In case you were wondering, there is non-Corbyn news out there. Yesterday, the Commons backed the government's tax credit cuts, in the face of opposition from Labour and the SNP. Two Conservatives voted against the government and one abstained. Meanwhile, it's the last day of the TUC conference in Brighton and there are Welsh questions in the Commons before PMQs starts.
Will it work?published at 09:31

BBC political editorIt is easy to see Prime Minister's Questions as a pointless bear pit. Jeremy Corbyn has made plain he thinks it has to change - a more consensual, polite approach is his tactic, using questions that members of the public have sent in.
Will it work? Perhaps. Others, including the PM, have argued for an end to its Punch and Judy style. But there is a risk Mr Corbyn comes across as such a fish out of water if it falls flat.
There are good reasons though why PMQs is not to be dismissed. For the political world, it is the one guaranteed occasion each week where the opposition, not the government machine, has a chance to shape the agenda and get their issues to the top of the list.
'Media offensive'published at 09:25

Quote MessageBut a media offensive with clear, sharp messages is crucial too, or a campaign of smear will be left unchecked."
Hague on Corbynpublished at 09:15
There are some words of solidarity for Jeremy Corbyn from another previous leader of the opposition, William Hague, in today's Telegraph, external. In "one remarkable instant", Mr Hague says:
Quote MessageThis campaigner on disparate single issues was transformed into the country’s constitutional provider of alternative government, a job that requires an immediate and remorseless focus on what is realistic and practical rather than praiseworthy but fanciful."
William Hague's vision of life as the opposition leader doesn't sound too rosy:
Quote MessageAnd after the leadership campaign and victory in which opponents within your party were at your mercy, you now face the awful realisation that you are at their mercy, in a form of Mutual Assured Destruction – a particularly inconvenient truth for someone who does not believe in nuclear weapons."
Welfare cappublished at 09:08
Also in the new Labour leader's in-tray this morning is his party's policy on the welfare cap. The government has limited the total amount of household earnings from benefits at £26,000, and wants to lower this further, to £23,000.
Mr Corbyn told the TUC conference that Labour was putting forward amendments to remove the idea of a cap altogether. Hours later Owen Smith, the shadow work and pensions secretary, told BBC Newsnight the party was "very clear" that it was only opposing government plans to reduce the cap from £26,000 to £23,000. He said it would be "foolhardy" for the party to "set our face unthinkingly" against a policy that had public support.
On the Today programme Kate Green, the shadow women's minister quoted earlier, added:
Quote MessageThe present policy position of the party , decided collectively by the party - and that's the way we make policy in the Labour Party and Jeremy is very respectful of that collective approach - is that we accept the principle of the cap but it is not currently before parliament to have a vote to remove it altogether. Obviously if that becomes a possibility in parliament the party collectively will decide where we stand."
'Offended and hurt'published at 09:01
Today Programme
BBC Radio 4There has been some criticism of Mr Corbyn from his own front bench this morning over not singing the national anthem. Earlier, shadow minister for women and equalities Kate Green said his decision "will have offended and hurt people".
Quote Message"Jeremy absolutely stands with and respects everybody who has fought, who has lost their life, been wounded in fighting oppressions and defending our freedoms. For many people, the monarchy, singing the national anthem is a way of showing that respect. I think it would have been appropriate and right and respectful of people's feelings to have done so."
Raising morale?published at 08:50
Today Programme
BBC Radio 4Prime Minister's Question is a "real opportunity for the PM to be held to account", Lord Howard says.
Former Channel 4 News political editor Elinor Goodman adds that it is all very well for Mr Corbyn to be cordial and try to avoid the traditional shouting match, but:
Quote MessageThe problem is that the other role of PMQs is for the leader of the opposition to raise morale on his own side, and morale could hardly be lower on the Labour benches at the moment. He's got to provide he's not a complete disaster."
'Terrified'published at 08:45

BBC Radio 4Former Conservative leader Lord Howard says he was "terrified" at his PMQs debut as leader of the opposition.
Quote MessageIt's a real challenge and the first one is particularly important because everyone is looking to see how the new guy will perform."
Making the headlinespublished at 08:40
Labour's new leader might be advised against flicking through the papers as he prepares for his PMQs debut. There's a full digest of Fleet Street's reaction in the BBC's paper review, including some more sympathetic reaction in the Mirror, but here's a flavour:

As for Mr Corbyn's outfit during yesterday's service (his jacket and trousers did not match), Labour's former deputy leader Margaret Beckett tells BBC Breakfast:
Quote MessageI don't know whether Jeremy actually has a suit - it's quite possible he doesn't."

End of twitter postCorbyn and not singing the anthempublished at 08:10
Image source, PAAs if preparing for the noon session of PMQs was not enough, Jeremy Corbyn is facing criticism from Conservatives and his own MPs for deciding not to sing the national anthem during the Battle of Britain memorial service yesterday.
A spokesman for Mr Corbyn said the new Labour leader, who believes in the abolition of the monarchy, said he had "stood in respectful silence".
Tory MP Sir Nicholas Soames - the grandson of Winston Churchill - said the Labour leader had been very rude and disrespectful to the Queen.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage, who was at the service, said Mr Corbyn was "a hardcore republican to his fingertips, something that very few Labour voters would support".
Labour Peer Admiral Lord West of Spithead said: "Singing the national anthem is a sign of loyalty to the United Kingdom and British people. I cannot believe that the people of our great nation could contemplate a prime minister who lacks that loyalty."
A member of Mr Corbyn's shadow cabinet, Owen Smith, said he would have advised Mr Corbyn to sing the national anthem "irrespective of his views" about the monarchy.
The shadow work and pensions secretary told BBC Two's Newsnight the matter had been "blown out of all proportion" and is a "low order" issue compared to the refugee crisis and the debate over the future of the welfare state.
What to expect at PMQs?published at 08:05
Image source, PAAt noon in the House of Commons Jeremy Corbyn gets his first chance - after 32 years - to take centre stage in the bearpit that is Prime Minister's Questions.
Uniquely, in the democratic world, Britain's political leaders have to face a baying mob of their opponents every week, as they debate questions on every conceivable issue. They all hate it. They all fear it. But even those like Tony Blair and David Cameron, who have questioned the point of having to take part in a weekly pantomime, or Punch and Judy show, admit that it serves a purpose.
It keeps them honest. Rightly or wrongly, the half-hour session at mid-day on a Wednesday, when the Commons is sitting, is seen as a test of a leader's ability to lead. As Leader of the Opposition, Jeremy Corbyn will get six questions to the prime minister in which to make his mark.

Good morningpublished at 08:00
Hello and welcome to Jeremy Corbyn as Labour leader: Day 4. It's been. to say the least, a fairly newsworthy start for the left-wing long-time backbencher who stormed to victory in the leadership contest on Saturday. And today is the biggest moment of the lot - taking centre stage at Prime Minister's Questions.
