the labour leader, jeremy corbyn, has delivered a rallying call to his party after last week's defeat in the copeland by—election. speaking of the scottishrty conference in perth, he said that now is not the time to retreat, run away or give up. mr corbyn‘s supporters say the constant questions about his leadership are hurting the party. earlier i spoke to our political correspondent tom barton and i started by asking him whether the speech will be enough to unite the party. the loss in copeland was difficult for the labour party. this was a seat in an area that the party has had an mp for eight decades, more than that. and a seat in which in normal circumstances, they would have expected to extend their majority halfway through a spell in parliament where they are the opposition. so to lose that seat and lose it to the conservatives is a big loss. and so, yes, jeremy corbyn‘s task today was to rally the troops on the one hand, to put forward that argument for unity and he did it pretty passionately. the resulting copeland was deeply disappointing and, of course, i take my share of responsibility for it. we haven't done enough yet to reb

the scottish six o'clock eight news is something which has been suggested for many yea rs. which has been suggested for many years. many labour partyrs. it has been maybe wrongly tagged as being something which has only been to forum by the scottish national party. it was meant to reflect the fact that much of scottish public life, the health service and education are many other parts of public life are no separate from how the are approached in england. it was more to get that sort of balance. that is not something that the bbc have not wa nted something that the bbc have not wanted to go with. but there is a belief that the needs to be an improvement across the united kingdom. but the nine 0'clock news isa kingdom. but the nine 0'clock news is a big opportunity which is welcome. there will be an hour-long programme combining scottish, british and international news. what else would you like to see on the channel? one of the challenges which is not clear yet, and we know that the devil will be in the detail, we have a situation where new journalist jobs have have a situation where new journalistjobs have been announced, but the di

scottish independence question so she is talking about a federal model where all the nations of the uk get more powers over their own affairs and she has brought many figures from across the labour partyder is speaking at the moment. this afternoon, she will be introduced by saddique khan, the london mayor. he is talking about a wide variety of nationalism is this afternoon, but a line that he has circulated already is one where he says that there is no difference between trying to divide between and dividing on the basis of background, race 01’ dividing on the basis of background, race or religion. now, as you say, that has attracted a very strong response from the snp and other independence falters. the first minister, nicola sturgeon, this morning tweeting that that is an insult to all of those got who support independence. 0ur arguments —— her argument is that an independent scotland would be inclusive and would not discriminate against people from elsewhere in the uk or indeed the wider world, so there is quite a storm brewing over whether or not saddique khan is actually equating scottish nationalism with some of the racism that he is also criticising or whether some of these wo

scottish nationalists are voting against them. we reckon there will be a couple of dozen labour rebels who will vote against this bill, against the 3— line whip of their partyyears. we will get that result in a minute or two. the government has a big majority in the house of commons but not in the house of lords. i think the house of lords have to be careful. they know that because they are an unelected second chamber, and if they try to thwart the elected chamber it could mean the end of the house of lords altogether. they may not like it, a lot of the lords. but i think theresa may is pretty confident. it looks calm and civilised, and am wondering how much tension and emotion there is below the surface, given how divisive this vote was back injune. or is that all being reconciled and damp and down? no, there's been a lot of passion on both sides of the debate. dozens and dozens of mps have been able to speak. there's been some wonderful speeches. a great example of the british parliament at its best. kenneth clarke, great pro—european, he will vote against this motion tonight. against triggering article 50. he says that leaving the european union to make
