  8. Corbyn speech: 'Unleashed, unvarnished'published at 12:13 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Norman Smith
    Assistant political editor

    It was a passionate speech. There wasn't much in the way of policy, not much on Brexit.

    Instead, what we got was Jeremy Corbyn unleashed, unvarnished. The real Jeremy Corbyn and that is deliberate because his people believe he is a real vote winner. That people respond to his authenticity.

    We heard language we don't usually hear from politicians. He talked about a "reckoning" for bosses, bankers, media barons, and others. The sort of language that Labour politicians in the past have tended to shy away from for fear of angering voters. 

  9. Labour 'upping targets in Scotland'published at 12:10 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Still on Labour but looking to Scotland rather than Manchester, our BBC Scotland political correspondent says there's a mood of optimism in the ranks.

    You'll remember that at the 2015 general election the SNP won 50 seats - leaving them with 56 out of a total of 59 country-wide. Labour lost 40.

    Nick Eardley says Labour are upping their targets in Scotland after the local elections, and now say they are within "touching distance" in seven seats.

    Parties always like to talk up their chances, he adds, but anti-Independence parties are upping the rhetoric following last week's results at the polls.

    Andy [Burnham] will be a great mayor, says Jeremy Corbyn.

  11. GMB will 'not hesitate to defend jobs and fair pay'published at 12:02 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Responding to Theresa May's pledge to cap energy prices, GMB national secretary Justin Bowden says if it becomes policy, Ofgem must distinguish between profiteering and the resources needed to generate jobs and pay for infrastructure investment.

    Quote Message

    “In all the predictable froth about competition and profiteering in what are natural monopolies, nobody should lose sight of the facts. If the regulator gets the balance wrong, leading to cuts to jobs or terms and conditions as a result, GMB will not hesitate to defend UK jobs and fair pay and conditions."

  14. 'Move on up!' Corbyn speech concludespublished at 11:48 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Corbyn team

    Jeremy Corbyn is now finished and to the strains of "Move on up" by Curtis Mayfield, he's joined on stage by the shadow cabinet, all smiles and clapping.

  15. When Labour wins, there'll be a reckoning - Corbynpublished at 11:45 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    "When we win, the British people win," says Mr Corbyn to whoops and cheers from his audience.

    "When we win, the nurse, the carer, the sole trader.... they all win."

    He says "the economy is still rigged in favour of the rich and powerful", but adds: "When Labour wins, there will be a reckoning."

  17. What's fair about Tory policies? - Corbynpublished at 11:37 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    The Labour leader takes aim at Theresa May personally. He says she promised to make Britain fairer when she entered Downing Street last year, but "what's fair?", he asks, about some of her actions. 

    The "bedroom tax", "starving our schools of funding", closing Surestart centres - those are some of the examples he gives.

  18. 'The many, not the few' phrase recycledpublished at 11:36 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    Our colleague Brian spots that Jeremy Corbyn is using the phrase “the many, not the few” on his campaign material, which is an old New Labour slogan that Tony Blair is still using.

    The Tony Blair Institute for Global Change, on its Facebook page, says it “aims to help make globalisation work for the many, not the few. We do this by helping countries, their people, and their governments, address some of the most difficult challenges in the world today”.

  19. Labour is under attack for standing up to the elites - Corbynpublished at 11:34 British Summer Time 9 May 2017

    "This is a rich country," says Jeremy Corbyn. "And the richest have got richer," thanks to tax cuts handed to them by the Tories.

    He says ordinary people are being "held back" by "a rigged system".

    Singling out media owner Rupert Murdoch, along with the "Tory scaremongering and spin machine", he says people fear change.

    "Labour is under attack, because we are standing up to the elites."

    But he says Labour must convince "the sceptical and undecided" - no small feat, as the local elections showed last week.

    Now the headline act - Jeremy Corbyn. He starts with some praise for Andy Burnham, the newly-elected mayor of Manchester. 

    He brings him up on stage for a handshake, some back-slapping and a wave.
