:00:20. > :00:22.for his reading of the rules in the leadership contest.

:00:23. > :00:36.I'm delighted to say that the Labour Party National Executive Committee

:00:37. > :00:37.has decided that an incumbent is automatically

:00:38. > :00:41.So I'm on the ballot paper and I'll be campaigning on all

:00:42. > :00:46.There were scenes of chaos outside the meeting,

:00:47. > :00:49.as rival factions refused to give ground and accused each

:00:50. > :00:52.This isn't the kinder, gentler politics that we were promised,

:00:53. > :00:55.and I think Jeremy Corbyn has to condemn these acts.

:00:56. > :00:58.Angela Eagle was speaking after her constituency office

:00:59. > :01:04.We'll have the latest on the turmoil in the Labour Party.

:01:16. > :01:19.at Mr Cameron's final Cabinet meeting.

:01:20. > :01:22.There was a feeling across the Cabinet of great pride

:01:23. > :01:26.at what David Cameron has achieved over the last six years,

:01:27. > :01:28.sadness that it's ended in a way much quicker than people

:02:27. > :02:30.It's been another day of turmoil for the Labour Party,

:02:31. > :02:33.at the end of which Jeremy Corbyn won the right

:02:34. > :02:35.to have his name automatically included in the leadership

:02:36. > :02:40.contest, without having to be nominated by Labour MPs.

:02:41. > :02:43.The decision was made after several hours of tense debate

:02:44. > :02:46.among members of the party's ruling body, the National

:02:47. > :02:51.His challenger, Angela Eagle, said she was glad the NEC had come

:02:52. > :02:53.to a decision and she welcomed the contest ahead, as our political

:02:54. > :03:07.CHEERS He wins, again. Though most Labour MPs think he can never try

:03:08. > :03:11.you have. Jeremy Corbyn will not need their backing in the contest to

:03:12. > :03:16.try to keep his job. I'm delighted to say the Labour Party National

:03:17. > :03:21.Executive has decided that an incumbent is automatically on the

:03:22. > :03:22.ballot paper. So I'm on the ballot paperment

:03:23. > :03:26.CHEERS You have just said if people have a

:03:27. > :03:30.problem with your leadership, they should come and talk to you about

:03:31. > :03:37.it. The point is they have come and talked to you about it repeatedlily

:03:38. > :03:41.over recent months. How do you hope to persuade the vast majority of

:03:42. > :03:46.your MPs who don't think you are up to the job. How can you get them on

:03:47. > :03:50.board? I'm sure Labour MPs will understand partner has to come

:03:51. > :03:53.together in order to present to the British people the options of a

:03:54. > :04:03.different and better way of doing things. I have been elected last 10

:04:04. > :04:09.months ago, today, with a large mandate. I'm carrying it out. Look

:04:10. > :04:12.at their face, rapture, Jeremy Corbyn has touched parts of the

:04:13. > :04:16.electorate Labour hasn't reached for a long time. The membership is still

:04:17. > :04:20.growing and he believes in the race still ahead he will keep their faith

:04:21. > :04:23.but for months now Jeremy Corbyn and the Commons have been locked in

:04:24. > :04:27.conflict, the relationship falling to bits. The leader voted for

:04:28. > :04:31.himself tonight to stay on the ticket. Winning by 18-14 votes.

:04:32. > :04:35.After more than five-and-a-half hours of deliberation, in the last

:04:36. > :04:41.few minutes a decision. Jeremy Corbyn has again taken on the Labour

:04:42. > :04:45.Party establishment and won. He will automatically be on the ballot in

:04:46. > :04:49.Labour's leadership contest in the coming weeks. The race is already

:04:50. > :04:53.nasty, though, a brick was hurled through the Merseyside office of the

:04:54. > :04:57.MP who wants to replace Mr Jeremy Corbyn. Then Angela Eagle had to

:04:58. > :05:01.switch venues on a campaign tour because of threats. Protesters still

:05:02. > :05:05.tracked her down. The abuse has been condemned by Angela Eagle and Jeremy

:05:06. > :05:09.Corbyn but she's ready to take him on. I'm pleased the NEC has made a

:05:10. > :05:13.firm decision and that this leadership contest can go ahead. I'm

:05:14. > :05:18.looking forward to having a debate with Jeremy Corbyn about the things

:05:19. > :05:22.that really matter to our country and in the aftermath of the Brexit

:05:23. > :05:25.vote, where our communities have been really hard-hit, it is about

:05:26. > :05:29.uniting the Labour Party and making the case for a Labour Party that

:05:30. > :05:33.isn't just a protest party but is actually a party that aspires to get

:05:34. > :05:36.into Government and make a real difference. But it's been a huge

:05:37. > :05:39.struggle on both sides of this party. For that is what they are.

:05:40. > :05:43.Even to make their way through what's happened in this

:05:44. > :05:47.extraordinary ten months, even before this mornings 63 resignations

:05:48. > :05:51.from the Labour front bench. 172 MPs voting to show their lack of

:05:52. > :05:53.confidence. In the end, seven hours for the party to agree a way

:05:54. > :05:59.forward. Good afternoon. Lovely to see you

:06:00. > :06:03.all. And one man is fighting on. Can we have a bit of politeness? Can you

:06:04. > :06:06.make way? Thank you very much. With faith in his support and his

:06:07. > :06:11.direction, thousands and thousands of members behind him, but if Jeremy

:06:12. > :06:14.Corbyn wins again, one party, one Labour Party? Maybe not for good.

:06:15. > :06:20.Good luck Jeremy. The divisions within Labour

:06:21. > :06:22.were highlighted in Luton today, when Angela Eagle was confronted

:06:23. > :06:25.by protesters on her first leadership campaign

:06:26. > :06:28.visit outside London. And as we've heard,

:06:29. > :06:30.her constituency office in Wallasey was damaged overnight,

:06:31. > :06:32.when a brick was thrown The Merseyside Police

:06:33. > :06:36.and Crime Commissioner called it My colleague, Reeta Chakrabarti,

:06:37. > :06:40.spent the day talking to Labour A boarded-up window is a common

:06:41. > :06:45.enough sight, but the brick through Angela Eagle's office

:06:46. > :06:47.window is an act of political violence,

:06:48. > :06:49.say her They include the present Police

:06:50. > :06:55.and Crime Commissioner and It is an absolutely disgraceful

:06:56. > :07:03.situation, that you cannot take part in a democracy

:07:04. > :07:08.without having this kind of threats, the violence of it, the vile

:07:09. > :07:14.nature of the abuse. For local party members,

:07:15. > :07:17.this is a turbulent time. Along with the brick,

:07:18. > :07:22.there have been claims These members say those claims

:07:23. > :07:26.are wide of the mark. I don't recognise that picture

:07:27. > :07:28.of the Labour Party It's absolutely crazy to say

:07:29. > :07:38.Jeremy Corbyn is an out Both will have a say in the coming

:07:39. > :07:44.leadership contest and both backed Jeremy Corbyn over their

:07:45. > :07:47.own constituency MP, Angela Eagle. Where's the evidence, they asked,

:07:48. > :07:50.that he is unelectable? He's articulated

:07:51. > :07:53.policies that people haven't been talking

:07:54. > :07:55.about for many years, like public ownership

:07:56. > :07:58.of the railways and the energy industry, tackling tax

:07:59. > :08:00.avoidance, ending austerity. These are all massively

:08:01. > :08:04.popular policies. Nearly 400 people have joined

:08:05. > :08:06.the local Labour Party Signs of healthy

:08:07. > :08:12.participation, say some. Infiltration by extremists,

:08:13. > :08:15.say others. Both these party members think

:08:16. > :08:19.Mr Corbyn should go. Jeremy's position as leader

:08:20. > :08:21.of the party is I think Angela offers

:08:22. > :08:28.a better alternative. She offers a positive view

:08:29. > :08:31.for what Labour could be, and a positive vision

:08:32. > :08:35.for what Britain can be. A brick through her office window

:08:38. > :08:41.own constituency is It reflects the atmosphere in Labour

:08:42. > :08:45.right across the country, with deep tensions caused

:08:46. > :08:48.by conflicting views as to what the Labour's leader, whoever

:09:05. > :09:06.final Cabinet meeting on his last full day

:09:07. > :09:08.as Prime Minister. His successor, Theresa May,

:09:09. > :09:10.who'll take over tomorrow, led the tributes around the Cabinet

:09:11. > :09:13.table at 10 Downing Street. One minister said there was great

:09:14. > :09:17.pride at what Mr Cameron had achieved over the past six years,

:09:18. > :09:20.mixed with sadness that his premiership had ended far

:09:21. > :09:23.sooner than expected. Mr Cameron reportedly said

:09:24. > :09:26.he was proud of his time in office. He'll appear at Prime

:09:46. > :09:46.by the removal men, always,

:09:47. > :09:50.somehow, too soon. For a moment, David Cameron

:09:51. > :09:53.was glimpsed at a window, a practical politician who'd

:09:54. > :09:59.gambled from the start on the coalition, on Scotland, and

:10:00. > :10:01.then on Europe. So nearly a winner,

:10:43. > :10:45.behind, like all the rest. He fell out with David Cameron,

:11:02. > :11:08.tributes to a great Prime Minister, led by Theresa May,

:11:09. > :11:11.who will be Prime Minister, and by I think there was a feeling

:11:12. > :11:15.across the Cabinet of great pride at what David Cameron has

:11:16. > :11:18.achieved over the last six years. Tomorrow, Theresa May

:11:19. > :11:20.appoints her own Cabinet. George Osborne upset EU leavers

:11:49. > :11:49.but Prime Ministers can't

:11:50. > :11:52.please everyone. Any Prime Minister, where they make

:11:53. > :11:55.a cabinet, put noses out We are in politics because we want

:11:56. > :12:08.to serve and actually, you'd like to serve at the highest level,

:12:09. > :12:11.and anybody who tells you that At the end of the day,

:12:12. > :12:15.there will be people upset. Tomorrow, David Cameron will take

:12:16. > :12:17.his last Question Time in the There will be tributes

:12:18. > :12:21.and they will be sincere. He won two elections and two

:12:22. > :12:23.referendums before the defeat in the European vote

:12:24. > :12:25.carried away all he'd gained One Nation, compassionate

:12:26. > :12:28.Conservative government. That is the task Theresa

:12:29. > :12:30.May has pledged to carry on with her new team and

:12:31. > :12:33.without seeking a new mandate in an But for David Cameron,

:12:34. > :12:37.as the removal van loads up and leaves, that's

:12:38. > :12:38.someone else's problem. Which may be some

:12:39. > :12:40.consolation but not much. John Pienaar, BBC News,

:12:41. > :12:55.Westminster. There have been many

:12:56. > :12:56.tributes from colleagues keen to underline what they see

:12:57. > :12:59.as his achievements - despite his failure to secure

:13:00. > :13:01.a Remain vote in the referendum. Mr Cameron had billed himself

:13:02. > :13:04.as a "one-nation Conservative" who, at one stage, urged his party

:13:05. > :13:07.to stop "banging on" about Europe. His colleagues point

:13:08. > :13:08.to record employment figures and reforms,

:13:09. > :13:10.such as legalising gay marriage,

:13:11. > :13:12.as some of his notable successes. Our home editor, Mark Easton,

:13:13. > :13:17.has been looking back On his last full day as Prime

:13:18. > :13:23.Minister, it was telling that David Cameron chose to be filmed at the

:13:24. > :13:28.Reach Academy in Feltham, West London, he may be an old Etonian but

:13:29. > :13:32.wants to be remembered as a leader who worked to improve the lot of

:13:33. > :13:38.everyone, whatever their background, a One Nation Conservative. It was

:13:39. > :13:42.his desire, maybe through guilt as an Etonian, or whatever, to spread

:13:43. > :13:46.opportunity, to give all people, regardless of race and social class

:13:47. > :13:51.and regions, equal and fair opportunities. He came to power the

:13:52. > :13:57.youngest Prime Minister for almost 200 years, fresh-faced and fizzing

:13:58. > :14:00.with ideas. The "big society" encouraged actedive citizenship,

:14:01. > :14:05.volunteering. He created the national citizens service. This is

:14:06. > :14:09.the "big society" made real. Cameron wanted to promote civic engagement

:14:10. > :14:14.and clamp-down on state dependency. But to some he was using charity to

:14:15. > :14:18.cover for austerity. Small government was just code for cuts. I

:14:19. > :14:27.don't believe that the "big society" just springs up of its own accord.

:14:28. > :14:30.What you need to do is try to help galvanisep communities. Where people

:14:31. > :14:33.want to get things done, let's help them. David Cameron claimed his Tory

:14:34. > :14:37.Party was best-placed to tackle poverty. It may have raised the

:14:38. > :14:41.hackles of those on the Tory right but he was happy to be seen as a

:14:42. > :14:45.Prime Minister who would hug-a-hoodie. Adult society's

:14:46. > :14:48.response to the hoodie, shows how far we are from finding the

:14:49. > :14:54.long-term answers to putting things right. He believed in the redemptive

:14:55. > :14:57.power of work, introducing welfare reforms that used financial

:14:58. > :15:02.incentives and a stick of sanctions to help push employment to record

:15:03. > :15:05.levels. His critics accuse David Cameron of having waged an

:15:06. > :15:10.ideological war against the poor. His cuts to benefits and services

:15:11. > :15:14.creating a land of food banks, rising homeless nces and profound

:15:15. > :15:19.inequality. He may have tried, some will say, but it wasn't good enough.

:15:20. > :15:24.David Cameron knew poverty was real in the UK. He knew it caused real

:15:25. > :15:27.harm. I think he was really committed to doing something about

:15:28. > :15:31.it and said a lot about it, but the figures don't stack up. There are 13

:15:32. > :15:36.million people living in poverty in the UK today, still. He hasn't met

:15:37. > :15:40.his targets. David Cameron once said he wanted to know how to put not

:15:41. > :15:45.just money in people's pockets but joy in their hearts. He started

:15:46. > :15:49.official measurement of well being, and is proudest perhaps of having

:15:50. > :15:53.brought in gay marriage. APPLAUSE

:15:54. > :15:58.He thought he understood Britain and that by empowering people to take

:15:59. > :16:04.control of their destiny, he would create a better country. But while

:16:05. > :16:08.eating beans and potato in the canteen at school today, he may have

:16:09. > :16:09.reflect today was his misjudgment of the national mood that led to his

:16:10. > :16:11.down fall. Our political editor

:16:12. > :16:17.Laura Kuenssberg is at Westminster. Two things to talk about, the

:16:18. > :16:20.Cameron legacy, I will come to that in a moment. I want to ask you about

:16:21. > :16:23.what's happened to the Labour Party tonight and this leadership question

:16:24. > :16:28.back in the hands of the members again. It is. Jeremy Corbyn is

:16:29. > :16:32.either made of Teflon, or he's the most stubborn man in politics or the

:16:33. > :16:36.most determined man in politics, determined to stick to the mandate

:16:37. > :16:38.that he believes he has from thousands and thousands and

:16:39. > :16:44.thousands of party members who put their trust in him. Labour MPs

:16:45. > :16:47.started off complaining privately, then publicly, then resigning from

:16:48. > :16:51.frontbench positions in huge number and then today, they threw the

:16:52. > :16:55.party's rule book at him and still that failed and he fought all of

:16:56. > :17:03.those challenges off. There may yet be another move in the courts to try

:17:04. > :17:08.to challenge tonight's decision, believe it or not. We are into a

:17:09. > :17:12.phase where this goes back to the members to make up their minds with

:17:13. > :17:16.Angela eagle, the leadership candidate so far, there may be more,

:17:17. > :17:19.set to challenge him. This time it will be a different race among the

:17:20. > :17:24.members. A couple of significant rule changes were also agreed at the

:17:25. > :17:28.executive committee decision-making process tonight. Unless people have

:17:29. > :17:32.been a member of the Labour Party since before January, they will not

:17:33. > :17:35.be allowed to vote in this. There's a six-month cut off. Anybody who

:17:36. > :17:40.joined the party in the last six months will not have a say. Remember

:17:41. > :17:43.those ?3 registered supporters who signed up in their droves, many of

:17:44. > :17:48.them to back Jeremy Corbyn, this time round, they'd have to pay ?25

:17:49. > :17:54.for the same privilege and there is a time cut Ofili on that period too.

:17:55. > :17:58.-- cut-off on that period too. We are looking at a different

:17:59. > :18:02.leadership race. Part of the dynamic will be the same in Westminster for

:18:03. > :18:06.the last ten months. He does not have the backing of most MPs in

:18:07. > :18:10.Westminster, but he believes that he can rely on and excite the support

:18:11. > :18:14.of thousands of members around the country. And here we are, on the eve

:18:15. > :18:19.of David Cameron's departure from Downing Street, and a very real

:18:20. > :18:22.sense that he's trying to, I suppose, define his legacy on his

:18:23. > :18:26.own terms. Indeed. But I think whether he likes it or not, and I

:18:27. > :18:31.suspect that he does not like it, the events of the last three weeks,

:18:32. > :18:35.that monumental decision that the country took to choose to leave the

:18:36. > :18:40.European Union will be his biggest legacy. It was his biggest gamble

:18:41. > :18:46.for a politician who liked to make big gestures. It was his biggest

:18:47. > :18:49.failure. It will shape and colour his legacy, in part, because it

:18:50. > :18:53.doesn't just influence what happens over the road. It doesn't just

:18:54. > :18:57.influence what happens in the other seats of power around the UK,
