southern wales to the wash and south of that will see drier weather. temperatures overnight are not as cold as last night, a minimum of around six to nine celsius. two weather fronts tomorrow, the first one pushes north—east quite quickly, the second, hot on its hills, bringing some cloud and outbreaks of rain. tomorrow looks generally cloudier and it will create towards an old front is, pushing its roots in bringing patchy rainfor pushing its roots in bringing patchy rain for scotland, northern ireland, northern england and wales. becoming increasingly patchy as it pushes east. look at the temperatures, highs of 13 or 1a celsius. into thursday, a good deal of sunshine across england and wales, some good spells of sunshine developing. more cloud in the north and west and the chance of seeing the odd spot of rain or drizzle, temperatures a

morning some of the biggest names in cricket has gathered head of 100 days to go until the start of the tournament where ten countries will be competing to lift this very trophy. but england, they are the favourites. how are they going to deal with that pressure?” favourites. how are they going to deal with that pressure? i don't think alan morgan and the guys, they properly won't take any notice. they will be concentrating on what they got to do. they have a one—day series in the west indies and then pakistan and then the world cup warm up pakistan and then the world cup warm up game. they have a lot of cricket together, just need to keep everyone fit and firing and they will be very excited by the opportunity of a once—in—a—lifetime. excited by the opportunity of a once-in-a-lifetime. away from all the action being planned on the pitch, plenty is going on behind the scenes. some of that includes making sure the tournament will be safe and the introduction of entry drone technology at some of the matches. that is to help protect their web prevent terrorism and avoid the issues which faced gatwick airport

parts of the country that have been held back by decades of neglect. as oui’ held back by decades of neglect. as our shadow business secretary has said, this is about the jobs at the end of the road from the clyde to the humberto the mersey. technology and manufacturing don't have to be a threat to our environment. our responsibility is to develop the next generation of technology that will help us to preserve our natural world and protect our resources. labour is committed to investing on a scale that will transform our economy. these policies won huge public support of the general election, only 18 months ago. so i am disappointed that a small number of mps decided to take a different path. but this is an agenda which unites half a million labour party members inside and outside parliament. along with millions of people across this country. and we

have been upfront in saying that in return for that investment we will ask the largest businesses that can afford it to pay a bit more towards the common good. because the government's corporation tax cuts have not increased investment and growth. indeed, the conservatives had nine years to fix the fundamentals of our economy but have left it weak and unprepared for the future. and just as they failed to invest in infrastructure, so too have they failed to invest in skills. i travelled around the country all the time, i'm visit many manufacturers and other employers. and i've been struck how often they tell me about the difficulty of recruiting skilled labour, how they are dependent often on a much older workforce as they don't have young people coming into manufacturing industry and they want them. of course, there are organisations and

companies doing good work, make uk own training and premiership there we re own training and premiership there were a friendship programme are excellent. i visited the training centre twice and i've been extremely impressed by the way young people are helped to get the best out of their working lives. but as a country we are moving in the wrong direction. university fees, the scrapping of grants and the cuts to training have made education less accessible just when we need a highly skilled workforce of more than ever. so the great legacy of the next labour government will be to reverse this trend with the creation of a national education service that makes education freely available to everyone whatever their age, from cradle to grave, just like the national health service is there for all of us. i pay tribute to our shadow education secretary who is here today, for the work she is

doing to drive this forward. tony benn used to say that education should be like an escalator going alongside you throughout life, that you can get on and off whenever you want. what a wonderful way of putting it. so today i am proud to announce the appointment of our commission for lifelong learning, to help make the principle of lifelong learning a reality. what is unreal is the lack of water! it's all right... it solved. thank you. the commission will bring together 1a experts from across education, top names in their fields, experts from across education, top names in theirfields, including make uk is very own chief economist. it is co—chaired by the former education secretary estelle morrice and the general secretary of the

communication workers union, dave ward. andi communication workers union, dave ward. and i want to thank gordon marsden who is here today, our shadow ministerfor marsden who is here today, our shadow minister for higher education, further education and skills. gordon's passion for lifelong learning has been crucial in bringing these people together and part of angela's team is absolutely dedicated to making sure this commission works really well and comes up with exciting ideas that we are going to put into practice in government. the commission's task is to devise an inclusive system of adult education to be implemented by the next labour government that will transform the lives of millions and rescale our economy. lifelong learning will be available to everyone, no matter what their background, employment status or previous education is. the commission will make detailed proposals on how to integrate qualifications, introduce a credit system to make qualifications transferable, and make it as easy as possible for people to pick up or

pause their studies at times that work for them during their lives. it will break down barriers between different types of education. the opportunity to retrain at any point will help close the gap between the skills people have and the skills our economy so desperately needs for the future. we know that you industries evolve and old industries collapse. technological advance can create great anxiety for people. so for me the national education service and its commitment to lifelong learning is a form of social security. under a labour government workers will never again be left feeling discarded because there will be an industrial strategy creating good, well—paid jobs and training to help workers learn new skills for the future. it makes no sense for people to be only educated for the first quarter of their lives and then work for the rest of their days with outdated skills. it is a

waste of potential. let's give people the skills to flourish. i strongly believe there should be a genuine parity between vocational education and academic education. we have to end the outdated grammar school mentality of looking down on someone school mentality of looking down on someone who does a vocational course and looking up to someone who does and looking up to someone who does an academic course. i see the skills of electrical work, of computer work, of design work, learn through vocational courses is just as valuable as academic courses taken at university. we need all of those skills in our society. i remember from my own school days being told by my art teacher, who frankly did not appreciate any of my abstract painting, he said, corbin, you are no good at art, go and do woodwork. and i was sent to the woodwork shop.

and i was sent to the woodwork shop. and told that this was a last resort. woodwork was looked down on in those days. in germany, where they really value engineering, they say you are a clever kid, get down to the metal workshop. so education must be designed to get the best out of everybody and available to all, delivered through colleges, universities, unions and directly fire employers. if a labour government is going to make this big investment in skills that will have benefits for business then we do ask something in return, that as employers you step up to invest in your workforce too. last week i visited the gear manufacturing company bird and hitchen harlow. a fascinating visit, i spent a long time they're talking to people doing highly skilled work. and at the end of that i met carroll, a supervisor. she is partially sighted. she was doing the final checking and polishing on the gears, and she had been provided with everything she

needed such as big screens to help her do her work, and she is absolutely brilliant at it and very proud of the work she does. that is a sensible employer, who has made investment in somebody who is very good at theirjob, and is paying off for carol but it's also paying for the company. as i said, as well as skilled workforces and high quality infrastructure, manufacturing needs a stable trading relationship to thrive, which brings us on to brexit. earlier this month i wrote to the prime minister, setting out labour's alternative plan, based around a permanent customs union with a british say in future trade deals. a strong relationship with the single market and a full guarantee on workers' rights, consumer standards and environmental protections. later this week i am travelling to brussels to discuss theseissues

travelling to brussels to discuss these issues with michelle barnier and his colleagues. it is a plan we are convinced with win the support of parliament, he negotiated with the eu and help to bring the country together. it has been widely welcomed as a way of breaking the impasse. so i call on the government and mps across parliament to end the brexit uncertainty and back labour's credible alternative plan. it is reg retta ble credible alternative plan. it is regrettable that so far the prime minister has instead chosen to stick within approach that has already been rejected, refusing to move from her divisive and damaging red lines. business investment is falling, and confidence is evaporating due to the uncertainty that has been created by the government's strategy. let's have no pretense, that if the prime minister could only get her deal through parliament then certainty would be restored. the political

declaration she negotiated talks of andi declaration she negotiated talks of and i quote, a spectrum of different outcomes for administrative process as well as checks and controls. a spectrum of different outcomes. what use is that when you are making very important and significant investment decisions? if the prime minister is unable to adopt a sensible deal because it would split the tories, then in my view there needs to be a general election. without it we will keep all options on the table including the option of a public vote on our future. the country cannot be taken over the cliff edge for the sake of the unity of the conservative party. the government is running down the clock in an attempt to blackmail mps with the threat of crashing out without a deal. this is extraordinarily reckless. it puts our manufacturing sector, your industries, at risk.

labour has consistently advocated a comprehensive uk eu customs union to deliver frictionless trade and protect supply chains that stretch across the continent. i outlined this last year in a speech i made in coventry. disrupting this last year in a speech i made in coventry. disru pting these this last year in a speech i made in coventry. disrupting these supply chains would threaten their businesses and the skilled jobs that we cannot afford to lose. take the car industry for example, the decision by nissan to pull investment in the sunderland plant was just the thin end of the wedge. jaguar land rover is said to be stockpiling parts in preparation for a nodal brexit. but it can only prepare for days not weeks of disruption because the company uses 25 million separate parts today. ford has reportedly warned the prime minister it could cease production in the uk entirely, threatening 13,000 directly employed workers. and has said that no deal would be

quote, catastrophic for the uk's auto industry. and although not directly linked to brexit, today we learned that honda is planning to close its plant in swindon at a cost of 3500 jobs. it is being debated now in parliament. that is devastating news for those workers, for theirfamilies devastating news for those workers, for their families and for the local economy that has been generated largely around that plant and other new industries that have moved in following the collapse of the railway industry. it is bad news too for all the small and medium—size businesses that make up the supply chain for these companies. and while the government is boasting it has secured a trade deal with the faroe islands, it is doing nothing to protect skilled jobs and industry here in britain. 0f protect skilled jobs and industry here in britain. of course, concerns about a no deal in the crash that would go with it go well beyond the car industry. take food and drink. actually the uk's largest

manufacturing sector. it needs frictionless trade for perishable goods where time is obviously of the essence. 0n steel, half the steel we produce is exported, most to the eu. a disaster is no—deal brexit would mean trade restrictions on virtually all steel companies export markets. and while the big household names get all the media attention it is the small and medium—sized manufacturers who will find it most burdensome to adjust to new customs regulations. brexit has crystallised a choice about the kind of economy we want. 0n the one hand, the harsh economic environment fostered by the conservatives low investment, low productivity, low growth. and a damaging trade deal with donald trump and the usa. on the other, labor's investment led approach underpinned by a close relationship

with our european neighbours in a rebalanced economy that no longer privileges those who lend and speculate over those who actually make things. these are very anxious times for manufacturers. but the future doesn't have to be one of decline. with a government that believes in and supports industry, manufacturing will be the engine of innovation in the green economy of the future. infrastructure, skills, certainly that is what manufacturing needs. and that is what only labour will deliver. thank you very much for inviting me to your conference today. applause i think we have some time for questions, so as we did before, if you would like to put your hand up and state your name and affiliation. before we do that i would like to

thank you in behalf of the manufacturing sector and make uk. you have listened to our concerns. it is great to see you being supported by angela and gordon because skills is another one issue for the sector and i think we enjoyed dotted out and we look forward to continuing that relationship going forward. thank you for the tool box you gave me. it is frequently used to make repairs! let's start over here. mr corbin, you are here discussing business and the economy and brexit. yesterday seven mps, as you said, resigned from the party saying you are anti—business, wrong and brexit. they also say you tolerate anti—semitism. what you say to those mps who are now saying they are now considering following them out of the party and the larger number who say those complaints are justified? let's take another one as well. 0ver

there. we'll get a good balance. good afternoon. mr corbyn, you know —— i know you said it was that when you planning to invoke your policy and call for a second referendum? 0ne and call for a second referendum? one more? that one there. that lady there. british engineering and manufacturing has been one of the uk's manufacturing has been one of the uk's success stories of the last 100 years, employing 2.7 million people around the uk. what will labour do

to ensure that the parliament reaches a deal before the 29th of march so that we don't see the job losses, reduction and investment and higher prices to consumers? 0k. thank you. the first one, thank you very much from the bbc. i regret that seven mps decided they would no longer remain part of the labour party. i thank them for their work, i hope they recognise they were elected to parliament on a manifesto that was based around investment in the future, was based around a more equal and fairer society, was based around social justice. and equal and fairer society, was based around socialjustice. and it is that programme i believe we will be able to put to the electorate in the future that does have enormous support. they were elected to carry out those policies, they have decided to go somewhere else. and i regret that. because i want our

party to be strong, i want it to be united around the policies we have put forward. 0n the second referendum, thank you for your question. in parliament a couple of weeks ago, i put down an amendment to the prime minister putt motion from the labour front bench which included quite specifically the option at the end of the process of a popular vote on the any deal that is reached with the european union. i put it down in line with the policy put forward by our conference. this government is running down the clock and threatening a no deal exit from the european union, which i think would be very dangerous and very damaging to our economy and jobs all across the country. and we have made that very clear. that is why we did get a backbench motion through parliament which said no deal should be taken off the table and i see that as an absolute necessity that we take no deal off the table and negotiate

intelligently with the european union as to the way forward, which is why i am taking a delegation to brussels on thursday in order to put that forward. because the worry that people have over investment, over jobs, over supply chains, people have over investment, over jobs, oversupply chains, and people have over investment, over jobs, over supply chains, and over education and so many other areas, is absolutely serious at the present time. this government has had now two and a half years to negotiate and apparently has no trade deals with anybody else and keeps some threatening no deal. we will do everything we can to prevent a no deal. we will do everything we can to protect jobs deal. we will do everything we can to protectjobs and industries across this country. and to reach out to those who want to work with us, which is why i put forward the amendment i did and will be doing the same again next week depending on what the prime minister brings back. and that is why i'm taking a delegation to brussels on thursday. let's take another small group of questions. 0ne over here. let's take another small group of questions. one over here. you said

what your message is to the mp5 who have left your party, but what is your message to those, many of them who are saying privately that unless the party changes, unless the way you operate changes, that they will follow suit and leave the party? what is your message to them and what will you do differently in the future to keep them in?|j what will you do differently in the future to keep them in? i think we have one at the back there that has been up fora have one at the back there that has been up for a while, which would be good. thank you. june is keeping fit, running around. a bit of health and well—being. june is keeping fit, running around. a bit of health and well-being. i'm second—generation in a family manufacturing business employing 30 people. we make a great contribution to the community, i think we pay

more out in tax that we pay out in dividends and take home pay and we are proud of doing that. my concern is my daughters have now come into the business, they are the third generation. will they be able to ta ke generation. will they be able to take over the business under a labour government? 0r take over the business under a labour government? or will the concern about wealth inequalities in the business will need to be broken 7 the business will need to be broken d the business will need to be broken up? and maybe one more question from this side... let's do that over in the corner, that lady. sorry, june, i'm doing the most extreme is for you so you can i'm doing the most extreme is for you so you can run around i'm doing the most extreme is for you so you can run around the hall. do you agree with your deputy tom watson at the front bench of the labour party needs to broaden out to better reflect the range of views in the wider parliamentary labour

party? ok. thank you for the questions. first the question from sky news. we have developed our policies and the party over the past few years by working with our half million members, the biggest membership the labour party has ever had, and they are radical policies i acknowledge, they are also very popular policies on housing, education, the environment, the economy and industrial development. and we do our best to put all those policies forward. they are discussed frequently with parliamentary collea g u es frequently with parliamentary colleagues through select committees, interest groups within the party, and we are making huge progress. angela and gordon are here with me today, they have developed the national education service from an original idea put forward in the party and in conference, and they are bringing it to a reality and consulting vary widely in achieving that, and so
