Corbyn backer calls for Mandelson to be expelled

"There is no act of treachery or meanness of which a political party is not capable." - Benjamin Disraeli View this email in your browser This morning we bring you the latest from the Labour party conference where things haven't got off to a very harmonious start.  We have the news that one of Jeremy Corbyn's leading parliamentary backers, Michael Meacher has said that Peter Mandelson's attacks on the new leader are "close to traitorous" and should lead to his potential expulsion from the party. And we look at Corbyn's conference defeat on Trident. Britain is now likely to have a continuous at-sea nuclear weapon until the 2040s but in doing so are we actually breaking international law? Elsewhere, we hear from the chief executive of the homeless charity Crisis. With recent government figures showing homelessness is on the rise, he makes a social and economical argument for why the government must act now to tackle this.
