it's one thing sounding as if it is won but as chuka umunna says there's work to be done outside ande more they liked him. that is our role at the moment to give people as much exposure to him as possible. what people also see is the issue of brexit not being voted on in this hall partly because momentum e—mailed people saying, this is a list of the votes we want cast and we want brexit right down there. was that a mistake. it is a shame that the current leadership will not be any different from the other leaderships which want to avoid a vote on issues that potentially don't go their way! that is nothing new. for me the issue is the principle. it is interesting to see the package because my own view is that i am pleased that labour leadership moved during transition to a position where we want to stay in the single market and the customs union. i'd like that to be our permanent position. i'm pleased with the change but i want to nudge it to the next stage. not just because of thejobs element. the difference between having access to the single market and membership of it is, anyone c

chuka umunna saying we should be discussing this is avoiding it.om some labour sources that there may be something tomorrow. we know that keir starmer, the shadow brexit secretary will be making a speech tomorrow. there seems to be a suggestion that could be broader, it may be a vote of some kind. it will not be the vote that many labour mps wa nt not be the vote that many labour mps want on the single market in particular. this is a conundrum not just for the tory party. they have had their issues with europe but labour are clearly has an issue as well. if it is so divisive maybe it is sensible not to have a vote and avoid damage? they would say the leadership — we haven't got to the end of the negotiations. . they'll say what is the point of a conference trying to bind the party to something when everything could change in the next year or the next two or three years. but of course, this is seen as ever asa but of course, this is seen as ever as a bit ofa but of course, this is seen as ever as a bit of a battle between some of the labour mps who'

you think the days of chuka umunna or tom watson are gone? not at all. you would have them back? and have shown yourself as a loyalist. would you say to him this is the time to open up the big tent? the tent is growing, as you've seen at this conference, the tent is so big that is is hard to find the venue big enough for a conference. so there is no spite going on. this is one of the most positive party conferences i have ever been to. it is a very special energy. tom watson made a very fine unity speech today which i congratulated him on. so it would be a better story for you know if there was some kind of secret in fighting still going on. it is easy for you to ask, are the older shadow cabinet members, welcome back him, or not really within his sights set at their welcome but there are people who are filling jobs very well the moment and you cannot expect their loyalty and their brilliance not to be rewarded. let me just ask you to pick up something len mccluskey earlier. looking at anti—semitism, no one better placed in the party to look at this venue. the party today drew a

that was obviously a labour row remained voice —— chuka umunna.see more progress for british business, that would give them the security and confidence they need in a post—brexit world. but whether his language has increased or reduced tensions remains to be seen. we are still waiting to get reaction from the european commission. iain watson there. the private sector security company gas has suspended nine members of staff from an immigration removal centre near gatwick airport following an investigation by bbc‘s panorama. the programme says it has covert footage recorded at brook house showing officers "mocking, abusing and assaulting" people being held there. joining me isjerry petherick, managing director for gas‘s custodial and detention services. thank you very much forjoining us on bbc news today. first of all, what's your response to the panorama programme? good morning. i haven't seen programme? good morning. i haven't seen the footage as yet, i'm names are responding to the written allegations that we received last thursday. —— i am only

the labourmp, making the conservative, and chuka umunna the labour mp, making the case for continued to avoid chaos in the economy and at the borders. the eu wants us to discuss the divorce settlement first, we're not even near trade negotiations as far as we can see from the mood music. it's frustrating, is it? david davis is probably the only optimistic person out there, i don't think you'll find anybody else who thought the talks went well, they don't seem to have made much progress at all. there are huge figures being bandied about in the divorce bill. everybody, even borisjohnson crop will accept, who was telling the eu to go and whistle a few months ago, the accept we have to pay our legal responsibilities. it's a lot of money, unquestionable, it's understandable the government wa nts it's understandable the government wants the right deal for the taxpayers. it's a fairly small drop in the ocean compared to the of billions of pounds of trade we do with eu every year. that we should be getting on to talk about in short order. should we come up with the money because in the long—

when your colleague chuka umunna put down a motion in the house of commons to save sisley this, stayy did jeremy corbyn say don't do that, he sacked some of his frontbenchers. that suggests me mr corbyn is not in a place to move on this. i could say since then jeremy himself has moved his position. to be honest, i did not think he would. i'm delighted jeremy and the leadership have moved its position where i was a few months ago. i think we need to move further for the sake of ourjobs, for the sake of labour standards, for the sake of labour standards, for the sake of labour standards, for the sake of our economy and basically the tory government is in total chaos over brexit. it is really doing damage to this country. if we are a party of government we have to have a responsible position the british people can support. if you were to win the argument and labour would back the single market, are you suggesting labour should become the pro—eu party? suggesting labour should become the pro-eu party? we are already more pro—eu than the conservatives? there are many other governments and

chuka umunna says they should not that the debate but lead it and ben bradshaw says it undermines theouple of minutes there has been an indication from labour sources that there may be something tomorrow. we know kia starmer, the shadow brexit secretary, will make a speech tomorrow. there seems to be a suggestion that could be broader and might bea suggestion that could be broader and might be a vote of some kind. i don't think it will be about many labour mps want about the single market in particular. this is a conundrum not just for the market in particular. this is a conundrum notjust for the tory party, we know they have had their issues with europe over the years and have seen a lot of it over the summer, that labour clearly has an issue as well. the headlines on bbc news: exit polls in germany show angela merkel has been re—elected chancellor for a fourth term. the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, resists calls from within his own party to commit to keeping britain in the european single market and customs union indefinitely after brexit. nfl players kneel during the american anth
