    She also spoke about her plans for the party in the event of her election as deputy leader, saying she wants to give Labour members a chance to become more involved in the party process.

    First Minister of Scotland John Swinney said he reserved the right to maintain his government's policy of pausing public funding for defence companies selling arms to Israel until there's a certainty that progress made with the ceasefire can be sustained.
