Jeremy Corbyn says Labour membership is growing quickly. He says he hopes to get it up to half a million, and points out that party membership all over Europe has been falling, not rising.
Jeremy Corbyn makes it clear he is not backing down on scrapping Britain's nuclear weapons. But he concedes there could end up being a "difference of opinion" with senior members of the shadow cabinet. "Watch this space" is all will say about how it will be resolved.
Of shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn's differing view on Trident, Mr Corbyn says "we are going to come to an accommodation of sorts". Marr asks whether it is conceivable that the leader of the Labour party votes one way and the shadow foreign secretary votes the other. "I shall do my persuasive best to bring them round to my point of view," Mr Corbyn replies.
Jeremy Corbyn kicks off his Marr interview by setting out his plans to create a "big, open democratic party" with more say for ordinary members in policy making.
UKIP leader Nigel Farage has just been on Marr, telling him the party is "getting cracking" with the EU referendum campaign. He says 300 public engagements are planned, with record crowds coming. He says he wants to join forces with Leave.eu, which is backed by UKIP donor Aron Banks, who have "clearly got money".
Asked whether he would consider supporting the rival 'no' campaign group - Business for Britain - which has the backing of UKIP's only MP, Douglas Carswell, he says Mr Carswell is in Westminster and is "part of a committee of Westminster MPs". He says he objects to "soft" Conservative euro-sceptics who say let's wait until the PM gets back from Brussels, by which time he will have "set his own agenda".

Conversation turns to last night's nail-biting rugby match which saw Wales beat England. Marr says the tournament has produced one photo-finish after the next. A photo in the newspapers of Prince Harry, who supported England, glaring at a jubilant Prince William, in a Wales shirt, draws the paper reviewers' attention.

A look at the papers first with Tom Newton Dunn, political editor of the Sun, and Ayesha Hazarika, Harriet Harman's former chief of staff. Newton Dunn says the biggest moments of conference will be the Trident vote and what Jeremy Corbyn says and doesn't say in 20 minutes' time when he speaks. "It's a fascinating conference - we don't know what's going to happen. We haven't got a clue."

Our political editor Laura Kuenssberg is looking ahead to the conference and says the first priority for Team Corbyn will be to avoid any mishaps.
"For party conferences are strange, intense, microclimates where the what is said on the stage, however carefully crafted or considered, can be subsumed by our old friends, "events", however silly," she writes.
Jeremy Corbyn pulled out of the first interview he had scheduled with Andrew Marr, on the day after his stunning leadership victory. He opted to visit a mental health fun day in his constituency instead, which was seen as a sign of his new approach to politics or not living up to his new responsibilities, depending on your point of view. He's sure to be asked about his new style of leadership by Andrew Marr, along with the other big issues set to dominate this conference such as Trident and the deficit.
