we heard len mccluskey said earlier, if there is another referendum, the one thing that should not bes the option of staying in the eu. the great? i think it is really clear that the primejob great? i think it is really clear that the prime job of any prime minister at this time is to bring the country together and clearly the country is so divided, it has been more polarised over the last two yea rs more polarised over the last two years as a complete failing by the prime minister, and jeremy corbyn‘s first duty will be to put those policies in place to bring the country together so we can be united in that relationship with europe. thanks very much. how much will mr corbyn‘s message go down with those labour party members gathering elsewhere in liverpool in their thousands for restriction organised by tight people'svote? let's find out. that's right, thousands have turned out here during a speech from the leader of the gmb union, and a significant intervention by them, of course, saying they would now back the idea of another referendum. the question is, will be pressure that is bei

you heard from len mccluskey their committee was also at a fringe meeting later on and he was talkinge of reselection or deselection of mps. this is the idea that if the local labour party doesn't like what their mp has been saying, they don't automatically get to stand again at the general election, they can get rid of them. so there has been a move to try to get there were that make it easier for local parties to get rid of their mp if they don't like what they've been saying was that there is no total agreement over that but len mccluskey had something interesting to say on that subject, too. i believe there are certain mps within our party who are almost asking to be deselected all stop they really don't want... applause they really don't want to be part of this exciting transformation that is taking place. all my life i've sort of government that would bring about the irreversible shift in the balance of power in favour of working people. we now have an opportunity. please go back, talk to the number of constituency delegates here, talk to your friends. this isn't about the const

this is what len mccluskey had to say about that.skey had to say about that.” believe there are certain mps within out believe there are certain mps within our party who are almost asking to be deselected. they really don't want... applause they really don't want to be part of this exciting transformation that is taking place. all my life i've thought a government that would bring about the reversible shifting the balance of power in favour working people. we now have an opportunity. please go back, talk to the numberof opportunity. please go back, talk to the number of constituency delegates here, this isn't about the constituencies against the unions, i promise you it isn't. we want to make certain that those mps who need to be called to account will be called to account. there has been a lot of tension between many labour mps and jeremy corbyn. some of his mps and jeremy corbyn. some of his mps don't like the direction he's taken the party and they fear there will be some kind of purge, people trying to get rid of them. there has

you mentioned len mccluskey, he sent out a direct message to you at the conference this morning.ght here in the labour party. stop plotting and make jeremy corbyn the people's prime minister. how do you respond to that? i have never been to a country clu b that? i have never been to a country club and! that? i have never been to a country club and i will see it again as i have done before, i stand by what i said on bullying and racism in the labour party, not least because my own family have been victims of racism, and if len mccluskey does not like that, so be it. my talents back to him would be, i think, actually, what most labour party members and most of his members of his union would like to see him doing is not necessarily targeting myself but actually arguing for there to be a peoples ford and brexit. part of the reason that there has been so much frustration as to what has happened over the summer months is that if we had actually dealt with these issues of anti—semitism properly, we could have actually concentrated on the biggest issue facing this country any generations

jeremy corbyn asjeremy corbyn comes under pressure to back another referendum, the leader of unite, len mccluskeyng in the eu. could the brexit talks lead to a snap election this autumn? reports that plans are being drawn up. meanwhile the brexit secretary says he won't let the eu dictate negotiations. this is a bump in the road.

len mccluskey has said in the last hour or so that if there is another vote, staying in the eu should ballot paper. that is an argument which reflect the opinions of a lot of people in the opinions of a lot of people in the country who voted in the referendum, and i'm sure he will make that case in any debate in conference this week. it is one of the things that should be part of the things that should be part of the debate. thank you very much for the debate. thank you very much for the time, richard burgon. it will be a fascinating debate and vote when we get that motion on a possible second referendum. the key will be a language that motion, will it actually commits to another referendum, or will it be slightly more loosely worded so as not to tie the hands of the leadership? yes, fascinating manoeuvrings in liverpool, for now, norman, thank you very much indeed. let's talk to the former president of yougov, peter kellner, who joins me in the studio. let's look at that question of the pressure on labour's leadership to have another referendum. your own former organisation has carri

this was her message to len mccluskey. to know what i find really sad by this?s doing really brilliant work on ted's and under which working in restaurants are being ripped off by the imports. and i wear hearing about len... there are ways that parties can't get rid of their mp. i've had members e—mail me about it for the last two years. every person here at this conference has a choice to make. are you here to make change, are you getting akis? and ijust say to len, "your members are doing great work on these attempts. why don't we start talking about that and how we can make that legislation was quote. the message is that the party labour should not be caught up too much in the process. there are certainly some strong expressions from labour party members who say they are angry with their mps, that they are angry with their mps, that they don't think they should have they don't think they should have the right to just stay in the job for life and that they should go through this resorption process. certainly some angry words there. some divisions on the first

but major figures like len mccluskey head of the unite union say that if there were to be another referendum including the option to stay in the u. then that would be seen as undemocratic and that would be very dangerous for labor in his opinion and also unleash dangerous forces on the rights of politics but the opposition labor party led by jeremy corbyn i mean be put on a line in the sand they've got these six tests that they're now talking about and it misses me comes back from her next to the rest of europe and she doesn't pass the six test they'll push for a general election does the country feel the need for a general election point number one and also i guess point number two there's not enough time for this surely breaks it's the clock is ticking it's less than six months away in theory. absolutely i mean the lady leadership leadership will tell you there is time for for a snap election they're ready they have been mobilizing over the last two years with notably the momentum organization of grassroots activists who are very present here in liverpool they are the government in waiting

seen in some way not respecting the result of the referendum, and that's why we ended up with len mccluskeytoday that remain should not be an option if that vote would happen. i'm joined should not be an option if that vote would happen. i'mjoined by mp should not be an option if that vote would happen. i'm joined by mp chris leslie, you've just been would happen. i'm joined by mp chris leslie, you'vejust been part would happen. i'm joined by mp chris leslie, you've just been part of the so—called people'svote, mccluskey has a point, doesn't he? if you say that you respect the brexit result and honour that referendum, if there isa and honour that referendum, if there is a second vote, it should be how we leave, not whether? chat the problem is that the promise that we re problem is that the promise that were made by people who are saying that leigh wood unlock hundreds of millions of pounds for the nhs, all those things, have now been com pletely those things, have now been completely different. —— that leave would unlock millions of pounds. negotiations are at an impasse, i think the most

len mccluskey, the union leader and shadow chancellorjohn mcdonnell suggesting respecting the referendum has been knocked back and now we are back with all options open. of course, the main thing labour say is they want a general election but the trouble is they cannot make that happen. as the labour party are debating whether to vote on votes on votes, the government still releasing plans for what might happen if there is no deal, the latest on uk and eu aviation standards. it looks pretty chaotic on day one if there is no deal, what would happen? the problem here is all those agreements in place, whereby pilots licenses are recognised here and in the eu, coach and bus travel, everything is all sorted, none of that would be. the uk and eu say they would put emergency measures in place but at this point the uk is saying we would recognise all of those things from your side but that is no guarantee the eu would reciprocate. these papers are the government trying to show they are preparing for no deal but the trouble is many people seeing this would think this does not look organised at al

we heard from len mccluskey yesterday saying, if we don't get a general election and if, if there ism, do not think on the ballot paper, there should be the option of remaining in the eu. precisely what many of those in the labour party pressing for a referendum once. and then this morning, in his round of early—morning interviews, john mcdonnell reiterated that. he said, if hypothetically there is another referendum, it should not include the option of staying in the eu. so what is becoming clear is the labour party, if it was to hold a referendum underjeremy corbyn‘s leadership, would only put the same options on the table as theresa may is putting on the table. it would be a vote on the deal as negotiated by labour. 0r no deal. albeit this morning, labour was stressing their preferred option is for a general election. have a listen tojohn mcdonnell. what we want now is a general election. let's have a proper debate at a general election, then people can choose what team goes forward to negotiate in the future. if we can't get that, yes, we will campaign for a people's vote, where

because if you are respecting the terms of the original referendum, surely it should be, as len mccluskeyof what i said before, you should never bring a deal back to people than is worse than the status quo, that would not be an option people would vote for. you think remain should be an option, what about all those millions who voted for brexit, including lots of labour voters ? for brexit, including lots of labour voters? i think it depends on the circumstances. ideally we want the government to fall, we want an immediate general election. if that doesn't happen, then we need to go for a public vote, and i think other thana for a public vote, and i think other than a toxic tory brexit, then an option to continue with the current arrangement, remain, is the only other real option. having been involved in the composition of the text of this motion, i am really pleased this motion lays out a pathway for a labour government, which darts with voting against theresa may‘s deal in parliament, then moves to an immediate general election, and leaves the public vote on the table, and that is a pa

expressed by john members, i suspect it is the fear we heard expressed byjohn mcdonnell yesterday and len mccluskeye voted for brexit and yet somehow the labour party is finding itself in a position of backing another referendum. it will be seen by those brexit backing labour supporters as a betrayal. there are clear risks about going down this route but it seems the direction of travel for the labour party. donald trump's nomination to be a us supreme courtjudge has appeared on tv, insisting he is innocent of the claims of sexual misconduct dating back to when he was a student. brett kavanaugh has been accused by two women, and is due to appear before the senate judiciary committee later this week. but, speaking on fox news, he maintained he would not be withdrawing from the process. barbara plett—usher reports. president trump is attending the united nations super bowl of diplomacy, but his mind is on the political battles in washington. the drama over his nominee for the supreme court took an unexpected turn last night. tonight, supreme court nominee brett kavanaugh breaks his silence for the fi

len mccluskey from the unite union, he thinks that if there was to be a second vote it should be on theme secretary keir starmer said. in his view the chequers deal would not get past him and other labour mps because it doesn‘t pass the six tests labour are setting for a brexit deal regarding the economic consequences for the uk. but theresa may sticking to what she has always said, no brexit deal is better than a bad deal. an inquest into the death of a girl who died after eating a pret a manger baguette — has heard that another nine pret customers suffered allergic reactions to similar products in the year before. 15—year—old natasha ednan—laperooze, who had a severe sesame allergy, collapsed during a flight from heathrow to nice and died within hours. we can now talk to our correspondent, angus crawford, who has been in court. what have you heard? in the 12 months before her death, there had been 21 serious adversary actions as they call it, nine of those involved sesame and six of those the exact ba g u ette sesame and six of those the exact baguette type that she had eaten. of thos

, jeremy corbyn, len mcdonnell ——john some, jeremy corbyn, len mcdonnell —— john mcdonnell and len mccluskeyith. today he laid out he could support something she could do. there was speculation philip hammond the chancellor might want to delay the budget and moved to the autumn from the spring. he has announced it is going to be on october the 29th. he has treated about it from the treasury, october the 29th. interesting timing because it is between two crucial eu summits. one in the middle of october and talk of an emergency summit in november if there has been enough progress, where they might wrap up some negotiation and get a deal. he has decided to hold a budget in the middle of those two. it will be a tricky one as ever for him, notjust dealing with brexit and all of that. we know how he feels about the problems, the bumpy nature of the exit he thinks there may be. also demands for more public spending, partly coming from labour and the kind of programme they are putting forward today but also his own backbenchers, mainly for the nhs and social care. vicky young, thank you for that bre
