    The boss of Britain's biggest union - and a key ally of Jeremy Corbyn - has come up with a novel way of claiming victory for Labour in Thursday's general election.

    In an interview with the BBC's John Pienaar, Unite general secretary Len McCluskey said: "We've been told consistently by media commentators that you can't get anywhere with a left-wing manifesto, with policies that are radical. That's gone out the window."

    But told by John Pienaar that Labour still hadn't won the election, Mr McCluskey said: "Yes we did! We won the hearts and minds of millions and millions of people.

    "Belief is the most powerful thing. Hope is something that people desperately need. We're going to go on to victory in the not-too-distant future."

    The shadow chancellor has told ITV's Peston on Sunday he does not see continued membership of the single market as "even being on the table" in Brexit negotiations.

    John McDonnell said he thought people would interpret continued membership of the single market as not respecting the decision of the referendum.

    He added Labour had been clear they wanted a "jobs first Brexit" - and tariff-free access to the single market.

    Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry insists Labour still accepts the Brexit vote.

    "We are leaving the European Union, we are going to be responsible for our own borders," she says.

    However, she adds, Labour would balance the needs of the economy with the need to control immigration.

  7. 'Labour is on the verge of government' - Thornberrypublished at 12:14 British Summer Time 11 June 2017

    Sky News

    Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry says the Conservatives have no mandate for their manifesto and Labour is ready for government.

    "We have to be absolutely on our toes," she tell's Sky's Sophie Ridge.

    Ms Thornberry disputes that Labour lost the election but says: "Let's see how the Tories do. Let's see if they hold it together."

    If they don't, Labour is willing to "step up" and be an alternative minority government, she adds - and even claims that Tory rebels could back a Labour programme for government.

    "It would be up to other parties, and it would be up to some Conservative MPs, to decide whether they want to support it or not."

    And in an appeal for Labour unity, she adds: "We have shown just what a force we can be if we stick together."

    Andrew Neil and Jon Ashworth

    It was the Labour manifesto launch that saw the party come from behind in the polls, says Jon Ashworth.

    He said he was proud of the policies he had helped write, and would be happy to fight a future election on them.

    The shadow health secretary told Andrew Neil: “I looked at those opinion polls and thought: Crikey, this could not be a good result for the Labour Party potentially.

    “Lots of people thought it was going to a landslide Tory victory, Theresa May thought she was going to have a landslide Tory victory.

    “That is why she put her party first and not the national interest first in going for this snap election.”

    And he predicted the government would either collapse or become a "zombie parliament" with the PM unable to get her legislation passed.

    Sunday Politics panel on the way ahead

    The election result means the Conservatives may have to drop some policies to get their Queen's Speech and Budget approved by Parliament.

    Examining the differences between the DUP and the Conservative agenda, the Sunday Politics panel looked at the way ahead.

    Steve Richards said the chancellor would struggle to get some Budget proposals through.

    He reckoned Chancellor Philip Hammond was now "more trapped than ever" as the DUP backs a triple lock on pensions and keeping winter fuel payments for all pensioners.

    Julia Harley-Brewer claimed: "It's going to be about three paragraphs long, it's going to be the shortest Queen's Speech ever."

    And Tom Newton-Dunn said there was a new-found interest in DUP policies, which led to the web-site crashing on Friday.

    "Every journalist was logging on and think what do these people think about anything, because we are now going to be held hostage," he said.

  15. There should be no Labour complacency - Yvette Cooperpublished at 11:34 British Summer Time 11 June 2017

    Sky News

    Yvette Cooper

    Labour MP Yvette Cooper says it was great to win seats like Canterbury, but Labour must also ask how it can win back seats like Mansfield, which it lost on Thursday.

    "I don't think there'll be any sense of complacency anywhere in the party," she tells Sky News. "We need to do more."

    She concedes that "Theresa May's campaign unravelled" and that helped Labour.

    "We've got to keep challenging Theresa May and this deeply dodgy DUP deal," she adds.

    And should Jeremy Corbyn lead Labour into the next election?

    "Of course," Ms Cooper says - but she doesn't think Mrs May's "position is tenable at all".

    She jokes that Mrs May has secured "a coalition of chaos" for the Tories and "strong and stable leadership" for Labour - the opposite of what she intended.

    Andrew Neil looked at the raw figures from the number of MPs elected on Thursday (above).

    And then he aligned the parties (below) after removing the Speaker and deputies and Sinn Fein MPs, who would not be taking part in votes.

    This gives an indication of how the new House of Commons was likely to divide on key votes, if the Conservatives and the DUP do come to an agreement.

    Transport Secretary Chris Grayling continues to back Theresa May's position as PM.

    "We have to take this country through one of the most difficult processes it has been through for generations," the Brexit campaigner told Robert Peston.

    "The last thing we need is further political upheaval, so I am very clearly of the view that Theresa May has to stay on, she has to take us into that process, take us through that process."

    Quote Message

    It would be absolutely the wrong thing to do now to react to a disappointing general election result, to create more political instability just at a time when we need stability for those negotiations."

    Theresa May "called the election on a lie," Labour's Caroline Flint told Robert Peston on his ITV show, stressing that the Prime Minister already had majority backing for her Brexit negotiations and the attempt to bolster her mandate was unnecessary.

    "The hubris that she has demonstrated has been her downfall," she added.

    "Clearly there is less to Theresa than meets the eye."

  20. Tories will have to offer 'slimmed down Queen’s Speech' - MPpublished at 11:19 British Summer Time 11 June 2017

    Andrew Neil and Graham Brady

    The Conservatives will have to amend their manifesto and it will be a “slimmed down Queen’s Speech”, says Graham Brady.

    The chairman of the 1922 Committee, who backs grammar schools, said the party could still offer a “rather modest sort of pilot” and that could “command quite broad support” from across the political divide.

    He said the reshaping of the manifesto would be “a very interesting process to witness".

    Quote Message

    I hope we won’t have to stop altogether but certainly we are going to have trim our policies carefully, according to what we think Parliament would support."
