our political correspondent jessica parker is at westminster. us on what the snp have been saying today. nicola sturgeon, their leader, suggesting they may be able to supportjeremy corbyn as a caretaker prime minister. all this week since parliament returned the snp appear to be gently opening the door to the idea of some sort of caretaker government in order to secure two things. an extension to brexit, a delay beyond october the 31st, and a snap election. more explicit suggestions today from the likes of ian blackford, the snp leader westminster, and nicola sturgeon in hollywood, as to whether they would putjeremy corbyn in downing street in order to make that happen. let's listen to what nicola sturgeon has been saying. i'm not pushing jeremy corbyn as interim prime minister or anybody else as interim prime minister, i'm no great fan ofjeremy corbyn. my point is the opposition needs to act to get boris johnson, the most disreputable prime minister in my lifetime, out of office, stop a no deal and then as quickly as possible move to a general e

our political correspondent jessica parker is at westminster. stand this is actually a second attempt now that we will see tomorrow. what has happened is earlier this evening there was a national executive committee, labour's body, they meet frequently during the conference period. there was an emergency motion put forward by the founder of momentum. momentum was founded in support ofjeremy corbyn with the idea of abolishing the post of deputy leader, in effect, moving tom watson out of that role by abolishing that post. what we understand is that sheraton i's meeting ruled that out of order. but there was another boat and they decided to put it on the nec agenda for tomorrow morning. if that motion passes, and many expected will, it would then go to the conference floor. so all those people, delegates, unions who sit and loads as delegates —— who sit and vote as delegates, would vote. this was an emergency motion, people didn't know it was happening, and i think it was going to spark a lot of anger over the next 12 hours. we can't be sure what i
