from the stories that were told by thejewish labour movement and by thejewish labour movement and by clear that we made a promise to thejewish community we must honour it. our promise was that you will never walk alone and we will never walk by on the other side. that is a promise i repeat today, we will not neglect you or forget you, we will not desert you. if your voice is ever silenced or never able to get through, we will lend you are voice because we know, thatjust a jerk freedoms and yes, the labour party, often the last line of defence, for people facing persecution and discrimination, and you know we must never allow the last line of defence to become the first point of attack. we must never allow ourselves to be ina we must never allow ourselves to be in a position where we are not the problem rather than the answer to the problem. in the future. so i wa nt to the problem. in the future. so i want to say to you, very clearly today that the international holocaust remembrance allowance definition of semitism is something that we must support unequivocally and immediately. so

he took pa rt thejewish labour movement. he took part ina thejewish labour movement.our experiences as a jewish mp. what really saying? i wanted to talk about my experiences helping my constituents campaigning on major issues but most of the questions we re issues but most of the questions were about anti—semitism, many people said they had to resign their membership because they were so concerned and others wanted to know what was being done to combat it. there was anger but also upset, people want a labour government and they want it to deal with inequalities that they are perplexed on how we have become so dominated by its failure to deal with anti—semitism. by its failure to deal with anti-semitism. it does seem to dominate the agenda. what do you make of what jeremy dominate the agenda. what do you make of whatjeremy corbyn is doing about it? he is our leader but he isn't dealing with the key challenge, he must start acting, adopt the international definition, deal with a long legacy of cases of anti—semitism from members of the labour party and staff the unit th

it comes as thejewish labour movement holds its conference in north london. dame louise ellman, told my colleague christian fraser that changing labour's adopted definition of anti—semitism would not be enough to fix underlying problems with the leadership and the culture within the party. people are extremely upset, extremely angry, and many of us are campaigning to bring change. john mcdonnell is right to say that everything problem, but the leader of the labour party isjeremy corbyn, and it isjeremy corbyn who must put it right. you say that he is worried about walking away without talking to the leadership. you one of those who might have considered the same as frank field? no, iam considered the same as frank field? no, i am not thinking about resigning anything. i am campaigning for change. but this cannot go on indefinitely, and jeremy must understand that this is a major problem. the party is failing to deal with anti—semitism in its ranks. his own comments are not helping, his recent comment about jews, he says, scientists being something not quite en

five years ago at the jewish labour movement anti—semitism would not have been the agenda. uld have been one issue and we would have been talking about howjudaism and the labour over movement had the same values of equality and hope. there is sadness because we should not be talking about this. it is looking like the labour nec will adopt the international definition of it, but with caveats. what do you make of that? i hope they do. this is notjust make of that? i hope they do. this is not just about make of that? i hope they do. this is notjust about dues, it is about any minority and head the leader's office particularly treats minorities and listens to what they say. we define our own lives and how we want to be treated. but that is only one very small piece of the work. you talked about the mood and i have noticed a lot of people are frustrated and disappointed and upset they are having to spend so much time and energy talking about the very issue of anti—semitism. what are we doing in 2018 talking about whether or not it is all right or not to despise dues? we need to b

arguments this summer about anti—semitism, that some sort of solution had to be found where the labour movementeir decision this afternoon to adopt this definition shows as well as an anger that it wasn't being taken into account, but a political acceptance that this was necessary to try and ensure the labour party can be seen publicly to be talking about other things. all summer this row has been significant in the opportunity cost. the party wanted to talk about plenty of other things and nobody has been listening because the focus has been listening because the focus has been listening because the focus has been on this row, and they will hope this is the beginning of talking about other things. hope this is the beginning of talking about other thingslj hope this is the beginning of talking about other things. i think we can see mr corbyn leaving in the background. if there's any more reaction we'll come back to you straightaway. scotland's first minister, nicola sturgeon, has pledged an extra quarter a billion pounds of investment in mental health provision, particularly for young people, o

politics was dominated by the social democrats, a party with roots in the labour movement which, throughold hybrid of socialism and liberalism, appeared to achieve startling results. these are the richest people in the world. they have the highest standard of living in a super welfare state which has abolished poverty and eliminated strikes, where everything and everyone works. the only country in the world were seven—year—olds attend lessons on sex. sweden projected itself as a model to emulate, but even in the 1960s people were asking is the good sweden narrative to good to be true? all around the town you can see the discrepancy between the swede as he is, and as he'd like to be. they worship themselves in images of bronze, but are the trolls and gremlins creeping back? one thing the swedes have always worshipped is the sun. that discrepancy is even starker today. sweden still regularly comes out at or near the top of international rankings for happiness and prosperity. but it spends less than it used to on welfare and public services. we have been so lucky here. now i think we have s

the jewish labour movement held its conference here at a community centre in north london and it sayseen the wider community and the party which have been stretched to breaking point. and some very prominent voices agree with them. jeremy corbyn must repent and recant as quickly as possible, so as to regain the trust of thejewish and general public. the shadow chancellor responded with an offer of peace talks. i would just say to lord sacks, i just think you've misinterpreted what's gone on, i think you really have misinterpreted jeremy. i have known him for over 30 years. his whole life has been devoted to anti—racism, to peace and justice. come and meet him and you will understand that. but for this mp, who's clashed withjeremy corbyn over anti—semitism, something more dramatic is needed to rebuild trust. i don't thinkjeremy corbyn can't solve the problem, because he is the problem. do you think he should go? i think he should reflect on that but i have sincerely come to the view that he cannot solve the problem because he is the problem. senior labourfigures want to detoxify the an

it comes as thejewish labour movement holds its conference in north london. 0ur correspondent simon jonesence got under way around half an hour ago. they are expecting around 300 delegates to attend. the keynote speech will be from gordon brown later this morning. it will be entered in to see what messages he has for the current labour leader, jeremy corbyn. particularly in light of what they shadowed out letters warning about, a possible split in the party. let's speak to one of those who is taking part. you are from the pressure group, progress, ce ntre—left from the pressure group, progress, centre—left pressure group. how concerned are you about people talking about the labour party spitting? i am not concerned about that, butjohn mcdonnell has created an environment from which jewish people do not feel they can be in the labour party or support them. they can't do the simple things, adopt an international recognised definition of anti—semitism, call out the hate speech online and those that do it injeremy corbyn‘s name. this is simple things to deal with this issue, and it is action

labour party. i agree. there is a growing movement within the labour party to say we should be going down the road ofa say weown the road of a second referendum. theresa may has ruled it out absolutely. labour's position has kind of, well, we might have one, let's see how we go. they haven't ruled it out, basically. so, yes, it does do that. obviously the observer is now coming down on the side of the referendum. they have a leader on the front page, so they are calling for a second referendum. take the two together and we can see a movement building up. the observer being a labour supporting paper, ithink that puts more pressure on the labour party as well. yes, we have this movement called people's vote, but what would it take to get a second referendum 7 but what would it take to get a second referendum? my view is that it would take a huge, dramatic shift in public opinion to even be able to consider it. i think we've got to the point now where probably, you couldn't do it before the 29th of march, when we are due to leave europe. but you would have to have a demonstrable change of heart by people to eve

on the parliamentary chair of the jewish labour movement. just the jewish community, examples can be accepted. it is not just thejewish community, if we look further afield, there are organisations like trade unions who have adopted the ihra definition with all of its examples in full. over 130 councils across our country, many of whom out the site are labour, people will say, why are we treating this, why is the labour party treating this in a different way to these other organisations that have adopted? particularly when trust in the british are the party amongst the jewish divinity because of everything that has happened is atan of everything that has happened is at an all—time low? of everything that has happened is at an all-time low? we lost to use phrases like crunch meeting. how important is this decision today? where does it leavejeremy corbyn? evenif where does it leavejeremy corbyn? even if the entire definition is adopted today it'll only take us back to we should have been when this was initially discussed back in july. i am appa

the clp who voted, the constituency part of the labour party, that voted to not have thejewish labour movementreement in any form tojeremy dissent or disagreement in any form to jeremy and his dissent or disagreement in any form tojeremy and his leadership. it should be about the issues. it needs to stop being about him as a person. it should be about him as a leader and how we come together as a party to deal with some of the biggest issues that this country is facing. thank you forjoining us. it‘s quarter to ten. fancy tossing the caber? tug of war? i‘m good at that. i think. haven‘t done it for a while. the braemar gathering is the biggest event in the calendar of the highland games, and has attracted royal spectators since queen victoria in 1848. catriona renton is there this morning. it's it‘s exciting to get underwear. we have had the procession that got the gathering under way. you can probably hear the pipes in the background. people warming up for the day where heavy events will take place soon. behind me is the centrepiece, the duke of rothesay pavilion which will be open to the publ

but you have to rely on the trade union labour movement to support that first.ess association that you are not currently a member, is your application being considered? no, the official line from the labour party is that they do not comment on individual memberships. i understand that. the reality is, i'm a member. it is in writing and there's no question about it. derek hatton, thank you for your time. thank you very much. in a moment we'll have all the business news, but first the headlines on bbc news... two years after the death of a teenager who ate a pret—a—manger baguette containing sesame seeds, the coroner rules that the company's food labelling was inadequate. president trump has backed thejudge he's nominated for the united states' top court, after a dramatic hearing into allegations of sexual assault. borisjohnson has attacked the prime minister's brexit plan, saying it would "cheat the electorate" — and he's put forward an alternative strategy for a free—trade deal with the eu. i'm sally bundock, in the business news... could tesla be facing a futur

there are so many wings and movements of the labour party at the moment which makes it dammed if youisa you do, dammed if you don't. there is a new demon in the story every day. if you support them, you are anti—semitic and if you oppose them you are weakened and giving into the bullying. can i get some reaction what progress has said, the ce ntreleft what progress has said, the centreleft movement. the real action peter willsman shows institutional anti—semitism in the party and the need for action, however with mr willsman at the top table, that is less likely to happen. let's do the second thing first, there has been enormous action. no other political party and there is no evidence by the way that labour has any more anti—semitism than any other party, no other party has had a report, no other party, as far as i know has set upa other party, as far as i know has set up a separate disciplinary unit just to deal with anti—semitism. no other party has put so many people through the process of being investigated. then the other part of the question about whether having peter willsman

the labour movement has always believed democracy should not stop when we clock on at the factory gatefor women's suffrage against ferocious opposition. 0ur movement fought for workers to have a voice at work. the trade unions founded this party to take that democratic vision even further. in 2018 i tell you at the heart of our programme is the greatest extension of economic democratic rights as country has ever seen. and its start in the workplace. it is undeniable now the balance of power at work has been tipped against the worker. the result is long hours, low productivity, low pay and insecurity of zero—hour contracts. i want to thank the ippr for the recent report on the brilliant critique on the inequality in britain and the economy. archbishop welby to —— took some stick in the media for his comments on the report but he was simply speaking the truth as a moral leader in our society. applause. just if you word of advice for the archbishop, archbishop, when they get round to calling you a marxist, i will give you some tips on how to handle, 0k? laughter. applause. i want you all

and with huge divisions in the labour movement over how to approach or oppose leaving the european union. and, injeremy corbyn, labour has a potential prime minister in waiting with policies the likes of which this country hasn't seen for a generation. away from westminster, the relentless row over anti—semitism has struck to the heart of what it means to be jewish and on the left in britain. so what's it like when your community is headline news and the subject of angry political debate? ella taylor, noah libson, aron keller and josh garfield are young, left—wing and jewish. i feel politically homeless. i don't know where i fit best. i know that the labour party isn't somewhere that i feel i can be proudlyjewish. the labour party has always reflected my politics and, even now, taking out the anti—semitism issue, it doesn't necessarily not reflect my politics. i wouldn't agree that this anti—semitism issue is of labour's making. they have reached out to jewish organisations that, in some cases, have been completely unwilling to compromise. i have got no plans of leaving because this may

emphasise, i think, and this whole week has emphasised, is how much the labour party and the labour movementt on the conference floor, you see it in what fires up activists, and you see it on the fringes. last night one labourmp it on the fringes. last night one labour mp called for a general strike if they couldn't get conservatives to call a general election. there was last a general strike nearly a century ago.” election. there was last a general strike nearly a century ago. i am sure theresa may is keeping a close eye on what is happening in liverpool with what is happening with the labour party this week, but she has also been in new york this week. she has been at the united nations in new york, inevitably domestic politics has followed her all the way across the atlantic. she was asked about events in liverpool, particularly those comments by keir starmer and his suggestion that labour should have a position where they would be willing to have another referendum on brexit with the option of remaining in the european union on the ballot. prime minister absolutely categorical that there

free movement of people effectively amounts to importing unemployed people from poor countries to supply cheap labourere a deal still to do or is there no deal? there will be, i think, a paper—thin deal that will please no one. can ijust add something, we talked about europe, but we should have been talking about british domestic politics because it is about the dup, we've not spoke about labour, labour is completely awol on the brexit debate. in western europe, the first few months of the second world war is often described as the phoney war — it was officially on, but there were few military clashes. donald trump's trade war with china feels much the same. his trade officials spent months preparing evidence of what he regards as chinese transgressions, there's been public consultation on how to punish them, and there've been exemptions. with the us economy apparently booming, american consumers may hardly notice tariffs imposed on chinese imports. but what about china? there are signs that its economy is slowing. from monday, at least 44 per cent of its exports to the us will be affected. isabel, y

while the prime minister is clear that free movement will end, i understand it, labour mobility will would argue this does not amount to special treatment for the eu, because the same thing could be offered to other countries. the real challenge for theresa may would be to get any deal at all through westminster. opposition parties are gearing up to vote against the prime minister. and they could bejoined by some of her own mps. so, whatever she does agree with brussels, it's not a done deal. and you can watch the full interview with theresa may on panorama, inside number 10: deal or no deal, tonight on bbc one at 8.30. the international monetary fund says that that if britain leaves the eu without a deal, it would inflict substantial costs on the uk economy. the imf‘s managing director, christine lagarde said that all brexit outcomes would entail costs — but a disorderly departure would lead to a reduction in the size of the british economy. our economics correspondent andy verity is here. well, tell us more about what she had to say? the prediction from the international monetary f
