This morning we bring you more news from the Labour party conference where Jeremy Corbyn is preparing to give his keynote speech this afternoon. John McDonnell told a conference fringe meeting last night that the party will now automatically support all strikes taken by trade unions, saying it needed to become a "resistance movement." He also made his first major speech as shadow chancellor yesterday. The left-wing firebrand took a calmer and more consensual approach than he has in the past. But can he and Corbyn really do enough to challenge the Tory narrative that they are a threat to the country's economic and national security? Elsewhere, we hear from the cannabis law reform campaign, Clear, who have been lobbying MPs ahead of a cannabis debate in parliament next month. They say the responses they have received show how little some politicians understand the issue. |
