can i get your reaction _ to andy mcdonald resigning from the shadow cabinet?ad resigned from the shadow cabinet but i would like to pay tribute to andy... gulp! one of her colleagues in keir starmer�*s top team, andy mcdonald, had angrily resigned. 0h, goodness, i hadn't seen. it was news to her. i haven�*t, i�*m sorry. and others did not feel like chipping in. why has andy mcdonald - resigned now, do you think? has it been raining all afternoon? and it was a surprise to the leader�*s office, too. andy mcdonald, who had responsibility for employment, quit his own employment, thejob keir starmer had given him. an ally ofjeremy corbyn, who had stayed, now gone. out in protest because, he says, the party would not let him campaign for a £15 per hour minimum wage. i cannot in all conscience stay in a shadow cabinet that can�*t make that commitment. but what is his failure? is it refusing to listen to other people? is it dismissing other views? what is it? i believe we need to listen to each other�*s views and there is very little space for that at the moment. we n

andy mcdonald who is a shadow employment rights and protection secretary has resigned from the shadow cabinetas a shadow employment rights and protection secretary and told keir starmer that the party is more divided than ever. it's been a bit of a bumpy ride so far this party conference for care starmer but we will get some analysis on what exactly that means politically for the party from our political correspondent ian watson who is in brighton covering the party conference for us. we were hearing from the shadow chancellor headed to earlier on seeing she wants to be the green chancellor first queen chancellor of the uk but labor shadow secretary for employment rights and be mcdonald has resigned. more on that interestjust a moment. let me tell you that the accounting regulator has fined the auditors of the collapsed bakery chain more than £2 million. they admitted not following rolls and the man who carried out the orders was also fined over £85,000 for his role in signing off the accounts. lava from the volcano left, and the canary islands is continuing to flow and now approaching the se

one of keir starmer�*s shadow cabinet has quit in dramatic fashion, citing frustration with keir starmershould back raising the minimum wage. andy macdonald is someone who was seen as being close tojeremy corbyn, so he wasn't necessarily a natural political friend of keir starmer in any case, but quitting during conference, during a vital moment for the party is a really good example of the tension that is still there between keir starmer and many people on the left of the party. laura, in a very windy brighton, thank you. the government's latest coronavirus figures for the uk, show there were nearly 38,000 new infections recorded in the latest 2a hour period. that means in the past week, there was an average of 34,500 new cases per day. another a0 deaths have been recorded, that's of people who died within 28 days of a positive covid test, taking the average number per day in the last week, to 137. 0n vaccinations, wales did not release its latest vaccination data today but for the rest of the uk, now over 89.5% of people aged 16 or over have had theirfirstjab, while nearly 82.5% are no

the things this week but overall, the conference floor to most to their feet many times, the shadow cabinetg him loudly because he had a very big speech to deliver, it was a very big moment for him. he talked about his upbringing, where he came from, the dignity of work and his parents, his mum and dad. and also his past life, as director of public prosecutions, and that led him to talk aboutjustice and the fact that fighting crime should be a labour issue. his comments about borisjohnson, interestingly, what about the pact, he said that the prime minister does not think the rules apply to him, and he put this government on notice. he said boris johnson is a trickster, trivial, a showman with nothing left to show. a slightly different approach to perhaps what we have heard in the past two boris johnson, perhaps what we have heard in the past two borisjohnson, he very much wants to paint himself as a serious politician in serious times, in stark contrast to the prime minister. that he is, being feted by the party faithful as he walks through the auditorium. said we would be speaking to his d

remember andy mcdonald left the shadow cabinet.mbolic to beat for keir starmer, but he's making it very clear that the party will look at this issue up to the next election, and from his point of view, this vote will not be binding on leadership. this will not become a commitment. this will be further down the line. so his aids are saying they are relaxed about the outcome. but what was interesting in the bbc interview, keir starmer was askedif the bbc interview, keir starmer was asked if he thought winning was more important than unity. it looks as though he can't reform or unite. i think we've seen some of the disunity. he's hoping that this week will close the door from the past and he'll be able to move on, even though there is some dissent from the floor. i've been hearing there is, because one of the delegates said keir starmer himself was backing the £15 an hour wage for mcdonald's workers back in 2019, before he was labour leader. 0ne mcdonald's workers back in 2019, before he was labour leader. one of the smaller unions is

industries, leadership election rules and the level of the minimum wage with a member of the shadow cabinetspeeches given in person as labour leader. he'll use it to say that britain is facing big questions like how we emerge from the pandemic and deal with climate change. he is expected to say that politics needs to grow to meet the scale of the challenge and to accuse the government of falling short in its handling of the fuel shortages at petrol stations. the speech comes at the end of a party conference which has seen sir keir clash repeatedly with a left wing of his party. one shadow minister resigned, a trade union ended its formal link to labour after more than 100 years. sir keir starmer is also under pressure to attract back voters who have drifted away from labour and he is clear what the priority is. what's more important to you? unity or winning? winning, winning a general election. i didn't come into politics to vote over and over in parliament and lose and tweet about it. i came into politics to go into government to change millions of lives for the better. aides say the speec
