a rare moment of celebration. this is a team with talent. still, england are heavy favourites to win, and win comfortably. it's a game we're excited for. it's exciting to play a team you've never played and, you know, see what they bring to the game. it's definitely not an opponent to take lightly, so, yeah, we are definitely switched on and ready for this one. as england get ready to write a new chapter in their history, the message from the fans couldn't be clearer. katie gornall, bbc news, brisbane. australia is a long way for england fans to travel to follow the team, but jane dougal has been speaking to some of those who have made the jounrey down under to support the team in their opening game. the sun is just starting to drop here in brisbane, it's starting to get chilly but that has not stopped fans from gathering here. not long to go until england play haiti and

draw on it, every day. so before we start our work this weekend, i just want to start by saying thank you to each and every one of you for what you have done. each and every one of you for what you have done-— each and every one of you for what you have done._ it - each and every one of you for what you have done._ it is . each and every one of you for what i you have done._ it is great you have done. applause. it is great to be here in — you have done. applause. it is great to be here in nottingham _ you have done. applause. it is great to be here in nottingham as- you have done. applause. it is great to be here in nottingham as well! i you have done. applause. it is great to be here in nottingham as well! a. to be here in nottingham as well! a city that shows the difference labour can make in power, a city with a sense of mission, that wants to be the first carbon neutral city in the uk. �* . ,, to be the first carbon neutral city in the uk._ and - to be the first carbon neutral city in the uk._ and it's i to be the first carbon neutral city in the uk._ and it's a | to be the first carbon neutral city i in the uk._ and it's a city in the uk. applause. and it's a city with a football _ in the uk. applause. and it's a city with a football team _ in the uk. applause. and it's a city with a football team that _ in the uk. applause. and it's a city with a football team that entered i with a football team that entered the title hopes of arsenal back in may and i know you are all as sad as i am about that one, we discussed at last night. friends, we start our work today in very good spirits, a record win, that is what we have donein

record win, that is what we have done in selby with a record win. i went there yesterday and we could feel history in the making. a huge effort from the activists, as it was in uxbridge. not least from our brilliant candidate danny! applause. so i want to thank _ brilliant candidate danny! applause. so i want to thank everyone - brilliant candidate danny! applause. so i want to thank everyone who i so i want to thank everyone who campaigned for the party in the last few weeks. but if anyone needed reminding that there is still a long way to go, uxbridge is the reminder. of course we have every reason to be confident. selby shows that. we have changed the party. opened our ears to the concerns of working people, shall we understand the value of service, country first, party

second. �* . ,, service, country first, party second._ but i service, country first, partyl second._ but that service, country first, party - second._ but that result in second. applause. but that result in uxbridue second. applause. but that result in uxbridge demonstrates _ second. applause. but that result in uxbridge demonstrates there - second. applause. but that result in uxbridge demonstrates there is i second. applause. but that result in | uxbridge demonstrates there is never any reason to be complacent. and never a reason to rest on our laurels. it's a reminder as danny said in an election, policy matters. and we are doing something very wrong if policies put forward by the labour party end up on each and every tory leaflet. we have got to face up to that and to learn the lessons. this party does not have a good record of winning from opposition. you all know that. and thejob, ourjob, everyone in this room of changing the labour party and winning power in a single term from where we started, that is a historic task. which means it requires historic levels of effort,

discipline and focus. we have got to ask yourself seriously, or our priority is the priorities of working people? or are theyjust the baggage that shows them we do not see the country through their eyes. we cannot take anything for granted so let's stay disciplined, make that tory attacks with hope, sure we can be trusted and that we measure up to the scale of the challenge. notjust in analysis or ideas but in our mindset. a labour government is not a magic wand that can simply wave away 13 years of unprecedented chaos as if it never happened. if we win, the risk ofjob will be like none other. think of it like this. if our job in 1997 was to rebuild a crumbling public realm, in 1964 to

modernise an economy left behind by the pace of technological change, or in 1945 to build a new britain out of the trauma of collective sacrifice, then in 2024, it will have to be all three. now is a time when politics feels broken, people are bruised by the last 13 years, they doubt even the most basic aspirations that this country will be better for our children. so aspirations that this country will be betterfor our children. so our journey back to decency, security, standing tall, and nhs fit for the future, safer streets in your community, cheap and clean electricity in your home, higher growth in your town, the glass ceiling shattered... it will be long, it will be difficult, and it will require extraordinary levels of

determination. but i look around this room, i looked around our country, all four of our great nations and i know that together we can do it and britain can do it! applause. which brings me to today. our national policy forum. another crucial step on thatjourney. now as you know, the national policy forum is always an important part of a democratic process. that means that lets us reach out to the breath of our labour family. lets us reach out to the breath of our labourfamily. two lets us reach out to the breath of our labour family. two communities through their representatives. to working people through their unions. ourfriendly societies working people through their unions. our friendly societies and affiliates, guardians of the diverse intellectual history of this movement. the cooperative party, the

alliance that still holds firm, colleagues, members in parliament, charities and businesses, the groups that have supported you through this process and of course, the members. who have entrusted so many of you with their voice. so i say let's roll up our sleeves, and fix the fundamentals.— this is the messy business of democracy in action. and i understand the responsibility that comes with representation. i understand that a lot of work has gone into this already and i thank you again for that. but before we get down to business, let me just say, rememberthis get down to business, let me just say, remember this is a process with a purpose. yes, it is a huge step on the road to our manifesto but do not

forget that clause one of our party commits us first and foremost to win power. that is my ultimate duty. the language of priorities is our religion, everyone remembers that quote, they sometimes forget the rest of the argument in the speech that only by the possession of power can you get the priorities correct. and what he said, that was right. we are nothing without power. and if anyone needs further convincing, not out of the window, look at our country, the stagnation, cuts to public services, attacks on working people, legislation that hits to the very heart of your democratic rights, hard—won over centuries by the great men and women of this movement. i can stand here and say we will change all of that in government and we will. but that is

the price of power.— government and we will. but that is the price of power._ so l government and we will. but that is i the price of power._ so let the price of power. applause. so let me say something — the price of power. applause. so let me say something about _ the price of power. applause. so let me say something about economic i me say something about economic stability which i notice at the forefront of many of the debates we are having this weekend. it is an imperative, it is always an imperative. every successful labour project including in 1945 has been built firmly upon it. because if you play fast and loose with the fundamentals of competent economic management, then ultimately it is working people have paid the price. applause. and that is the state of the country right now in a nutshell. the damage that happens when you lose control of the economy. it is all around us.

less than 12 months ago, one of the clearest lessons you will ever see went lustrous and kwasi karteng blew up went lustrous and kwasi karteng blew up the economy. they tanked the pound, tax codes, for the richest 1%, do not forget that. —— liz truss. most of all they were totally unfunded. there are no short cuts here, tough choices, it is not sound bites. it is the day to day reality we will face if we win power. clearing up their mess. applause. and even if— clearing up their mess. applause. and even if those _ clearing up their mess. applause. and even if those unfunded - and even if those unfunded commitments were for where the things they would still have left working people paying the price again, that is the lesson of economic stability. now that doesn't mean we cannot have helped, not a bit of that! take a mission for

cleaner, cheaper electricity by 2030. if we pull that off against this backdrop this will be right up there with building the nhs out of there with building the nhs out of the rubble of the second world war, an act of defiance to those who mistakenly see britain can no longer achieve great things. or the new dealfor working people achieve great things. or the new deal for working people stop the biggest levelling off working rights in a decade. a chance to finally make work pay in this country after years of stagnation. we are clear we want the highest sustained growth in the g7. we need the highest sustained growth in the g7 but we will not get their without fundamental economic reforms, changing business model a button and that means fixing our broken labour market which does far too little to encourage good jobs. and locks out to many communities from opportunity, not enough security for working people. and we are going to fix that. fix it for growth. fix it

for working people. and that is the thing about our five national emissions, we have a long—term plan for long—term prosperity. and they all come with clear targets that define success as we see it, the britain we hope to build. so take any of them. take our target of halving violence against women and girls. our commitment to get half a million more children hitting early developmental targets by 2030, they are not going to happen without bold ideas. and i know chuckling, tackling child poverty and social injustice is a massive part of that as well. we will not achieve those missions without that, of course we will not but we have to go about this step—by—step, shoulder to shoulder. it is a long—term project. a project that will only be realised

with credibility and discipline. that understands spending commitments must always be funded. and because they must always be funded, that you cannotjust keep piling them up. that is the old point about priorities again. and it must shave our work today for two reasons. firstly because the tories are watching, looking for us to slip up. make no mistake, they have given up up. make no mistake, they have given up on government, they have no record to defend soap next year, whenever that election comes, we know how they will fight, that is the lesson of oxbridge. all they can do now is oppose the labour party, attack our plans, distract from the record so we need to be ready and everything we do, starting today. secondly, because in the end, power is a partnership, certainly in this party but in times like this it is the only way to govern our country.

democracy is a shared undertaking. a collective mission. yes, there are priorities that are contested and debated and negotiated, absolutely, just like today and tomorrow. but in times like these, this country will only go forward when we find a way to pull together. business and worker. public and private. politics and people. a country united by a higher course will never compromise. an understanding that a nation is notjust a country but an understanding that a nation is not just a country but a an understanding that a nation is notjust a country but a community with obligations that we owe to each other. so today and tomorrow, as well as your democratic duty, hold that thought in your mind. reach for that thought in your mind. reach for that higher cause. and show that our party is ready, that are priorities of the priorities of working people, that we see the country through their eyes and we can deliver in

defiance of a volatile world, in defiance of a volatile world, in defiance of a volatile world, in defiance of the mess the tories have made, a britain that truly serves working people. thank you very much, conference! . ~ working people. thank you very much, conference! ., ,, , ., ~ ~ ,, conference! thank you! applause. thank you- — conference! thank you! applause. thank you. thank _ conference! thank you! applause. thank you. thank you. _ conference! thank you! applause. thank you. thank you. thank i conference! thank you! applause. thank you. thank you. thank you i conference! thank you! applause. i thank you. thank you. thank you very much. thank you. studio: that was sir keir starmer, leader of the labour party speaking at the national policy forum in nottingham. the speech comes after labour winning the by—election in selby. he did not go into details about what _ he did not go into details about what was — he did not go into details about what was wrong with him but he stated _ what was wrong with him but he stated his — what was wrong with him but he stated his road to recovery had been littered _ stated his road to recovery had been littered with potholes and he was still trying to get better. he clarified _ still trying to get better. he clarified he is not blind or

hello. if you have got out their plans this weekend you might need to have a quick rethink because the weather is not playing ball. quite a lot of rain around today and it will be quite windy and feeling quite cool for the latter stages ofjuly. cool for the latter stages of july. all cool for the latter stages ofjuly. all because of this area of low pressure drifting from the atlantic and sandwiched between these weather fronts, quite a lot of cloud and outbreaks of rain and drizzle at times. this has been the story so far, cloudy start for many by the far, cloudy start for many by the far north and east of scotland. a pulse of rain easing and another heavier pulse pushing into the north—west, that sets up the rest of the day to day. there will be outbreaks of rain from time to time and even if the rain eases it will be cloudy, damp and straight winds in the south—west, gusts exceeding 30-40 in the south—west, gusts exceeding 30—40 miles an hour. quite unusual for this time of year. the best of
