:00:15. > :00:19.FLASHING IMAGES. Good evening. The red flag has been

:00:19. > :00:22.sung. The conference is over, and the comrades have departed. What

:00:22. > :00:27.difference has the past week made to the fortunes of the Labour

:00:27. > :00:29.Party? The conference finished in its traditional fashion with a

:00:29. > :00:34.coalition-bashing speech by the party's Deputy Leader Harriet

:00:34. > :00:37.Harman and one or two bad jokes. Elsewhere, the Shadow Education

:00:37. > :00:45.Secretary, Stephen Twigg, discusses Labour's plans for, yes, that

:00:45. > :00:49.phrase again - a One Nation Labour's conference is the longest

:00:49. > :00:53.of all the three largest parties, and for those delegates who hang on

:00:53. > :00:57.to the bitter end there is always the treat of a rabble-rousing

:00:57. > :01:00.speech from the deputy party leader. It always used to be John Prescott

:01:00. > :01:07.but today that mantle has passed to the current incumbent, Harriet

:01:07. > :01:12.Harman. Hi, conference. I am Hatty, 62, from Camberwell, and here is

:01:12. > :01:22.today's news in brief - it has been a great week for the Labour Party,

:01:22. > :01:27.and a great week for Ed Miliband! APPLAUSE

:01:27. > :01:31.Now, I I've known Ed for more than 20 years - in fact, it was me who

:01:31. > :01:35.gave him his first job in politics, and, you know, when Ed worked for

:01:35. > :01:39.me, people always used to say to me, "You know, I don't know how you do

:01:39. > :01:45.it, Harriot. You're so busy with your work in Parliament. You've got

:01:45. > :01:49.three kids keeping you up all night, and yet you still make such

:01:49. > :01:55.beautiful speeches, but my secret weapon then was - I have to confess

:01:55. > :02:02.- Ed Miliband. And Ed, with your - with your speech this week, you

:02:02. > :02:06.showed everyone the qualities you have always had, your conviction,

:02:06. > :02:12.your confidence, your compassion and your courage, and when you told

:02:12. > :02:17.us the story about your family, you showed everyone why you have such

:02:17. > :02:24.faith in this country and such faith in the power of politics as a

:02:24. > :02:29.force for good. Ed, we all know you love baseball. You're a great Red

:02:29. > :02:35.Sox fan, so can I just say to you, you knock the ball right out of the

:02:35. > :02:41.park. APPLAUSE

:02:41. > :02:45.Conference, since we met last year, I've taken up my new role as shadow

:02:45. > :02:50.Culture Secretary, and I was lucky enough to go to the Brits. I had a

:02:50. > :02:56.great time - the wine was flowing. The music was loud, but I did that

:02:56. > :03:00.thing that politicians should never, ever do - I hit the dancefloor, and

:03:00. > :03:04.I suppose you're thinking, why is it that our deputy leaders always

:03:04. > :03:09.have to make such total prats of themselves at the Brits? And the

:03:09. > :03:17.next - you know, the next morning I really was mortified, and as I

:03:17. > :03:21.feared, someone Tweeted about it, "Labour MP in dodgy dancing cringe-

:03:21. > :03:23.fest." But the good news is it then said, "Honestly, you would think

:03:23. > :03:28.that Tessa Jowell would know better!"

:03:28. > :03:32.LAUGHTER And you know, you know something -

:03:32. > :03:37.people are always stopping me in the street and saying, "Thank you

:03:37. > :03:42.so much, Tessa, for bringing the Olympics to Britain." And I say,

:03:42. > :03:45."You're welcome!" And we all want to say a huge thank you to Tessa

:03:45. > :03:55.for all of her years on Labour's frontbench as well as the brilliant

:03:55. > :03:57.

:03:57. > :04:02.job she did on the Olympics. And in my new role as Shadow

:04:02. > :04:05.Culture Secretary, you know, you always get asked when you're Shadow

:04:05. > :04:10.Culture Secretary what are you reading? Just the other week I had

:04:10. > :04:17.an awkward moment when a journalist asked me if I'd read "that" book.

:04:17. > :04:22.OK. Women here will know the one - the one about a sadomasochistic

:04:22. > :04:28.relationship with a dominant superior controlling a naive

:04:28. > :04:38.submissive, and I said, "Don't be silly. Of course I've read the

:04:38. > :04:40.

:04:40. > :04:45.coalition agreement." Now, now, as it happens, I have

:04:45. > :04:48.actually read 50 Shades of Grey for research purposes, you have to

:04:48. > :04:53.understand, but I have to say, I don't think it's very realistic,

:04:53. > :04:58.because, let's be honest - what most women want is not a man who

:04:58. > :05:07.ties you to the bed, but one who unstacks the dishwasher while you

:05:07. > :05:14.watch the Great British Bake-Off. Am I right? I'm right.

:05:14. > :05:19.So each and every conference has its own defining points. This is

:05:19. > :05:22.the conference here in Manchester 2012 where Ed fired the starting

:05:22. > :05:30.gun for the next general election, and -

:05:30. > :05:35.APPLAUSE And because of what Ed's done since

:05:35. > :05:40.he became leader, we are now in with a fighting chance of forming

:05:40. > :05:44.the next Government. APPLAUSE

:05:44. > :05:48.But - but we all know we still have a long way to go. We've got to

:05:48. > :05:55.fight the Tories. We've got to fight the Lib Dems. We've got to

:05:55. > :05:59.work as a team, and we've got to have no no-go areas for Labour.

:05:59. > :06:05.Because people all over this country are suffering with this

:06:05. > :06:10.Government. So many young people are finding it impossible to get

:06:10. > :06:16.their first job, and women are finding it hard to hang on to their

:06:16. > :06:19.jobs, and that's just the women in David Cameron's Cabinet. You know,

:06:19. > :06:26.Angry Birds used to be David Cameron's favourite computer game.

:06:26. > :06:32.Now it's his pet name for Caroline Spelman and Nadine Doris, but - but

:06:32. > :06:35.there is one woman who can always rely on David Cameron's unswerving,

:06:35. > :06:40.unconditional support - Rebekah Brooks.

:06:40. > :06:45.APPLAUSE And - and when it comes to the next

:06:45. > :06:50.election, I suspect women in this country will have seen enough and

:06:50. > :06:56.won't be giving David Cameron one of those famous second chances he's

:06:56. > :07:03.so fond of. And conference, what about the Lib Dems? They claim to

:07:03. > :07:06.be a break on the Tories, but they are nothing of the sort. They are

:07:06. > :07:11.their accomplices. They boast of the pupil premium - all well and

:07:11. > :07:18.good - but then they vote with the Tories for the biggest education

:07:18. > :07:23.cuts since the 1950s. They boast of taking people out of tax by raising

:07:23. > :07:29.the tax threshold - all well and good - but then they vote with the

:07:29. > :07:32.Tories to slash those very people's tax credits. They boast of a

:07:32. > :07:38.clampdown on tax avoidance - again, all well and good - but then they

:07:38. > :07:42.vote with the Tories for a tax cut for millionaires. Conference,

:07:42. > :07:52.people say you get did politicians you deserve, but no-one deserves

:07:52. > :07:53.

:07:53. > :07:59.Nick Clegg. APPLAUSE

:07:59. > :08:03.Let's will here about this - Calamity Clegg has propped up this

:08:03. > :08:10.miserable Tory Government every step of the way. It's no wonder

:08:10. > :08:15.Vince Cable is on manoeuvres. But let's not forget St Vince is in it

:08:15. > :08:20.up to his neck too. After all, it was his policy to treble tuition

:08:20. > :08:30.fees, so I have a message for Vince: don't bother texting Ed.

:08:30. > :08:31.

:08:31. > :08:37.He's changed his number. APPLAUSE

:08:37. > :08:42.We - we have a first-past-the-post system, and voters get just one

:08:42. > :08:47.vote, and we're saying to them, vote Labour. We're not fighting to

:08:47. > :08:57.be part of a coalition Government. We're fighting to win.

:08:57. > :08:59.

:08:59. > :09:06.It's always great to be at conference, but this week has been

:09:06. > :09:11.exceptional. This week, the game has changed. We know we have big

:09:11. > :09:16.challenges ahead, but we leave Manchester emboldened, enthused and

:09:16. > :09:23.with a strong sense of purpose. We have grown in confidence. We've

:09:23. > :09:29.grown in self-belief. This country needs a Government of and for all

:09:29. > :09:32.its people, not a coalition that plays divide and rule. This country

:09:32. > :09:42.needs a One Nation Labour Party and a One Nation Labour Government.

:09:42. > :09:50.

:09:50. > :09:54.Harriet Harman speaking earlier. Well, the big issue for debate

:09:54. > :09:57.today at conference was education, and we'll hear later from the

:09:57. > :10:02.Shadow Education Secretary Stephen Twigg, but first, what do party

:10:02. > :10:07.members think of Michael Gove's plans for free schools?

:10:07. > :10:11.Right now there are about 70 free schools open with plans for a

:10:11. > :10:14.hundred more next year, but what would Labour do with Michael Gove's

:10:14. > :10:18.pet project? Would they keep them or close them down? We wouldn't

:10:18. > :10:20.have introduced free schools in this way, but there is something

:10:20. > :10:27.being established in my constituency, and the last thing

:10:27. > :10:34.you should do is play roulette -- Russian roulette with children's

:10:34. > :10:37.education. So what's wrong with them? What's wrong with them? Non-

:10:37. > :10:41.qualified teachers, employment terms and conditions that aren't up

:10:41. > :10:46.to scratch, a curriculum that's all over the place in some cases, a

:10:46. > :10:49.little bit like academies. Michael Gove's free schools - keep them or

:10:49. > :10:52.close them? Don't mention the word Michael Gove to me. I am absolutely

:10:52. > :10:55.horrified of what he's doing. don't have to worry about a schools

:10:55. > :10:59.policy for another couple of years. What do you think about Michael

:10:59. > :11:06.Gove? I think Michael Gove ought to be in the circus. Doing what?

:11:06. > :11:10.Selling programmes. We're going to inherit a school

:11:10. > :11:14.system that'll include free schools. I am not going to tell parents good

:11:14. > :11:18.schools are going to close down, are we? They're already going to be

:11:18. > :11:22.there. Let's make them work for parents. I would say keep the free

:11:22. > :11:25.schools. I tried to set a free school up, but it was so political,

:11:25. > :11:30.it took a lot of effort because we were only a small community group.

:11:30. > :11:37.We had a building. We had a head. We had deprived children. We had

:11:38. > :11:45.need, but it was turned down. Wicked, wicked, immoral,

:11:45. > :11:51.duplicitous things. Can't make my mind up on that. Thank you very

:11:51. > :11:55.much. Looks like loads of you are party colleagues. Do you want to

:11:55. > :11:59.shut them down? Look at the difference. Yeah, I think the test

:11:59. > :12:03.is what's happening on the ground. And we have said that we think free

:12:03. > :12:07.schools are divisive. They're not what we would do if we were in

:12:07. > :12:10.Government, but in two-and-a-half years' time, if they're out there

:12:10. > :12:13.and providing great education and great results for people, that's

:12:14. > :12:20.what parents want, and that's what children deserve.

:12:20. > :12:25.Grab a ball, and you vote over here in the mid box, which is almost as

:12:25. > :12:28.legendary as you are. Shut them down - why is that? Oh, I think all

:12:28. > :12:31.schools should be local authority schools. They're all free schools

:12:31. > :12:35.anyway. After all, you go to a local authority school, you don't

:12:35. > :12:45.pay. Do Labour keep them or close them? Oh, I don't know. That's

:12:45. > :12:53.

:12:53. > :12:57.unlike you to not have a firm Well, I've heard some views that

:12:57. > :13:01.are strongly held, to put it mildly. Look at that - a massive majority

:13:01. > :13:07.of delegates want free schools to be closed down. The problem for

:13:07. > :13:13.Labour is, that's not their party policy. So not surprisingly, Labour

:13:13. > :13:18.Party members are against free schools, but does the Shadow

:13:18. > :13:21.Education Secretary, Steve Stephen Twigg share their concerns? Earlier

:13:21. > :13:25.he addressed conference. central challenge is how do we get

:13:25. > :13:29.our economy growing and creating jobs again? We're not the biggest

:13:29. > :13:35.nation, and so for a country like ours, it is smart to be smart.

:13:35. > :13:39.Education is a moral right, but it's also an economic good. The

:13:40. > :13:45.Tories tell us that they want high standards in education, but it's

:13:45. > :13:51.them that have put standards at risk. The biggest education cuts

:13:52. > :13:56.since the 1950s - teacher numbers falling and young people held back,

:13:56. > :14:02.like the thousands - thousands of young people this summer who lost

:14:02. > :14:09.out when their GCSE English was downgraded, and Michael Gove's

:14:09. > :14:14.response was to wash his hands of responsibility. So much for "We're

:14:14. > :14:18.all in this together." Michael Gove's message to young people is,

:14:18. > :14:23."You're on your own." APPLAUSE

:14:23. > :14:28.It's no wonder that One Nation Conservatives don't agree with him.

:14:28. > :14:32.Ken Baker, the former Education Secretary, says that Labour has got

:14:32. > :14:38.it right on vocational education. The Conservative MP Graham Stewart

:14:38. > :14:43.says that Michael Gove's new exams are ill-conceived and incoherent.

:14:43. > :14:48.We, of course, know that Michael Gove is wrong, but even

:14:48. > :14:54.Conservatives now are saying he's extreme and out of touch. Labour

:14:54. > :14:58.will rise to the challenge of every young person staying in education

:14:58. > :15:02.until they're 18. As Ed said on Tuesday, there is already a clear

:15:02. > :15:09.pathway for those who do A-levels and then go on to university. We

:15:10. > :15:15.need a clear path for the forgotten 50%. That is why we're going to

:15:15. > :15:18.create a new gold standard vocational qualification for

:15:19. > :15:22.technical -- the technical baccalaureate. Michael Gove want

:15:22. > :15:32.narrow, elitist education. We are the party of One Nation education.

:15:32. > :15:38.

:15:38. > :15:42.Instead of coming up with a plan on the back of a number of, we will

:15:42. > :15:47.engage the experts in business, in education, young people themselves.

:15:47. > :15:57.Michael Gove has a plan for some schools. He has a plan for some

:15:57. > :16:00.

:16:00. > :16:05.pupils. Labour has a plan for all So, all schools with extra rights,

:16:05. > :16:10.and extra responsibilities, one mission. Raise standards for

:16:10. > :16:16.everyone. We heard from Bob Tizzard about the free schools, so let me

:16:16. > :16:22.say something about that. On one hand, some of them are good. School

:16:22. > :16:26.21, popular with parents, using its ground-breaking techniques to raise

:16:26. > :16:31.standards for some of the poorest children in that Borough. Labour

:16:31. > :16:36.cannot begin schools that drive up standards and a narrow the gap in

:16:36. > :16:41.life chances. However, there are serious problems with Michael

:16:41. > :16:47.Gove's centralised free schools programme. He really does think

:16:47. > :16:51.that the way to build new schools is to throw darts at a map, so

:16:51. > :16:57.whilst we have a crisis in primary school places, three schools are

:16:57. > :17:01.being built in areas with spare places. And unlike Labour's

:17:01. > :17:07.Academy's programme, there is no focus on schools under performing,

:17:07. > :17:12.no focus on areas of great social and economic need. I say engage of

:17:12. > :17:18.local parents, local communities, and you will not end up with the

:17:18. > :17:21.chaos and waste of schools that do not open or schools half-empty.

:17:21. > :17:26.Instead of decisions being made in Whitehall, we will restore a

:17:26. > :17:30.partnership between local and central government and end the

:17:30. > :17:40.practice that stops good local authorities setting up new schools

:17:40. > :17:41.

:17:41. > :17:48.And let me say this. Whatever the type of school, we should celebrate

:17:48. > :17:53.success in academies, community schools, all types of schools. We

:17:54. > :18:00.will put local communities and parents back in the driving seat.

:18:00. > :18:08.But, you know, what Michael Gove really wants to do is to introduce

:18:08. > :18:18.profit making schools. Let me be crystal clear. I will never allow

:18:18. > :18:19.

:18:19. > :18:25.profit-making schools in this The most successful countries in

:18:25. > :18:30.the world for Education see teaching as an elite profession for

:18:30. > :18:32.the very best graduates. We will have a new deal for teachers.

:18:32. > :18:40.Labour supported the teacher first programme, to bring the top

:18:41. > :18:46.graduates into teaching. I want to double that, the number of recruits,

:18:46. > :18:50.from 1,000, to 2000 a year, and then go further so it becomes one

:18:50. > :18:57.of the main routes into teaching. You know, it's heartbreaking to see

:18:57. > :19:02.the damage that the Tories are doing to education. But it's not

:19:02. > :19:08.enough for us to criticise. That's the easy part. We have to show that

:19:08. > :19:13.we will make a difference. We would help the teenagers whose GCSEs were

:19:13. > :19:21.downgraded. We would help the parents struggling to find a

:19:21. > :19:28.primary school place. We would help the forgotten 50%. One nation

:19:28. > :19:33.education. Excellence for Everyone. The comprehensive ideal realised.

:19:33. > :19:43.Live your dreams. Achieve your potential. Wherever you come from.

:19:43. > :19:45.

:19:45. > :19:48.Whatever your background. That is Stephen Twigg speaking earlier.

:19:48. > :19:51.Well, straight after his speech, my colleague Jo Coburn spoke to the

:19:51. > :19:55.Shadow Local Government Secretary Hilary Benn.

:19:55. > :20:01.A you going to do what Labour members seem to wanted to do and

:20:01. > :20:04.close free schools when you get into power? If schools are popular,

:20:04. > :20:09.they are doing a good job, course we are not going to close them down,

:20:09. > :20:14.but like a lot of members here at a conference, we have real concerns

:20:14. > :20:18.about them. First of all, they don't give the local community much

:20:18. > :20:21.of the save. Secondly, if you look at the pupils, they have half the

:20:21. > :20:26.numbers of poorer pupils in contrast to academy programmes

:20:26. > :20:34.which focused on areas of disadvantage. Thirdly, we have a

:20:34. > :20:38.primary school places crisis. We have them opened up in places where

:20:38. > :20:42.there's enough classrooms and, in other places, they find it

:20:42. > :20:47.difficult to provide additional classrooms needed for rising rolls,

:20:47. > :20:50.so those are genuine concerns that people have got. It is a part of

:20:50. > :20:56.the reason why Michael ago of has not done a good job as Education

:20:56. > :21:03.Secretary, because he wants to take the system back to the 1950s --

:21:03. > :21:07.Michael Gove. We have got to look after all children everywhere.

:21:07. > :21:14.about this one nation slogan? Is that what we're going to hear all

:21:14. > :21:22.the time? One-nation Labour? you say that again? Is that what we

:21:22. > :21:26.will hear all the time from Labour politicians? Well, as you know, Ed

:21:26. > :21:29.Miliband made a really powerful speech here on Tuesday and anyone

:21:29. > :21:33.watching that would have been left in no doubt about who he is, where

:21:33. > :21:37.he comes from, what he stands for and what a good leader he is, and

:21:37. > :21:42.if you look at what's happening in the country at the moment, next

:21:42. > :21:45.April, people on low incomes will have to pay more council tax.

:21:45. > :21:50.People with spare bedrooms will be penalised for having them, even

:21:50. > :21:55.though it could be where a carer comes to say, or their son or

:21:55. > :22:00.daughter comes to visit them. People were more than �150,000 a

:22:00. > :22:07.year will have a tax cut. That is two nation politics. We should

:22:07. > :22:14.think about the whole of the nation. What about going on a TUC march?

:22:14. > :22:17.Why is Ed Miliband doing that? It's a divisive. No, I disagree with you.

:22:17. > :22:20.There are people working up and down the country who are worried

:22:20. > :22:25.about the failure of the Government's economic policy,

:22:25. > :22:30.borrowing is going up. membership of unions is the lowest

:22:30. > :22:35.since the 1920s. You don't solve a borrowing problem by people being

:22:35. > :22:42.on the dole. We said use the proceeds of the auction to build

:22:42. > :22:49.100,000 new homes, and unemployment builders are taken off the dole

:22:49. > :22:52.queue. People doing the same job should be a different amounts of

:22:52. > :22:57.money in different parts of the country, they say. These are things

:22:57. > :23:02.people feel strongly about and that will be expressed in March, on 20th

:23:02. > :23:06.October, and it's right for everybody to join in. Workers are

:23:06. > :23:11.complaining about a pay freeze which you support. Being in

:23:11. > :23:16.government, life is about the choices you make. But you're not in

:23:16. > :23:19.government. No, but Ed Miliband has been clear about the choices which

:23:19. > :23:25.have to be made and if there was a choice between keeping people

:23:25. > :23:31.working, and restraint on that pay, Ed Balls has argued rightly so that

:23:31. > :23:35.that is the right choice to make. Keeping people in a job, that's

:23:35. > :23:41.better than more people in the public services losing their jobs.

:23:41. > :23:45.Briefly, since we had the story about rail franchises, many people

:23:45. > :23:51.believe they should be renationalise. Shouldn't that be of

:23:51. > :23:57.policy? We have to find out exactly how this complete disaster happened.

:23:57. > :24:01.Are you in favour of nationalising? Patrick McLoughlin said last week,

:24:01. > :24:06.the whole process was done correctly but he announced this

:24:06. > :24:13.week it's been a mess and will cost the taxpayer �40 million. Are you

:24:13. > :24:19.in favour of nationalising them? They should stop it, the East Coast

:24:19. > :24:23.Main Line. In the end, you will have effective regulation, but we

:24:23. > :24:28.want a successful railway industry. Are you in favour of

:24:28. > :24:32.renationalising the railways? will set out the policy in the next

:24:32. > :24:38.election. We are focusing on an effective system for running the

:24:38. > :24:42.railways, to get investment in new trains are. There's been a huge

:24:42. > :24:45.growth in that new rolling stock during our turning government. More

:24:45. > :24:49.people are travelling on the railways at the moment but you

:24:49. > :24:55.can't up the fiasco we have seen this week because the Government is

:24:55. > :24:58.incompetent. Thank you for that. Hilary Benn speaking to Jo Coburn.

:24:58. > :25:03.Well, Mr Benn himself took to the stage earlier to discuss the

:25:03. > :25:09.troubles faced by Labour councils. Let's face it, life could not be

:25:09. > :25:16.tougher. Councils have been singled out for cuts in funding which are

:25:16. > :25:20.not just, unfair, and intrude Tory style, the poorer the area, the

:25:20. > :25:25.bigger the cuts they are making -- in it true Tory style. All in this

:25:25. > :25:32.together, Mr Cameron? You have absolutely no idea what that means,

:25:32. > :25:37.do you? While up Helen Jones is fighting for a fair deal, for

:25:37. > :25:43.communities, Chris Williamson fighting for the fire service, our

:25:43. > :25:45.councillors are facing difficult and agonising choices. But with a

:25:45. > :25:51.quiet determination, they are making those choices not because

:25:51. > :25:54.they don't care but because they do care. To choose is to express our

:25:54. > :26:00.Labour values and to show that we can make a difference to people's

:26:00. > :26:03.lives, and while we may not be in Government nationally, we are in

:26:03. > :26:08.government locally, and gaining more councils and doing it by

:26:08. > :26:14.winning people's trust by showing that Labour difference. And by

:26:14. > :26:24.proving, when things are tough, we don't write people off, we stretch

:26:24. > :26:29.out a hand and we Polly each other up. -- bring each other up. The

:26:29. > :26:33.Tories push youth unemployment up and we provide apprenticeships. The

:26:33. > :26:37.Tories cut that affordable housing budget and attack the security of

:26:37. > :26:41.tenancy. Labour councils are building new homes. The Tories

:26:41. > :26:45.punished people are having a spare bedroom but Labour provides one for

:26:45. > :26:50.the pensioners, rail fares increase, heating bills increase, and the

:26:50. > :26:54.Tories want to drive down wages by paying council workers, public

:26:54. > :27:00.sector workers doing a job in one part of the country, less money

:27:00. > :27:03.than someone doing exactly the same job in another part of the country.

:27:03. > :27:07.It is shameful. What Labour councils are doing, they are doing

:27:07. > :27:12.their damnedest to pay the living wage. Who said Labour politics does

:27:12. > :27:15.not make a difference? Who said we are all the same? It is not true.

:27:15. > :27:19.Well, that's it from Manchester and from the Labour Conference for

:27:19. > :27:22.another year. At the start of this week, I said that Labour would

:27:22. > :27:26.judge this conference a success if by the end of the week we had a

:27:26. > :27:29.clearer idea of who Ed Miliband is, and what a Labour government would

:27:29. > :27:35.do for the country. I think they will have answer the first question.

:27:35. > :27:41.The speech was successful and he has a much better image now. The

:27:42. > :27:44.policy detail remains light. I'm off to Birmingham now for the

:27:44. > :27:51.Conservative Party Conference. I'll be back next week after Newsnight

:27:51. > :28:01.with all the highlights. We leave you with the singing of the Red

:28:01. > :28:04.

:28:04. > :28:14.Flag. Good night. # The people's flag is deepest red,

:28:14. > :28:15.
