i'm anyjewish friends in the labour party and outside the labour party who are not represented by this community would like facts look at about how much anti—semitism there really is in the party, whatjeremy corbyn has done, instead of these allegations hyped up by mr gordon brown. are you saying there is not a problem? no, i am not, there has been a problem, but it is less now thanit been a problem, but it is less now than it was in the past. i have not met its myself, but i live in north london where there are sophisticated constituents when it comes to understanding views. i have been challenged many times and i have beenin challenged many times and i have been in the labour party for many yea rs. been in the labour party for many years. all the evidence suggests it is at least as prevalent in other parties. they have the same problem, it is mostly on the far right, the disgusting things happening on social media are not coming from labour party members, but the allegations continue. i am concerned the media, including yourself, and commentators, are not questioning the so—calle

a labour party official who suggested thatjewish a labour party official who suggested that jewish trump a labour party official who suggested thatjewish trump fanatics we re suggested thatjewish trump fanatics were behind accusations of anti—semitism in labour ranks has been re—elected to the party's ruling body. peter willsman was criticised when a recording of his remarks and merged injuly. he is one of nine people elected to labour's executive committee. he was confronted by a journalist who asked him to explain those remarks. are you going to stand down from your candidacy for the nec? do you plan to withdraw as a candidate? peter willsman, will you talk to us about your comments? hang on. do you plan to stand down as a candidate from the nec. tom watson says he is disgusted by you. do you have anything to say to tom watson, peter willsman? why are you walking away? why won't you speak to us? so he has been re—elected and jenny manson is co—chair of the voice by labour. we have something called democracy in the labour party these days. people can vote for who they wa nted da

it is labour councils and other labour —— over —— only labour councils that are taking steps to protect people and we must thank them for it. thank those councillors for the work they do day in day out. privatisation and outsourcing and now a national disaster zone and labour is ready to call time on this racket. we will rebuild the public realm and create a genuinely mixed economy for the 21st—century and after a decade of austerity the next labour government will confront the challenge of rebuilding of public services. this year marks the 70th anniversary of the nhs, labour‘s proudest creation. and it stands as a all over the world to those fighting for universal health care. free at the point of need. its founder, aneurin bevan, inspired by the collective health provision is home town described their free health service as pure socialism. we all contribute through our taxes so that it‘s there for all of us whenever we need it. but this conservative government has pushed our nhs into crisis with more people waiting long to see a doctor and over 4 million people on hospital waiti

it's not labour party policy. i understand people are angry and are looking for different means but i think this government is going to fall apart anyway and we will get a general election and get into government. in the first five yea rs i into government. in the first five years i think we will transform our society in such a way that will be able to transform people's lives. you are going to push through the policies you want to do, has that same treasury default for what led to the crash? i don't think the management of the economy has been effective. what we are doing now is every fortnight my treasury team—mates. we go through an exercise which we looked at all the issues we will have to confront when we go into government. we are looking at past ministers as well and bringing in external advice from the private sector and elsewhere and preparing for government. that exercise will enable us to work when we go in. are you worried about the deep state that could preventjeremy corbyn do what he wants to do. w

so the fear of some labour mps that they put off labour voters calling for a referendum, that simply isn't the case. of course, there are lots of different arguments about what the question would be if you had a referendum, would it be on a particular deal, would it be, as justine greening suggested, even a three—way referendum — when you come down to it, we are still a very divided country, opinion has not shifted hugely between the tv news of whether to leave or remain. shifted hugely between the tv news of whether to leave or remainm shifted hugely between the tv news of whether to leave or remain. it is true that the great majority of people hold the same view now as they did in the referendum two years ago, but the people who have changed, more people are changed from leave to remain than the other way, and one other thing — we know that older people voted 2—1 to leave. we now know from other yougov research that people who've reached voting age since the referendum are 7-1 voting age since the referendum are 7—1 for remain. and you know, come march the 29th, the day w

we are going to take you straight to the labour party conference where the labour party conference where the party's brexit spokesman is giving a speech on labour's brexit position. applause conference, the last two years has not been easy. like many of you, i was devastated by the result of the referendum. like many of you, i had campaigned, i had voted to remain. applause not for the technical benefits of membership, important though they are. but because i'm proud to say that i am an internationalist. applause i believe that nations achieve more together than they do alone. i believe that the challenges facing oui’ believe that the challenges facing our nation, whether that's conflict, terrorism, climate change, those challenges are best met together with our eu partners. applause and conference, if we think of the opportunities facing our nation. scientific research, medical developments, education, arts and culture. those opportunities are going to be realised best with our eu partners. and conference... those values of collaboration and corporation, they didn't die on the 23rd ju

it fell apart following our labour policies. it fellapart in following our labour policies. it fell apart in strasbourg. so it should be remain all leave, or leave or leave, because that isn't the option of the majority of the labour members or the majority of the public. i would argue for a two step referendum to see if people want this deal or not and then if they don't, it would be whether they want to remain only. be two step referendum? in two and a half years we would have had three referenda on this issue. there is democratic overload and you think about people being put off by too many referenda or too many votes. but with an issue thatis or too many votes. but with an issue that is so important, it cannot be a nswered that is so important, it cannot be answered within one referendum. we have seen it happen before when politicians try to simplify the referendum or the question and it ends up becoming yes or no, which people don't understand the ramifications of. but many people do? with any election, it is a two—way thing. do? with any election, it is a two-way thi

so whether you look at labour activists all labour voters, it can make one further point. you got recently asked labour's targets. the people not currently working with others say they would consider voting labour, key target group, and they say overwhelmingly, yes, we want to stay in the eu. we want a referendum. that same poll found that very, very few, i was surprised how few labour supporters, would be deterred by a referendum. so the fear of some labour mps that they put of labour voters by calling for a referendum, that simply isn't the case. directors of the british broadcaster, sky, have urged shareholders to accept a takeover offer of more than 30—billion pounds from the us media giant, comcast. after a long—running battle against rupert murdoch's 21st century fox, comcast won a blind auction for sky. our business editor simonjack reports. it's been an epic battle between two heavyweights of the media world. in the final round, us cable giant and universal studios owner comcast our delivered a knockout blow, offering £30 billion, 10% more than the disney—ba

in the labour party, nearly a0 yea rs of his life in the labour party, nearly a0 years of the labour mp, he felt he had to resign the whip because the party he joined which was voraciously anti—racist has now becomes so institutionally anti—semitic he feels he can't take instructions from it more. thank you. if we get an outcome from that meeting we will bring it to you right away. the head of tsb, one of britain's biggest high street banks, has paid the price for its disastrous it switch which led to almost two million customers being locked out out of their accounts. paul pester is stepping down after seven years as the bank's chief executive. he will still walk away with a pay—off worth more than £1.5 million. here's our personal finance correspondent simon gompertz. paul pester was the boss who led millions of tsb customers out of lloyds and into a new independent bank to challenge the big names. triumphant at first but then disaster struck. "i'm sorry" says the boss of tsb. taken down, tsb's online banking is suspended as it tries to sort technical problems... in april, a

labour's shadow chancellor says he's worried about the prospect of the labour party splitting amid the row about anti—semitism. they protest in the german city of chemnitz following the death of a german man allegedly killed by two migrants. in the cricket, england fight through the third day to finish on 260—8 earning a lead that means the fourth test against india is wonderfully poised. and we”ll get look at the sunday papers at 9.35— with the prime minister's brexit plans dominating the front pages. theresa may says she will not give in to those who want another referendum on brexit. writing in the sunday telegraph the prime minister said those who voted in 2016 trusted that their "voices would be heard." mrs may also pledged that she wouldn't be forced into watering down her chequers brexit plan. but one conservative mp — who previously backed her proposals — has now described them as a "humiliation." our political correspondent chris mason reports. the prime minister argues that in the eu referendum two years ago, millions of people voted, some for the first time in de

that's why labour speaks for the new majority, why last year we won the biggest increase in the labour folk since 1945 and why labour's ideas have indeed caught the mood of the times. and conference, it isn't me saying that, not me, it's a former conservative treasury minister lord o'neil. i've never sought to capture the mood of a tory minister before and let me say to his lordship, you're welcome... come and join us in the new political mainstream if you wish! that failed free—for—all which led to the crash of a decade ago has also fuelled the global environmental crisis and hamstrung international efforts to tackle it. there is no bigger threat facing humanity than climate change. applause and 21 years ago labour's then deputy leaderjohn prescott played a prominent role in helping to secure the kyoto protocol. thank you, john, and thank you for being here today and thank you for being here today and supporting us. that united the world's major economies behind the movement to cut carbon emissions and obliged them to give poorer countries access to low—carbon technology. it was

members, not labour voters but labour members. whether he can actually persuade corbyn to do a u—turn, ifind it actually persuade corbyn to do a u—turn, i find it hard to actually persuade corbyn to do a u—turn, ifind it hard to believe. it's about the terms of the brexit rather than the brexit, per se. he's being very cautious. that's one of the criticisms when it comes to jeremy corbyn. labour would actually rather have a general election. still unclear in this in what tom watson is exactly saying. asked if it means labour should commit to another national vote in the next manifesto, he says there's going to be pressure for this to happen. on the one hand, if labour does endorse a second referendum, as a straightforward policy, and seeks to argue for that any g5 that in parliament, that's obviously very significant. if their strategy is actually to say, we would only commit to what if there was an election. too good to an election is a whole different ball game altogether! two years or three years down the line, it will be

he took pa rt thejewish labour movement. he took part ina thejewish labour movement. he took part in a panel today about your experiences as a jewish mp. what really saying? i wanted to talk about my experiences helping my constituents campaigning on major issues but most of the questions we re issues but most of the questions were about anti—semitism, many people said they had to resign their membership because they were so concerned and others wanted to know what was being done to combat it. there was anger but also upset, people want a labour government and they want it to deal with inequalities that they are perplexed on how we have become so dominated by its failure to deal with anti—semitism. by its failure to deal with anti-semitism. it does seem to dominate the agenda. what do you make of what jeremy dominate the agenda. what do you make of whatjeremy corbyn is doing about it? he is our leader but he isn't dealing with the key challenge, he must start acting, adopt the international definition, deal with a long legacy of cases of anti—semitism from membe

it's crunch time for labour. the row over whether senior figures in the party have a racist attitude towardsjews has come to a head as the party's ruling body decides today whether to adopt in full the internationally recognised definition of anti—semitism. whether they do or not, is it too late to repair the rift in the labour party? we have to deal with anti—semitism in our society, including in the labour party and the labour movement, and that is exactly what we are doing. it's about who we are, it's about what we stand for, it's about what makes us tick. it's about the soul of the labour party. these two mps disagree about whether labour should adopt the international code in full. how do much do labour supporters care about the row? do you simply want the conversation to move on? let us know what you think if you're a labour supporter. many first dates end in a kiss. but imagine a first date that ends in a kiss that saves your date‘s life. we speak to a man who had a heart attack on the beach, and the

jeremy corbyn has confirmed labour would submit —— labour would support another referendum. he would prefer another referendum. he would prefer a general election but would abide by the decision of members. his comments came as thousands of people joined in an anti—brison march in liverpool where the labour conference is currently taking place. —— anti—bursa. here's our political correspondent alex forsyth. —— anti—brexit. people's vote! there's clear demand. now! calls for another public vote. i can't see that we've got anything to gain through brexit. a say on the terms of brexit. we need to know what the deal actually is. and outside labour's conference, some party members join the chorus. can you hear us, jeremy corbyn?! listen to us, hear us, give us a people's vote! it seems he might have heard. he's resisted so far but today said he would accept the decision of party members. 0ur preference would be for a general election, and we can then negotiate our future relationships with europe. but let's see what comes out of conference, we are democratic party,

nine prominent supporters of the labour leaderjeremy corbyn have been elected to labour's governing body the national executive committee. they include peter willsman who claimed ‘trump fanatics' were behind accusations of anti—semitism in the party. sport with james pearce. good evening. alastair cook has announced his retirement from international cricket after what's been a record—breaking career. the former england captain will play his final test at the oval against india, which starts on friday. he's now 33 and his statistics hold up against any batsman — he's scored 12,254 runs and made 32 centuries in 160 tests — all england records. here are some more details on cook's career. he made his test debut in 2006. and became test captain six years later, taking over from andrew strauss. he led england for a record 59 tests, winning ashes series in 2013 and 2015. and became england's record run—maker in tests, when he surpassed graham gooch's mark of 8,900 in may of 2015, before becoming the youngest cricketer to reach 10,000 test runs a year later. he resigned as test capt

and under labour, it will. we will deliver real power for mental health services to protect people like angela's daughter. >> [ applause ] >> then, there's the scandal of the tories 6 billion cuts to social care, leaving 400,000 fewer older people receiving care. to many of our older people, condemned to live alone and isolated, unable to leave hospital, because it's not safe for them. austerity, is putting other strains on the nhs, too. one in five homes in england are now unfit for human habitation. 120,000 children are living in temporary accommodations. as john healy has pledged, we will put a liking on those with 2nd homes. think of it as a solidarity fund. >> [ applause ] >> a solidarity fund for those with two homes, to help those without any home at all. >> [ applause ] >> and labour will embark on the biggest homebuilding program in half a century. >> [ applause ] >> meanwhile, too many people, social security has become a system of institutionalized bullying and degradation. >> [ applause ] >> the tor

some labour members are very clear. the idea that you can betray those members without giving them the option to remain in the european union would be an absolute farce. so, views here are again divided. labour's leaders don't want to alienate supporters who campaigned to leave or those who want another say on brexit, so this is an attempt at compromise. in truth, the chance of another public vote on brexit actually happening is still some way off. if labour supports it, it would only be if any brexit deal was rejected and if that didn't result in a general election. for now, much of the focus is on the government's negotiations. today in westminster, some tory brexiteers gathered to hear an alternative to the prime minister's brexit plan, the one they want her to ditch. instead, this free—market think tank has suggested a free trade agreement with much looser ties to the eu. they claim it means better global trading opportunities. we need to take a model like this, we need to grasp the brexit prize and we need to act

unless the majority of jewish labour jewish community. unless the majority ofjewish labour members and voters have confidence in our ability to tackle anti—semitism, we will never be trusted to do it and we will pay a heavy price, so tuesdayis we will pay a heavy price, so tuesday is a defining moment and i hope we can unite after a miserable summer. do you believe jeremy corbyn himself is anti—semitic? summer. do you believe jeremy corbyn himself is anti-semitic? no, i have a lwa ys himself is anti-semitic? no, i have always argued that he isn't anti—semitic. like many people i am troubled by the comments he has made, by some of the platforms he has chosen to share with some ugly and disreputable characters. i think what we need from jeremy corbyn is a speech like the one given by gordon brown, setting out personally where he stands on anti—semitism, how he is prepared to tackle at both as the leader of labour but also the person who wants to be our next prime minister, and to explain how the questions around his own personal cre

well that is a matter for labour and the labour party co nfe re nce labour and the labour party conference we will be having this debate and from the gmb's view, given this was an executive decision made by the executive, i will encourage labour to follow suit. but we are not rowing back on the brexit decision. the gmb accepts the decision. the gmb accepts the decision. it is terms that we come out of europe and that is as vital as the decision to come out. as well as the decision to come out. as well as the decision to come out. as well as the argument, people will say it is an attempt to overturn the referendum. some say rerunning the vote could cause unjest. jest —— unrest. i don't think it will cause as much unrest as if a bad deal was accepted by parliament. why should it be 65 parliamentarians deciding who will have agendas for themselves, rather than the millions of working people that i and the trade union movement represent? people were given false promises, where is the £350 million for the nhs and the jobs plan on the brexit white pape sner where are the guarantees for my w

hence this warning from one of labour's big union backers. there are significant numbers of traditional labour supporters who are saying, "we are going to vote conservative because we don't trust labour to take us out of the european union." any vote, he said, should be on the terms of leaving only. the referendum shouldn't be on, "do we want to go back into the european union?" that shouldn't even be an option? no, because the people have already decided. but these people want another say — labour's now flirting with the idea, while the government says it would be a betrayal of trust. brexit, once again, hugely divisive. alex forsyth, bbc news, liverpool. our chief political correspondent vicki young, is at the labour party conference in liverpool, and has been assessing the reaction to events today. it's interesting this week, labour will want to show themselves as a government in waiting. they are talking about wanting a general election and that's quite hard for the opposition to achieve under the parliamentary rules, it would require c

lets get more reaction from the labour mp, chris williamson. how do you kill following the decision this evening? the labour party adopted the full definition a couple of years ago just to correct your opening statement. the discussion has been about whether all of the working examples should be adopted as well. earlier this year the party did adopt most of them and then nuanced a couple of others in order to preserve freedom of speech. but clearly there was a lot of pressure and upset from certain sections of the community, not the entire jewish certain sections of the community, not the entirejewish community it has to be said and many people in the jewish community are has to be said and many people in thejewish community are strongly opposed to adopting the ihra exa m ples opposed to adopting the ihra examples in full. but the nec took a pragmatic decision today and agreed to adopt all of the examples, notwithstanding the fact that the original author is quite critical of them and said it has a chilling effect on freedom of speech and many

and then more of labour's vision. the shadow chancellor sketched out a proudly socialist plan for a britain where all big companies would be made, year by year, to eventually hand out 10% of company shares to their workers. power also comes from ownership. we believe workers who create the wealth of a company should share in his ownership, and, yes, in the returns that it makes. labour's shares for workers plan would apply to all firms with 250 workers or more. staff would get annual share dividends, up to £500 while at the firm, along with full shareholder rights in company decisions. share pay—outs above the limits would go into a nationalfund labour says would gain over £2 billion a year for public spending. employers representatives say it will harm firms and their staff. employee share ownership is a good thing, many companies are doing it and they are doing more of it every year. but this mandatory diktat that says every company has to do it in exactly the same way is the wrong idea. it dilutes shareholdings

let's return to the labour party conference. a new £560 million tax on second homes has been proposed by the labour party to help tackle homelessness. under the plans, those who use their second properties as holiday homes would face an extra bill equivalent to double the rate of council tax. shadow housing secretaryjohn healey said it's only right that those with a second home help those with no home at all. let's go to liverpool and speak to anne ashworth, property and personal finance editor at the times. lovely to see you. busy day for you iam lovely to see you. busy day for you i am sore. there have been a lot of ideas brought up. but what you make of this one, this tax on second homes on holiday homes? well housing is top of the agenda at the conference. but i think this is quite interesting, this new focus on taxing second homes. because as i understand, it is what the government is also contemplating being able to raise some extra cash from the moneyed who own second homes. and we have seen wholesale assault on the buy

the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, tells the bbc that labour will measure any deal against the six key tests that it's set out. this government has had 37 months to negotiate a brexit deal, has not done so, and that our party represent people in communities that voted both leave and remain but all of whom are worried about theirjobs and worried about the economic future of this country. — 27 months. but the shadow brexit secretary says all options should be kept on the table, including a so—called people's vote, and the possibility of remaining in the eu. it's right that parliament has the first say, but if we need to break the impasse, our options must include campaigning for a public vote and nobody is ruling out remain as an option. cheering and applause we'll have the latest from the labour conference, where the vote is due to take place in liverpool within the next hour. the other main stories on bbc news at 5... the cabinet agrees in principle that migrants from the eu should be treated the same as those from the rest of the world after brexit. the inquest into the death of a

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? who do you want to drive brexit going forwards? and as jeremy and tom watson have said, you know, ultimately we're not in control of this process right now, we want to be in control of that process and... but this conference is a democratic party, is a democratic party, we will listen to the views of members and we will reflect on the views of members on the issue of brexit. the big question is, what will this conference actually get to vote on? will they get to vote on a motion saying that labour backs a second referendum? saying that labour backs a second referendum ? all will saying that labour backs a second referendum? all will it be worded in such an ambiguous way that it will amount toa such an ambiguous way that it will amount to a fudge without actually committing labour to supporting a second r

and tell us whatjeremy corbyn has been saying today that labour women. —— to labour women. the big thrust of the pa rty‘s message labour women. the big thrust of the party's message today is about equality, sojeremy corbyn addressed the labour women's conference, a regular event held the day before the full conference gets under way. they were announcing policies to support victims of domestic abuse, things like ten days paid leave so that employers can give to anyone suffering from domestic abuse. but one thing that came the party's shadow qualities commissioner, dawn butler, during her speech, she praised the labour run liverpool council of the 1980s. you may remember, delving a bit into political history, that that council defied margaret thatcher's spending cuts by setting an illegal budget which meant they had to hand redundancy notices to their staff. at the time, the then labour leader neil kinnock condemned the militant group on liverpool council for those actions. today, a shadow cabinet minister stood up and prays that council are standing up to margaret thatche

how can labour be trusted by the jewish community? after weeks of demands for the leadership to change labour's words... i hope we can adopt the ihra definition today. because what's precisely on paper is the core of the dispute. the international definition says it's anti—semitic to claim the existence of israel is a racist endeavour. but labour's version was, they said, to protect free speech. to discuss the circumstances of the israeli state's foundation is a legitimate part of modern political discourse. after hours of discussion, the party finally agreed to move, accepting the whole definition, but with a statement alongside. i think it's a small step in the right direction. we've lost faith within the jewish community, and we know that, and it hurts pretty much all of our labour membership to know that we're in that state of affairs at the moment. this is a first step forward but we have a number of bridges to build. but how did the labour party find itself in this mess? jeremy corbyn and legions of his supporters on the left

amongst labour voters that is 86% of labour party members. there has been a big shift in the mood in the labour party here at conference. thank you very much indeed. that is part of the problem thatjeremy corbyn is wrestling with, wanting to stay true to those brexiteers who voted for labour and voted to leave but also trying to keep onside very many labour mps who think now is the time to call for another referendum. a public inquiry has begun into the contaminated blood scandal, in which 2,500 nhs patients died. thousands of people were given blood products infected with hepatitis viruses and hiv in the 1970s and ‘80s it's been called the worst treatment disaster in the history of the nhs. daniela relph reports. they came for answers. the families and victims on whom the contaminated blood scandal has had a devastating impact. the public inquiry at church house in central london is where they hope to find an explanation. for elizabeth macrae, this has been a long time coming. herfather, peter, was a haemophiliac. after receiving contamina

hence this warning from one of labour's big union backers. there are significant numbers of traditional labour supporters who are saying, "we are going to vote conservative because we don't trust labour to take us out of the european union." any vote, he said, should be on the terms of leaving only. the referendum shouldn't be on, "do we want to go back into the european union?" that shouldn't even be an option? no, because the people have already decided. but these people want another say — labour's now flirting with the idea, while the government says it would be a betrayal of trust. brexit, once again, hugely divisive. alex forsyth, bbc news, liverpool. our political editor, laura kuenssberg, is in liverpool for us this evening. laura, are the hands of the labour leadership now really tied depending on what conference wants concerning a new referendum? as ever with brexit, the leaders at the top of parties are trying to navigate a very narrow tightrope indeed, and although many of the people here are campaigning very hard for another ref

it's about the soul of the labour party. the eu's top negotiator says theresa may's brexit plans are unworkable, as she says she won't be pushed into compromising. smuggling into jails. figures reveal a big rise in the number of prison staff involved. video games which allow players to make in—game purchases are to get a warning icon on their packaging. and at 11:30pm, we will be taking an in—depth look at the papers with our reviewers, caroline frost and tony grew. stay with us for that. good evening. the former prime minister gordon brown has intervened in the ongoing dispute within labour over anti—semitism, urging the party to adopt an internationally recognised definition in its entirety. mr brown said the issue of anti—semitism went to the heart of what labour stood for as a progressive party, and it needed to move forward in a way that was true to its traditions. today the former chief rabbi lord sacks again criticised jeremy corbyn, saying his speeches were part of the reason somejews were considering leaving

applause labour are against applause labourare againsta applause labour are against a conservative deal, but what is their plan? voting against the government is a first step, although they will need the help of conservative rebels to defeat the prime minister. if they succeed they will call for a new general election defeat to not get it, campaigning for a general election defeat to not get it, campaigning fora new general election defeat to not get it, campaigning for a new referendum becomes an option. yesterday the shadow chancellor suggested a referendum would only be on mrs may's deal, the keir starmer was clear that a much wider question could be asked. it is right that parliament has the first say, but if we need to break the impasse, our options must include campaigning for a public vote, and nobody is out ruling remain as an option. that went down well with delegates but the few leave campaigners here are farfrom the few leave campaigners here are far from ecstatic. and the few leave campaigners here are farfrom ecstatic. and there the few leave campaigners here are far from e

he insisted that labour would resolve the issue, let's listen now to some of what he said at the labour movement. i want to congratulate you, pioneers, when the labour party was not even a successful opposition party in cheese and be part of the party. and i want to thank you, all of you here. on behalf of the british people for your courage and your resilience and dignity and standing up resilience and dignity and standing up to anti—semitism. and i learned that first—hand of the depths of depravity of what happened to to the horrors of the holocaust. i learned about the horrors that were visited on people from the youngest to the old est on people from the youngest to the oldest members of the community and oui’ they knew about what was happening from the stories that were told by the jewish labour movement from the stories that were told by thejewish labour movement and by thejewish labour movement and by the survivors of the holocaust. it is very clear that we made a promise to the jewish community is very clear that we made a promise to thejewish community we must honour it.

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 market. they want the uk to be in a customs union with eu. but labour says it wants to manage migration fairly with a flexible work visa system. stop brexit! labour's been accused of keeping its brexit policy deliberately vague to mask divisions in the party. especially on whether to back another referendum, a so—called people's vote. arriving in liverpool earlier, the shadow chancellor said the government was falling apart and it was time for labour to step in. we have to respect the referendum result, that's democracy. i want a general election, i'd rather have a general ele

jewish voice for labour is a pro—corbyn group, set up to tackle claims of anti—semitism in the labour party. i've been getting the thoughts of its chair, jenny manson. i have heard people say they have had enough, i have had enough, many are not represented by this community and would like some facts about how much anti—semitism is on the party, what mr corbyn has done, there have been plenty of action, instead of these allegations hyped up instead of these allegations hyped up today by gordon brown. you saying there isn't a problem? there has been a problem in the labour party always, there is apparently some suggestion that it is less now than in the past, i hadn't met at myself, i live in north london, a sophisticated constituent when it comes to understanding jews, i have been challenged many times and i have been in the labour party for many years, all the evidence is it is at least as prevalent in other parties, they have the same problem, it is mostly on the far right and a lwa ys it is mostly on the far right and always has been but most of the very disgusting things had bee

labour policy is that i should not bea labour policy is that i should not be a second referendum. theresa may certainly saying that that is totally off the table. that is what she said before, why she took about it now? we are getting into the new town. this will be a crucial time of the coming weeks to get her exits legislation through in order to get a deal with the european union. there are so many hurdles that is to get through, and rarely setting out her stall and making it clear, iam not go down that route of the second referendum, and our deal will work, she has at that time that time and time again, and making it clear that she does not want it watered down, and there is a lot of pressure from all sides, long that. jeff scott brexiteers that are unhappy with the terms of the chequers plan, but also, as we had, they're also remainers in her party saying they are not happy with it. she has got in atan are not happy with it. she has got in at an opposition. the european union, but also her own party need to be brought onside. meanwhile, all of that is a back drop of a kind of

the labour party has always been the party of equality. to find ourselves dragged down into this never—ending scandal on anti—semitism is heartbreaking. i can see today from all the phases of many members of thejewish community and other members notjewish people, i think everyone is heartbroken that things have got to this stage. we cannot quite understand how a party which had such a proud tradition of standing side by side with the jewish community is now in this huge mess. what will resolve it? it can only come from the leadership and there is a lot of truth in what margaret says about jeremy there is a lot of truth in what margaret says aboutjeremy corbyn. he ultimately has got to show strong leadership on it as well. he has to say enough is enough and he has to doa say enough is enough and he has to do a full sun apology. he has to show that he gets it, that is missing. john landsman who helped getjeremy corbyn to be the leader of the labour party, he himself said he thinksjeremy corbyn needs education and training on what anti—

and then more of labour's vision. the shadow chancellor sketched out a proudly socialist plan for a britain where all big companies would be made, year by year, to eventually hand up 10% of company shares to their workers. power also comes from ownership. we believe workers who create the wealth of a company should share in his ownership, and, yes, in the returns that it makes. labour's shares for workers plan would apply to all firms with 250 workers or more. staff would get annual share dividends, up to £500 while at the firm, along with full shareholder rights in company decisions. share pay—outs above the limit would go into a nationalfund labour says would gain over £2 billion a year for public spending. employers' representatives say it will harm firms and their staff. employee share ownership is a good thing, many companies are doing it and they are doing more of it every year. but this mandatory diktat that says every company has to do it in exactly the same way is the wrong idea. it dilutes shareholdings,

we have labour oi'i conservatives here. we have labour on one conservatives here. we have labour on one hand saying business is about time dance to the problems they created and baking. and then you have theresa may saint post brexit, we will be very welcoming to businesses. we will be cutting corporation tax according to this to 17% as a country. that would be the same rate in singapore. we would have the lowest. a couple of things that intrigued me about this. why do being run out, the telegraph, a pro—british paper, the positioning process theresa may broadening the eu. -- process theresa may broadening the eu. —— being run now. terry get into a bad tax haven if they give us a bad deal. i'm a fan of the fact that you smart regulation and quotation marks without clarification. what a smart about the? find out on page two. most of all, this plan i'm pretty sure was of the tory ma nifesto, pretty sure was of the tory manifesto, so fair play for giving a big speech to business leaders on something we should know already. the ft has got a picture of donald trum

while labour prefer is another general election, so that labour can stand on a different policy platform rather than a so—called people's vote on the terms of the brexit deal. but at this stage, nothing is off the table. there is pressure on both parties, a conservative mentor —— minister came out today in support of the second movement. the government is very clear that there are will be no such thing. vince cable said the leadership of his party should be open to anyone, not necessarily anyone in politics. is there any chance that perhaps underground tories and labour will come to together... there is a feeling that some people feel politically homeless because labour shifts towards the left, and some people in the centre ground not knowing where they sit politically. but people's memories and politics are long, and we have seen a split in the labour party, and that did not work out brilliantly. i think people are reluctant to go down that route, and at this point it is very much discussion and talk around the edges, you don't see resignations at the moment, because this is all p

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 semitism is something that we should support unanimously, unequivocally and immediately. jon lansman is close to the labour leadership. he founded momentum. he believes a compromise is possible which protects freedom speech and should have come sooner. we have an opportunity, we can trust the jewish committee and i hope we will take decisive steps on tuesday. the jewi

. -- labour. a lot of that new labour thinking was not in liverpool this week. they just did not turn up. people say this morning he was trying to appeal to the people in the room. there is real ha rd left to the people in the room. there is real hard left support. i do not argue about. a lot of the policies he is coming up with might be very popular with middle britain and they don't necessarily see this guy as a sort of hard left pretty man any more. at the same time, our prime minister was meeting with donald trump, talking about trade, post—brexit trade with the us, and how the british economy is open for business. her usual lines. the business. her usual lines. the business leaders that you are talking to while all this was going on, what do they think? what is there thinking about where we are here in the uk withjeremy corbyn, theresa may, and brexit? this is the perennial question around boa rd rooms, perennial question around boardrooms, what is worse, full brexit, no deal brexit, orjere

and what do you say to those many labour voters in often traditional labour seats who voted overwhelmingly for brexit and will say that the party is now betraying them? let'sjust let the debate and the conference ta ke let the debate and the conference take place, shall we? 0ur position is that the argument we are going to put to the delegates is that we think we need a meaningful vote in parliament. failing that we think the prime minister need to call a general election so that we can debate the issues around the deal. and it may be that we need to have a people's vote if parliament can't come to view, and i am sure that will be discussed at this week and let's see what comes out of the debate. but if our delegates want to argue for more democracy in this brexit process, then we will have to respect it. is it your personal view that it should be in a labour ma nifesto ? that it should be in a labour manifesto? it is my view that the co nfe re nce manifesto? it is my view that the conference should debate this and if in their wisdom they decide that we are moving towards a people's vote,

you know, labour, even momentum, which isjust you know, labour, even momentum, which is just the jeremy corbyn you know, labour, even momentum, which is just thejeremy corbyn fan club, has organised its supporters at the labour party conference using an app and social media and all the rest of it. and they are amateurs. and they are able to run this... do you even need an app for a conference? you even need an app for a conference ? i haven't you even need an app for a conference? i haven't been before, tomorrow is going to be my first attempt at this. do you need to download an app? can't you just turn 7 was download an app? can't you just turn up? was this then being too flashy and ambitious and getting it wrong, or do you really need one? you don't. brandon lewis, in this article, says it was apparently due to be unveiled as a sign of how much the party has modernised. digital strategy is really important to the conservatives, well, to all politicians, getting britain digital, making use of technology, digital, making use of technology, digital written, looking outwards, it is all pa

the idea it's some sort of foreign interference and the labour party is a bit far—fetched. and the labour party is a bit far-fetched. like russia and america scales, the lever investigation. interesting, i suppose is really another way perhaps for the paper coming at the split in the labour party, the quote from dancing as pa rt party, the quote from dancing as part ofan party, the quote from dancing as part of an attempt to quote purge moderates from labour, and it's exploring again the sort of divisions within the party. the interesting thing isjohn ryan and other non—core nights mps have motions of no confidence passed against them by their local parties. which, as some of the best that, does not actually alter anything. gavin is another example of that, passing a motion of no confidence is not something that has any effect in the labour party rules. but, it could be a precursor to them being deselected and not allowed to stand asa labour deselected and not allowed to stand as a labour candidate next time. it's a good way of activist local testing the support base and the fa ct testi

get your copy of labour briefing. at labour's liverpool conference, there's one thing on most people's minds. there is growing demand among the rank and file for a labour to back another public vote on any brexit deal. today, the labour leader said he'd listen to party members. 0ur preference would be for general election and then we can negotiate our future relationships with europe. but let's see what comes out of conference. we're a democratic party, we're very big. it's the biggest conference we've ever had. given that, do you feel bound by what the conference decides, as the leader? well, obviously. i'm there elected as leader of this party. the government has ruled out another election, insisting a brexit deal is possible even after its plan was rejected by the eu. i think what we need to do hold our nerve, keep our cool, continue to negotiate in good faith and really press the eu to be clearer on what their objections are. but here, unsurprisingly, they‘ re not happy leaving it to the government. behind the s

labour party. the former prime minister said many associates believe labour is lost and it may not be possible for moderates to take back control. the current labour leaderjeremy corbyn has been in leicester this morning and responded to the comments from tony blair. i think tony should recognise that party membership is now much bigger thanit party membership is now much bigger than it has ever been, the biggest it has been in my lifetime, over half a million members, and in the general election last year we set out what our aspirations are for the people of this country, aspirations of eliminating homelessness and aspirations of putting more money and resources into education through and resources into education through a national education service, ending university fees and building 500,000 council homes and taking water into public ownership, overwhelmingly popular policies. sadly we did not win it but we got the highest vote for labour since 2000. i think we need to recognise people are not p

dominated labour's summer. i do think the decisions that labour makes this week on whether or not to adopt in full, including examples, the internationally recognised definition of anti—semitism will be absolutely critical in terms of how this row eyes out. there are a number of labourmps this row eyes out. there are a number of labour mps looking at that position, asking themselves whether oi’ position, asking themselves whether or not they have a place in the labour party still. i think that decision by the nec group will be critical in determining what they do. the tories, of course, are totally divided on brexit. the cabinet will sit round on tuesday to discuss progress, if there has been some, over negotiations in brussels, discuss what happens next. it is not, though, just brexiteer tories that feel that the chequers plan is rubbish and feel it is a sell—out. there are many tory mps that feel she should be suggesting a much closer economic relationship with the eu, that is what they are urging her t
