    Jeremy Corbyn's sensational Labour leadership win had more to do with a "yearning" for something different than his own qualities, an MP has said. Sir Keir Starmer joked that the new Labour leader was "not the Messiah". Labour had to seize the opportunity of the flood of new supporters Mr Corbyn had attracted to the party, he argued. But unless it developed "radical" new policies that were not just anti-austerity it would lose the next general election, he warned.

    Jeremy Corbyn has been asked whether his speech was "old", after it was revealed some sections were first written in 2011 and offered to Ed Miliband.

    "No, no, no, no - this was a new, modern, totally up to date speech," he replied, adding: "Why are you media so cynical? 

    "This was new ideas about a new way of doing politics, where we involve people, we treat people with respect and that's different. Thank you."

    The Bank of England governor has given a stark warning that climate change poses a huge risk to global stability.

    At a gathering of leading insurers at Lloyd's of London, Mark Carney pointed out the rapid increase in weather-related catastrophes and the jump in both the physical and financial costs.

    He said the challenges currently posed by climate change "pale in significance compared with what might come".

    Quote Message

    Despite all of the rhetoric in Mr Corbyn's speech, Labour have already reaffirmed their support for George Osborne's fiscal plans, and also their support for renewing Trident, which shows they are still running scared of the Tories. Jeremy Corbyn promised to radically change Labour, but the evidence so far is that Labour is changing Jeremy Corbyn."
