst treatment disaster in nhs history, opens today. thousands of patients that had transfusions in the 1970s and 1980s were given blood products from overseas infected with hepatitis c and hiv. at least 2,400 people have died as a result. 0ur health correspondent catherine burns reports. it was supposed to keep them alive, but for many it was a death sentence. thousands of people were infected with hiv and hepatitis c after getting contaminated blood. it is impossible to know how many people were infected by transfusions during surgery or child birth. and thousands of hemophiliacs received contaminated blood too. there were not enough supplies in the uk so some was imported from america, from paid donors and prison inmates. he just was an incredibly brave man. barbara scott's husband, ronald, had hemophilia and contracted hiv. he died a few days after his 50th birthday. it feels like, you know, you kind of dragged

and actually i was at a small business event with john mcdonnell yesterday afternoon and he very much supported the line which keirstarmer very much supported the line which keir starmer said, that actually, we will keep everything on the table, we would prefer a general election, if if that doesn't happen and there isa if if that doesn't happen and there is a second referendum we're not taking anything off the table, including the remain option. taking anything off the table, including the remain optionl taking anything off the table, including the remain option. i think you might be waiting a long time if you might be waiting a long time if you thinkjeremy corbyn is going to say that from the platform. you thinkjeremy corbyn is going to say that from the platforml you thinkjeremy corbyn is going to say that from the platform. i know that our, where political viewers will be interested in the that that line was not in keir starmer‘s original script that would have gone party headquarters. so not ruling out remain was something he inserted at the last minute. as you say, all those p

john mcdonnell said everyone should be on a level playing field. the director general of the bbc, tony hall, says some big name stars like chris evans have quit to move to commercial broadcasters, partly because their salaries have been published. lord hall was appearing before a committee of mps. he also said free tv licences for the over—75s would be reviewed. speaking about the bbc‘s coverage of the police raid on the home of sir cliff richard, he said he felt it had been over the top. i think their own two issues at the heart here, which i am sure you are thinking of, too. one is the nature of the coverage and my own view on that is, asjudge mann said, this was a proper case... we reported accurately what happened. but my own view is we overdid it. i think the helicopter was overdoing it. my own judgment, and judgment on hindsight is always a very fine thing, is that there was something to report but down the bulletin. memorial events have been taking place in new york and in washington to mark the 17th anniversary of the septermber11th att

john mcdonnell is going to try and address that issue, listen to what he told the bbc earlier. the government is tracking its feet on this, we are saying we need to do it now because if you look at what sap on, we've had this increase in employment in the economy which we welcome but any of those jobs are zero—hours contracts, welcome but any of those jobs are zero— hours contracts, pretty low pay, very insecure and people are struggling notjust pay, very insecure and people are struggling not just about pay, very insecure and people are struggling notjust about managing butjust struggling notjust about managing but just about surviving. struggling notjust about managing butjust about surviving. that's john mcdonnell talking earlier about those figures we were hearing in the news, the fact that the government is pointing out we have record deployment at the moment, they are producing jobs, jobs being created in the economy but not necessarily securejobs. in the economy but not necessarily secure jobs. the taylor report commissioned by the government suggests two thirds of w

john mcdonnell was very critical of the language of chuka umunna, but he said he had invented this whole story. the left—wing group momentum have called for a change in the pa rty‘s rules to have called for a change in the party's rules to make it easier to challenge a sitting mp. they say thatis challenge a sitting mp. they say that is about improving scrutiny and democracy in the party but there are people with genuine concerns. this is likely to come to a head when the party meets for its conference later a former conservative minister has added his voice to calls for a referendum on the terms of any brexit deal. this month. thank you. guto bebb, who resigned as a defence minister injuly, said a referendum would be the only way to break the deadlock in parliament. earlier this week theresa may rejected calls for a so—called people's vote, describing it as a betrayal of democracy. with all the sport now, here's lizzie greenwood hughes at the bbc sport centre. good evening. england's cricketers are in control of the fifth and final test against india. they‘ re 158 runs ahead goi

mcdonnell said his preference was for a general election but they will keep all options on the table and depending on what happens in terms of the deal theresa may comes back with, that position could change. susannah, thank you. former chief rabbi lord sacks has renewed his attacks onjeremy corbyn over claims of anti—semitism in the labour party. speaking to andrew marr, he compared jeremy corbyn to enoch powell. he said jewish people were considering leaving the uk. dues have been in britain since 1566. i know of no other application for dues, the majority of our community are asking, is this country safe to bring up our children? this is very worrying and there is only one word for it, anti—semitism. shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell said that criticism from figures like the former chief rabbi is misguided. the accusation aboutjeremy corbyn being anti—semite and this reference to enoch powell is just so wrong. and the grounds upon which he made those statements, let's talk through some of those. first of all, he said anti—semitism is blaming israel for everything that has ha

that's the shadow chancellor there, john mcdonnell in the city of london. next, a special report by inside out into the disruption experienced by train passengers in the north of england. this is for northern, crossing the border, bringing us mismanaged timetable trauma. delays for the rich, just as bad for the poor, displayed on chaotic led boards. the hordes of commuters, they slowly grow older, still waiting, they're late, stood shoulder to shoulder. poor service, it tests our passengers' brains cos they know they'll be rammed inside two tiny trains. and as they step forward to make their approaches, a loud tinny tannoy blares out a new notice. this train is now cancelled, a robot voice mithers. today's problem due to a shortage of drivers. but new rolling stock's coming, our wait‘s nearly ended. we're told they'll be worth it. can our railway be mended? good evening and welcome to a special edition of inside out, coming live from the national railway museum in york. this japanese bullet train is designed to travel at more than 200 miles an hour. but p

the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has accused the government of being out of its depth in its handling of brexit. he's been speaking as the labour party conference gets under way in liverpool. meanwhile, the deputy leader tom watson, in an interview for a sunday newspaper, says labour should back a second referendum on any final brexit deal, if members want one. here's our chief political correspondent vicki young. familiar scenes and a guaranteed rapturous reception forjeremy corbyn. his grassroots supporters propelled him to the top of the party and new rules could soon be agreed that give them more power in the future. but on brexit, is mr corbyn listening to labour members? we will challenge this government on whatever deal it brings back, on our six tests, onjobs, on living standards, on environmental protection and protection of those jobs and the ability of an incoming labour government to invest and intervene in an economy, to bring about decent wages, jobs and full employment! if in power, labour says its brexit position would be to ask brussels for full access to the single m

(speaking to the bbc‘s andrew marr earlier, the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell said he was confident that the row over the recognised definition of anti—semitism would be resolvd by labour when the national executive committee meets this week. i don't want to pre—empt the nec, but from what i have heard it will be resolved and there will be a balance of that acceptance as people want, but also exactly what others have said as well, and lord sacks himself, that freedom of speech is important as well. the ability to criticise policies that you disagree with. sorry to jump in. you are a big voice in the labour movement and people will be watching you and listening to you. if you yourself say that you think that definition should be accepted, that will have an effect. do you think it should be accepted? i do not want to interfere in the nec because anything i say could jeopardise what i think will be an historic agreement. let me put it as straightforward as i can. i think all sides will be satisfied with the proposal that will be discussed. that means acceptance on the one hand and

this is what john mcdonnell had to say in response at all earlier. —— call off the dogs. stop getting in front of the cameras inventing stories. unite with the re st of inventing stories. unite with the rest of the party. what we want is a labour government as soon as possible. right across the company, —— country, there are 5000 people sleeping rough. nhs in crisis. loach 's sleeping rough. nhs in crisis. loach ns __ sleeping rough. nhs in crisis. loach 's —— low wages, these are that things we are dealing with, not these things they are trying to invent. all relying —— referring to our party members as dogs. three labour mps had their local parties carry out no—confidence votes and they lost. all three mps critics of jeremy corbyn. it has led some to worry they are going to face some sort of deselection. as things stand, those votes are purely symbolic but the party's left—wing momentum is trying to get the rules changed to make it easier to challenge sitting mps. the group says that is about being more democratic and increased scrutiny. there is no cons

mcdonnell aware of where they are sitting because it does look very metropolitan, this argument for a second referendum but we will come onto that when we discussjeremy corbyn we will come onto that when we discuss jeremy corbyn because we will come onto that when we discussjeremy corbyn because he must declare whether he wants to go for a second referendum or a general election. bouncing through from brexit and i'd very much looks like the latter. twe nty20 brexit and i'd very much looks like the latter. twenty20 world cup to the latter. twenty20 world cup to the chase, it appears to me to talk about the problems of sourcing, very few hard names in this, it looks to me like a lot of wishful thinking. there's a lot of pressure at the party conference, there does seem to bea party conference, there does seem to be a ground swell of pressure coming from labour's grassroots. absolutely, tom watson has said that we should give the party back to the members, you can almost hear him licking his lips as he says it, the first time the membership is perhaps out of kilter withjeremy corbyn. a

the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, said that mr corbyn has been misinterpreted. our political correspondent iain watson reports. as a former prime minister, gordon brown intervenes rarely in domestic politics. four years ago he spoke out over the future of the country in the scottish referendum. now, with the row over anti—semitism still raging, he says he's speaking out for the future of his party. it's about the soul of the labour party. labour's ruling national executive incorporated an internationally accepted definition of anti—semitism into a code of conduct injuly but didn't include word for word all the examples, angering manyjewish members. those close tojeremy corbyn were concerned that one example claiming the existence of the state of israel is a racist endeavour would restrict the free speech of palestinians. labour's national executive will now discuss the issue again on tuesday and this time gordon brown says there's only one way they can rebuild trust with thejewish community. the international holocaust remembrance alliance definition of semi

in a speech to the tuc conference in manchester, the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, will say casual staff should be eligible for sick pay, maternity leave and other benefits. he'll also set out plans to increase the power of trade unions. our political correspondent, iain watson, is at the conference and sent this report. the so—called gig economy is all around us — when we take a cab, order a pizza, stuff off for a snack, or we come and go from our offices. many people whose work is irregular and insecure, such as agency staff or freelancers without full employment rights. the unions say almost 4 million people are not in regular guaranteed employment and labour is pledging to give casual workers similar rights to those in permanentjobs. the balance has shifted too far now against the rights of workers in particular, and that is displayed in the distribution of national income now. for the first time, more is going to shareholders than to workers themselves. the tuc welcomes the prospect of new employment rights but says these alone will not help everyone in the gig economy. th

the shadow chancellor, john mcdonnell, has said a future labour government would be ready to start nationalising key industries from the day it takes office. speaking on the eve of the party's annual conference in liverpool, mr mcdonnell said a new unit would be established in the treasury to oversee the process, and in some cases investors might not be compensated. he predicted that nationalisation of rail services could be completed within five years. meanwhile the shadow equalities minister, dawn butler, will use labour's national women's conference today to outline plans for supporting victims of domestic abuse. the proposals include introducing a requirement for all employers to provide ten days of paid leave for those affected. it's about prevention, protection and support. so, recognising the signs of domestic abuse, talking about domestic abuse. and one of the ways that we can start getting people to open up about it and start to get it eliminated in society, we have to tackle the justice system, in terms of when it's been reported. we have to make victims of domestic abuse feel safe and

john mcdonnell says those individuals should have the same rights as people on more secure contracts in longer term jobs, that they should have the right to sick pay, maternity pay, that a lot take for granted. although the unions represent 49 different organisations and sectors of the economy, many of those individuals are not represented by unions. we are talking about almost 3 million working in the gig economy and often they are not members of unions because they work in such flexible contracts, often switching industries. often they perhaps are in less secure and represented areas, which is something john mcdonnell wants to address with his speech. this is likely to go down well with his audience. he is a sta lwa rt well with his audience. he is a stalwart at the tuc, having been here for years and years but not necessarily in the role he is in now, shadow chancellor, and someone looking to set out an agenda for government when labour say they want to bring it in, ifand government when labour say they want to bring it in, if and when a general election is called. thank you. the

john mcdonnell has responded in pretty strong terms castillo the party more broadly saying it this morning that there is a conspiracy is nonsense. the speech by chuka umunna was quite simply incorrect and incoherent. john mccullough —— john mcdonough simply incorrect and incoherent. john mccullough ——john mcdonough is a supporter ofjeremy corbyn, he responded to this today, particularly critical of some of the language that chuka umunna used. stop throwing yourself in front of tv cameras, inventing stories, and get out there and start campaigning for a labour government. unite with the rest of the party, because what we want is a labour government as soon as we want is a labour government as soon as possible. across the country there 5000 people sleeping... a million without social care, are in a zinc prices, wages below what they we re a zinc prices, wages below what they were in 2008. they are the issues we're dealing with, not internal disputes that he is trying to invent, or referring to are party members as dogs. unacceptable. it's going to get worse, the run—up to the party
