McDonnell: 'I haven't given up ranting'

Labour's John McDonnell has given his first speech as shadow chancellor at the party conference in Brighton on Monday.

Earlier this month, Mr McDonnell apologised for saying in 2003 that IRA members should be "honoured". He also said he was sorry for an "appalling joke" about former Conservative Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher.

Asked about comments he had made on insurrection, John McDonnell told Newsnight his views had changed over the years but that he had not given up "ranting" since becoming shadow chancellor.
