| This morning we bring you a detailed account of life inside the Calais refugee camp. In a piece written by the director of Migrant Voice we hear the stories of people who have made the perilous trip across the Mediterranean and through Europe in search of a better life. The writer points out that as we head towards winter the already difficult conditions in Calais will only get worse and calls for Europe to have a unified approach to the crisis with humanity at the heart of it.
Elsewhere, we have our verdict on Tim Farron's speech to the Lib Dem conference yesterday. We suggest the new leader missed a chance to make a clear break with the past and take the first steps towards changing damaged perceptions of the party. It was delivered brilliantly but as was clear from earlier briefings this was a continuity Clegg speech and we conclude terribly misguided.
We also carry a report on a mass eviction of housing activists in north London. In protest against the sell of social housing, campaigners have been occupying empty homes on the Sweets Way estate for the past six months. But early yesterday morning bailiffs moved on to the estate to start removing them.
And finally, we bring you news that the Metropolitan police are to reverse Theresa May's cuts to stop and searches following an increase in knife deaths in the capital.
