Paul Duncan, in Lancashire: Mr Miliband is completely out of touch, how soon people forget that the Blair and Brown years were those that wrecked the British economy. It is only through prudent management including low interest rates that we are finally seeing the mess cleared up - yet again by Conservatives.

Downing Street said the Prime Minister supported the US-led airstrikes against IS terrorists and would be holding talks at the UN in New York "on what more the UK and others can do to contribute to international efforts to tackle the threat". "The UK is already offering significant military support, including supplying arms to the Kurds as well as surveillance operations by a squadron of Tornadoes and other RAF aircraft," a spokesman said. Earlier Labour supporters gave us their views on whether the UK should get involved.

On devolution, Labour's Simon Danczuk said Scottish MPs should not be voting on English legislation. "What I'm talking about is what's best for English people. We want to deliver powers right down to the people themselves and I'm sure Ed Miliband will say something about it today in his speech," he told BBC2's Daily Politics.

Labour's Simon Danczuk told BBC2's Daily Politics that all three parties are at risk from UKIP. "I think we need to be aware of the threat from UKIP," he said. "They'll be taking votes from disaffected Liberal Democrats, Tories and potentially, Labour, so we have to work really hard for every single vote."

The top seller at Blackwell's conference book stall is Dennis Skinner's new memoir Sailing Close to the Wind. The veteran left-winger may be putting another shift in later on signing duties, if a new supply of books arrives in time.

The Liberal Democrat position is that no proposal to recall Parliament has been discussed as no proposal to participate in air strikes has been put to the UK government. If a request was made - we're told - they would demand it was legal, part of a wider coalition, did not involve boots on the ground and should be approved by Parliament.

Labour MP Barry Sheerman told BBC2's Daily Politics he was still on speaking terms with Gordon Brown, despite calling for him to step down when he was prime minister. "We speak," he said. "We share a lift and we share a chat - usually about football."

Labour Party members are already queuing up for Ed Miliband's big speech. A ticket does not guarantee a seat apparently.

One thing and one thing alone will determine whether the UK joins the United States in taking military action against Islamic State forces - parliamentary opinion. David Cameron will not risk a repeat of the Commons defeat he faced last summer over air strikes in response to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's use of chemical weapons. Read more from Nick.

Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander says: "ISIL are a threat to international security. We understand and support the action that has been taken both by the United States and Arab allies in recent hours. Both the president and the prime minister are due in the United Nations this week so we are now urging that a resolution be brought to the Security Council of the United Nations."

Noel in Reading: It's time we ditched rule by ONE party and replaced it with rule by ALL parties in a shared democratically elected pool. That is the only way this country will move forward.

The shadow housing minister also set out Labour's plan to reform the private rented sector, including legislating for longer fixed-term tenancies, a cap on rent increases and a ban on letting agencies' tenancy fees.

Outlining Labour's vision, Ms Reynolds says local authorities would be given powers to speed up house-building in their area and to stop developers sitting on land - as well as bringing forward the "next generation" of garden cities and towns.

Labour's shadow housing minister Emma Reynolds criticises progress on house building, which she says is at its lowest level in peace time since the 1920s. Ms Reynolds says there would be a shortage of two million homes by 2020 if current trends continue, whereas Labour would commit to building "at least 200,000 homes a year by 2020".

Shadow transport secretary Mary Creagh says her first act in government would be to introduce a Local Transport Bill, and encourage more walking and cycling in towns and cities.

One senior Conservative backbencher has told me that he does not expect Parliament to be recalled on Friday to discuss possible airstrikes against IS. He told me that a Friday recall was "not inconceivable" but he thought the Thursday after the Conservative conference was more likely.
