:00:09. > :00:11.Good evening and welcome back to Liverpool for our second round-up
:00:12. > :00:21.Some of the speeches today might have made a Jeremy Corbyn a little
:00:22. > :00:23.uncomfortable. Education not segregation
:00:24. > :00:26.was the theme of Shadow Education Secretary Angela Rayner's speech,
:00:27. > :00:30.she even quoted Tony Blair. London Mayor Sadiq Khan did
:00:31. > :00:33.a popular turn to the hall, but his message was blunt -
:00:34. > :00:45.Labour can't do anything Tom Watson drove the point home by
:00:46. > :00:50.listing some of the things Labour should be proud of during the
:00:51. > :00:54.Blair-Brown governments. He won himself a standing ovation.
:00:55. > :00:59.Thrashing our record is not the way to enhance our brand. We won't win
:01:00. > :01:04.elections like that. We need to win elections.
:01:05. > :01:08.Opposition to the Government's plans to increase the number of grammar
:01:09. > :01:12.schools is one of the few things most Labour members can agree on,
:01:13. > :01:16.and their Shadow Education Secretary Angela Raynor rammed the point home
:01:17. > :01:28.in a passionate but very personal speech this afternoon.
:01:29. > :01:34.Conference, I left school at 16 pregnant and with no qualifications.
:01:35. > :01:41.Some may argue I was not a great role model for today's young people.
:01:42. > :01:48.The direction of my life was already set. You know what, conference,
:01:49. > :01:51.something happened. Labour's Sure Start centres gave me and my friends
:01:52. > :01:56.and our children the help and support that we needed to grow and
:01:57. > :02:06.develop. APPLAUSE
:02:07. > :02:11.They changed the lives of three million children and their parents.
:02:12. > :02:16.That's why I'm proud to announce today Labour's new child care tax
:02:17. > :02:21.force to help us transformerliy years provision for every family in
:02:22. > :02:31.the 21st century. APPLAUSE
:02:32. > :02:38.Every single child has merit. APPLAUSE
:02:39. > :02:44.That is why I will fight with every breath in my body against the new
:02:45. > :02:52.grammar schools. APPLAUSE
:02:53. > :02:57.Conference, she's not produced a single scrap of evidence that
:02:58. > :03:04.grammar schools can help social mobility. Selection or segregation,
:03:05. > :03:09.as it should be called, entrenches division and increases inequality.
:03:10. > :03:16.Conference, you've heard it before, Tony Blair talked about education,
:03:17. > :03:20.education, education. Theresa May wants segregation, segregation,
:03:21. > :03:30.segregation. APPLAUSE
:03:31. > :03:37.Conference, our party, our Labour Party, will fight it, starting on
:03:38. > :03:40.Saturday, when we launch our nationwide campaign against more
:03:41. > :03:48.grammar schools. We're going to take the fight to the Tories.
:03:49. > :03:53.APPLAUSE Conference, I appeal to everyone,
:03:54. > :04:01.all of my Labour colleagues, to help lead this fight. Because together we
:04:02. > :04:06.can defeat this. Conference, no matter what people say, Labour is
:04:07. > :04:11.the party of social mobility, helping everyone to get on in their
:04:12. > :04:17.life, reaching their full potential. We are the party of comprehensives,
:04:18. > :04:21.of the open university. It was us, Labour, that founded that, bringing
:04:22. > :04:27.opportunity to all. APPLAUSE
:04:28. > :04:35.We are the party of access to the best education for all, enabling
:04:36. > :04:41.every child to go as far as their tallents and their ambition can take
:04:42. > :04:48.them. These are the values that we all hold dear. One party, united,
:04:49. > :04:52.one Labour. APPLAUSE
:04:53. > :04:56.Now what better way to spend your birthday than giving
:04:57. > :05:02.That's what Shadow Health Secretary Diane Abbott did,
:05:03. > :05:11.Conference, I am proud to be responding to this debate
:05:12. > :05:16.as Shadow Secretary of State for Health under the leadership of a
:05:17. > :05:31.The junior doctors action is suspended and we all hope that,
:05:32. > :05:37.even at this late stage, Jeremy Hunt will go back
:05:38. > :05:41.into negotiation but, conference, let there be no
:05:42. > :05:47.doubt, Labour stands with the junior doctors.
:05:48. > :05:52.And we need to be clear, that an end to freedom of movement
:05:53. > :05:58.could be a disaster for the NHS and social care.
:05:59. > :06:07.And we need to demand assurances from the Government about the EU
:06:08. > :06:15.Under Jeremy Corbyn's leadership, the Labour Party will be committed
:06:16. > :06:21.to halting and reversing the tide of privatisation and
:06:22. > :06:31.The Health and Social Care Act has fragmented the system,
:06:32. > :06:35.making it so much easier for the private-sector to move in.
:06:36. > :06:38.Conference, Labour in government will repeal the Health
:06:39. > :06:56.And now, in its time of need, the NHS looks to communities
:06:57. > :07:01.and the Labour movement to come together, defend it,
:07:02. > :07:28.Accusations of antisemitism in Labour continue to fly,
:07:29. > :07:31.despite the leadership trying to draw a line under the criticisms
:07:32. > :07:38.with an inquiry by the human rights campaigner Shami Chakrabarti.
:07:39. > :07:44.She's now a Labour peer. I asked whether her report hadn't closed the
:07:45. > :07:55.issue down. I was delighted to hear that the NEC
:07:56. > :07:59.has adopted certain aspects of my report, the recommendations on
:08:00. > :08:05.language and conduct and stereotyping. There are some
:08:06. > :08:10.procedural recommendations that have yet to be implemented, not least
:08:11. > :08:14.greater resource for discipline and an in-house council. At this
:08:15. > :08:17.conference, leaflets have been handed out calling for the
:08:18. > :08:22.compulsion of the Jewish Labour movement from the party. A Jewish
:08:23. > :08:26.Labour MP has had to employ personal security to come to the conference
:08:27. > :08:30.that. Would suggest it's still a pretty big problem. Well, there are
:08:31. > :08:34.issues and we can't run away from them. Those are quite serious
:08:35. > :08:40.issues. They are serious issues and more has to be done. I was heartened
:08:41. > :08:44.to hear a re-elected Jeremy Corbyn use his now even greater mandate to
:08:45. > :08:47.be, I think, clearer than he's ever been with people across the party,
:08:48. > :08:52.including people who claim to be his friends. He's been crystal clear
:08:53. > :08:55.that this is not going to be tolerated going forward. That's
:08:56. > :09:00.incredibly going forward. No part of our society is immune for
:09:01. > :09:04.anti-Semitism and from racism, as we saw - It seems to be pretty virulent
:09:05. > :09:09.in the Labour Party at the moment. I'm not going to get into the
:09:10. > :09:14.competition of virtue or victimhood. We've had a toxic summer in British
:09:15. > :09:19.politics. We lost a bright, young MP... I understand that. This is
:09:20. > :09:24.what you and Jeremy Corbyn have done from the start. You try to
:09:25. > :09:30.generalise the anti-Semitism rather than sticking with the specific
:09:31. > :09:35.issues of anti-Semitism. The Juwish Board of Deputies, the most
:09:36. > :09:41.important Jewish organisation in the country, described the report as a
:09:42. > :09:45."a whitewash for peerages scandal." A particular person described it
:09:46. > :09:52.that way. What do you say to that? I would say no community is a
:09:53. > :09:56.monolith. No one person speaks on behalf an entire community. I had
:09:57. > :10:00.lots of support from other members of that community. Leading Jewish
:10:01. > :10:06.charity says that your report was "a shameless kick in the teeth". Well,
:10:07. > :10:10.I'm sorry that not everyone is grows with everything that I wrote. What
:10:11. > :10:16.leading Jewish organisations have supported your report? I've had
:10:17. > :10:20.support from a number of people in the Jewish Labour movement, from
:10:21. > :10:25.rabbis. I didn't ask about individuals. I asked what leading
:10:26. > :10:30.representative Jewish organisations have supported your report. I wrote
:10:31. > :10:33.the report, mostly for Jewish members of the Labour Party, who
:10:34. > :10:37.were feeling threatened and unwelcome. Interestingly, they
:10:38. > :10:42.crossed the political spectrum. What support have you had? What leading
:10:43. > :10:46.Jewish institution has come out and backed your report? I'm not doing
:10:47. > :10:51.this for institutions. I'm doing this for people. I know what it's
:10:52. > :10:55.like to have received racism. I've been aware of anti-Semitism in the
:10:56. > :11:00.Labour Party and in the country all my life. That is what motivated me
:11:01. > :11:07.to do this work. That motivates me still. Why due join the Labour Party
:11:08. > :11:12.to do this report? We've known you've had Labour leanings, but for
:11:13. > :11:14.the wider public, that wanted to be re-assured that this is an
:11:15. > :11:19.independent report, why join the party to do the report? Because in
:11:20. > :11:22.my view, if you want to achieve change and if you want to tell
:11:23. > :11:27.people difficult things about themselves and about their party, it
:11:28. > :11:31.is better to do that honestly from within. The problem is that a lot of
:11:32. > :11:36.people don't think you told any hard truths, that you had some minor
:11:37. > :11:41.criticisms, but not hard truths. I don't think it's a minor criticism
:11:42. > :11:48.to talk about new 21st century ethets used in the party. It's not
:11:49. > :11:52.minor to talk about the way in which the Holocaust has been preyed on in
:11:53. > :11:57.vain, people have used Nazi stereotypes. That's not running away
:11:58. > :12:02.from hard truths. It's all there in the report, as is the criticism of
:12:03. > :12:06.the disciplinary process. I hope and believe now that this toxic summer
:12:07. > :12:09.and this Civil War is coming to an end. People from all strands of the
:12:10. > :12:13.party will get behind this report. We can do better. When was the
:12:14. > :12:17.prospect of a peerage first discussed with you? I have dealt
:12:18. > :12:22.with all of these questions, Andrew. You might want to rake over - Just
:12:23. > :12:26.indulge us, when? It's the first time we've had to chat. The report
:12:27. > :12:30.was published on June 30. Yes. When was the prospect a peerage first
:12:31. > :12:37.discussed, not the offer, just the prospect? After the report. There
:12:38. > :12:41.was no discussion at all beforehand? It was after my report. It was part
:12:42. > :12:48.of the Prime Minister's resignation honours. I understand... There was
:12:49. > :12:55.no discussion of a peerage with anyone in the Labour Party before
:12:56. > :12:59.the report was published? I have been approached for peerages and
:13:00. > :13:05.other - are you going to let me finish the answer to your question?
:13:06. > :13:10.You have claimed that before. No, I haven't claimed that, it's true. We
:13:11. > :13:14.can never verify that. I'm talking about this particular peerage, this
:13:15. > :13:19.one. This particular peerage, the only one I've ever owned was offered
:13:20. > :13:22.to me after the report as part of the Prime Minister's resignation
:13:23. > :13:24.list. Was it discussed before the report? No. With anybody in the
:13:25. > :13:27.Labour Party? No. Sadiq Khan, caused a bit of a stir
:13:28. > :13:30.today when he arrived A Labour politician with an election
:13:31. > :13:33.victory under his belt. Mr Khan is a bit of a rare
:13:34. > :13:36.Labour beast these days, It's fair to say that his message
:13:37. > :13:45.to the Conference wasn't subtle. Not just talking the talk,
:13:46. > :13:59.but walking the walk, too. Never sacrificing or selling out
:14:00. > :14:04.on our ideals, but putting them Not a revolution overnight,
:14:05. > :14:12.but real and meaningful change that makes life easier
:14:13. > :14:18.for the people who need it most. Conference, after the election
:14:19. > :14:21.this summer, the leadership of our party has now been decided
:14:22. > :14:25.and I congratulate Jeremy Now it's time for us
:14:26. > :14:35.to work together towards the greatest prize -
:14:36. > :14:39.getting Labour back into power. And Labour is in power right now,
:14:40. > :14:42.not just in London, Labour re-elected with
:14:43. > :14:48.the First Minister, And in Bristol with
:14:49. > :14:57.the new Mayor, Marvin Rees. Labour is in power right now
:14:58. > :15:06.in Liverpool, Manchester and Southampton, in Newcastle,
:15:07. > :15:10.Glasgow and Cambridge, in Birmingham, Nottingham,
:15:11. > :15:15.Leeds and Cardiff, too. Labour is in power in towns
:15:16. > :15:20.and cities the length Of course, Conference,
:15:21. > :15:25.Labour is not in power in the place we can have the biggest impact
:15:26. > :15:31.in our country, in Parliament. It's in government that Labour can
:15:32. > :15:34.make the biggest changes to people's lives and every day now
:15:35. > :15:37.we see what happens We see the re-introduction
:15:38. > :15:45.of grammar schools, which will leave too many children behind and deepen
:15:46. > :15:48.inequality in our country. We see that the Government has no
:15:49. > :15:52.plan for leaving the EU. We see that in 2016 someone's pay
:15:53. > :15:57.and career prospects can still be We've seen six years
:15:58. > :16:04.of damage to the services that people rely upon -
:16:05. > :16:08.to the NHS, to schools, The people who need us the most
:16:09. > :16:14.are those who suffer the most when Labour
:16:15. > :16:18.is not in power. Conference, let me
:16:19. > :16:30.end by saying this. Labour out of power would never ever
:16:31. > :16:33.be good enough. We can only improve lives
:16:34. > :16:36.with Labour in power. By winning elections,
:16:37. > :16:39.by putting Labour values Real Labour values, equality, social
:16:40. > :16:46.justice and opportunities for all. It's only with Labour in power can
:16:47. > :16:49.we create a fairer, more equal When Labour's not in power,
:16:50. > :16:58.we fail the very people So, Conference, my message today
:16:59. > :17:05.is clear - it's our duty and our responsibility to put Labour
:17:06. > :17:11.back in power across Britain. We've to start by winning
:17:12. > :17:13.the Mayoral elections next year in Liverpool,
:17:14. > :17:17.Manchester and Birmingham and ensuring Labour is in power
:17:18. > :17:21.in every great city in Britain because with Labour in power
:17:22. > :17:27.in cities and regions, we can show that our party can be
:17:28. > :17:32.trusted to govern again. With Labour in power we can
:17:33. > :17:35.demonstrate that we can make a real difference to people's lives
:17:36. > :17:39.and with Labour in power we can prove that we're
:17:40. > :17:42.ready for government. Conference, it's time to put
:17:43. > :17:47.Labour back in power. A Labour Prime Minister
:17:48. > :17:53.in Downing Street. A Labour Cabinet, Labour values
:17:54. > :17:56.put into action. Conference, it's time we put
:17:57. > :17:59.Labour back into power. He used the word "power" 38
:18:00. > :18:12.times in his speech - Labour's Deputy Leader, Tom Watson,
:18:13. > :18:18.he's also keen on power. He's elected to his position,
:18:19. > :18:22.so he's got a bit more freedom to say what he thinks,
:18:23. > :18:26.compared to those appointed by Jeremy Corbyn, and he was also
:18:27. > :18:29.keen to tell the party not to forget what it had achieved
:18:30. > :18:34.when it was in Government. Now I'd better get the difficult
:18:35. > :18:37.stuff out of the way. Whatever you think of that man,
:18:38. > :18:48.whatever he's done, how can Ed Balls be bottom of the leaderboard
:18:49. > :18:51.on Strictly Come Dancing. These haven't been the best few
:18:52. > :18:59.months of my 30 years We can't afford to keep
:19:00. > :19:03.doing this. And, more importantly, the country,
:19:04. > :19:20.the people we stand for, the millions the Tories leave behind
:19:21. > :19:23.every day, they can't afford I'm sure there's going to be
:19:24. > :19:33.an early general election. The more often Theresa May says it
:19:34. > :19:36.won't happen, the more certain I am We need to stand together as one
:19:37. > :19:41.Labour movement, millions Let's get behind John
:19:42. > :19:53.Trickett as he masterminds Link arms with our brothers
:19:54. > :19:57.and sisters in Labour, It's time for Labour
:19:58. > :20:01.to get back to business. The 11 years of Labour Government,
:20:02. > :20:07.between 1997 and 2008, were a completely unbroken period
:20:08. > :20:14.of economic growth. We made the economy work like never
:20:15. > :20:21.before or since and we lifted half a million children out of poverty,
:20:22. > :20:31.and lifted a million pensioners out of poverty and gave millions
:20:32. > :20:33.of low-paid workers the decency of a national minimum wage
:20:34. > :20:43.and introduced a radically redistributive system of tax credits
:20:44. > :20:45.and winter fuel payments, free TV Licences, free bus travel
:20:46. > :20:47.for older people. More than 200,000 doctors, nurses,
:20:48. > :20:51.teachers, police officers, More than doubling our
:20:52. > :20:58.overseas aid budget. I don't know why we've been
:20:59. > :21:01.focussing on what was wrong with the Blair
:21:02. > :21:02.and Brown governments But trashing our record is not
:21:03. > :21:09.the way to enhance our brand. We won't win elections like that
:21:10. > :21:12.and we need to win elections. The Prime Minister could
:21:13. > :21:41.call one next week. So now is the time to be proud
:21:42. > :21:47.of our party. We have to believe we can win
:21:48. > :21:50.and remember how much we achieve Jeremy, I don't think
:21:51. > :22:02.she got the unity memo! Now, in the past, big businesses
:22:03. > :22:20.were too easily cast as predators. We meant to say that we would stand
:22:21. > :22:24.up to the abuse of corporate power as the Tories never will,
:22:25. > :22:30.but we ended up sounding like we were anti-business,
:22:31. > :22:33.anti-prosperity, anti-success. Capitalism, comrades,
:22:34. > :22:38.is not the enemy. The real world is more
:22:39. > :22:45.complicated than that. As any practical trade
:22:46. > :22:47.unionist will tell you, The private-sector is what generates
:22:48. > :22:54.the money to pay for our We can afford the best health
:22:55. > :22:59.service in the world because we're one of the most prosperous
:23:00. > :23:01.countries in the world. I don't say this because it's
:23:02. > :23:13.what wins elections, I say it And people know that it's
:23:14. > :23:18.true, and that's why And the British people
:23:19. > :23:27.need that from us. We must be again what we are at our
:23:28. > :23:31.core, the party of Britain, of the real British values
:23:32. > :23:37.the Tories can never understand. Of compassion and fairness,
:23:38. > :23:38.alongside enterprise This is no nation of idealogs,
:23:39. > :23:45.we know that, and that's our They're blinded by money
:23:46. > :23:57.and power, it's all they care about and the old lady next door
:23:58. > :24:01.and your neighbour's children and that migrant family,
:24:02. > :24:03.working 60-hours a week and paying taxes, all these can
:24:04. > :24:05.go hang to the Tories. Other people don't matter to them,
:24:06. > :24:08.well that's not the British way. Yes, British people want a fair
:24:09. > :24:15.chance for themselves but they also care what happens
:24:16. > :24:25.to other children in the class, The others in the lengthening
:24:26. > :24:29.queues waiting months now They look like us and it's our job
:24:30. > :24:36.to show them once again that we're We need to do that now,
:24:37. > :24:40.the election could well be upon us. So let's give those Tories
:24:41. > :24:42.a surprise they'll remember. Get out on the streets and start
:24:43. > :24:45.telling the story of Labour. A great party of ordinary men
:24:46. > :24:48.and women, just like you, who can make the world better
:24:49. > :24:51.if you'll give us the chance. We've done it before and we've
:24:52. > :24:54.done it again. Let's win the election and set
:24:55. > :24:57.Britain free from the Tories. Tom Watson, in what they call
:24:58. > :25:26.'barnstorming mode'. Now, Brexit hasn't featured big
:25:27. > :25:30.at this conference though, without fanfare, it did vote today
:25:31. > :25:36.for another vote on the Brexit deal when it's eventually concluded,
:25:37. > :25:37.though that's unlikely But we sent our Adam out to find out
:25:38. > :25:45.what the rank and file really think. They're not having this debate

:25:48. > :25:50.here using this as the vehicle - to now deny them

:26:19. > :26:25.to accept their result in 2014 and we've got to accept
:26:26. > :26:27.our result in 2016. We need to be very careful on what

:26:37. > :26:38.absolutely embrace it. Can I ask you a question
:26:39. > :26:40.about your hair. What does it look like
:26:41. > :26:43.when you wake up in the morning? It's got to be quite
:26:44. > :26:45.flat, isn't it? Thank you very
:26:46. > :26:52.much. Actually another vote because people

:28:06. > :28:10.on the Ten O'Clock News. Oh, no, I was hoping that
:28:11. > :28:12.I could maybe do it. There we have our totally
