Labour needs to develop a "radical ambitious project" or it will lose the 2020 election, condemning the country to 10 years of Tory rule, Keir Starmer, newly elected Labour MP, has told an IPPR fringe meeting. Jeremy Corbyn had tapped into a seam of disillusionment with mainstream politics among Labour members and a "yearning for something else" - but he was "not the Messiah", he said. Getting a crowd to cheer was "not a test of leadership," he added.

• Mr Corbyn, who was elected Labour leader by a huge margin on 12 September, told voters they don't have to accept that inequality and injustice are inevitable - and things "can and must change"
• Earlier in the day, Labour activists voted to officially back rail nationalisation as party policy at their conference
• Shadow energy secretary Lisa Nandy said Labour wants to "democratise rather than nationalise" the UK's energy market, and every community in the country should be able to own their own clean energy power station
• Labour's environment spokeswoman Kerry McCarthy said she wholeheartedly backs British farmers, acknowledging that some people were "worried" about her appointment because she was a vegan

Deputy Labour leader Tom Watson says Jeremy Corbyn had a "tough challenge" today but gave "a good account of himself". He describes the Labour leader as a "principled man" with a clear vision for Labour's future. He's a "great antidote to the politics of spin", Mr Watson adds.

Asked if there's a danger of policy paralysis under Mr Corbyn, Mr Watson says "it's early days", and adds: "Give him a little bit of time."

How will Labour pay for its policy promises? Mr Watson says the party is in its early stage and is setting out its direction of travel at the moment, rather than putting a "price tag" on things.

Downing Street has responded to Jeremy Corbyn's calls for it to come to the aid of steel workers facing job losses at Redcar steel plant in Teesside.

A spokesman for No 10 said ministers were working to help those who will lose their jobs at the plant. He added that it was not clear what the Labour leader was suggesting the government should do.

Jeremy Corbyn has given his first party conference speech as Labour Party leader. What were the key passages and what message was he trying to get across?  Over to BBC political reporter Gavin Stamp.

Crowds of Jeremy Corbyn worshippers were turned away from an overflowing anti-austerity rally at the Quaker Meeting House in Brighton on Monday night.

In the end, the man himself did not appear, but they stuck around anyway to witness a display of the kind of old-time socialist religion that was meant to have died out with the advent of Tony Blair.

Impromptu speeches by trade union leaders on the steps of the meeting house, to the distant sound of wild cheering and applause from the hall. Calls for unity and solidarity. Warnings about establishment conspiracies.

This was the kind of politics that you don't see on television any more.

Carry on reading.

Conference speeches like this are one of the very few opportunities that opposition leaders have not just to display their agenda, but to connect to the wider public, whose votes they ultimately need.

Team Corbyn created the expectation that he would play to this, extol his love of British values, his belief that the majority agrees with him. He did, up to a point.

But here, there was a conflict in his speech. It was the speech of an activist, a protestor, Jeremy Corbyn the campaigner, a list of the causes he passionately believes in, not a programme for government.

If you didn't catch Jeremy Corbyn's speech, his first since becoming Labour leader, here's a flavour of what he told party members and activists in Brighton.

He said British voters didn't have to accept that inequality and injustice are inevitable - and things "can and must change". Mr Corbyn vowed to create a "kinder politics, a more caring society".

But he also attacked David Cameron's "shocking broken promises" and said Labour would "challenge austerity". And he restated his belief in getting rid of Britain's nuclear weapons.

Here's our full story.

Kate Hudson, CND general secretary, says "Jeremy Corbyn made clear that he has a mandate to take forward his opposition to Trident", adding:

Jeremy Corbyn’s speech was 7,159 words long and printed on 26 pages. It lasted for 59 minutes. Key themes included “people” and “security”, as the word cloud demonstrates.

There was only one mention of the general election, in a thank you to party staff. Mr Corbyn did not mention the fact that Labour lost.    

The Institute of Directors says there "was not much space for business" in Jeremy Corbyn's speech, and notes his "largely pessimistic tone" on the economy. Director general Simon Walker said the IoD would have liked to have seen more acknowledgement of the private secctor's role in job creation and economic growth.

What would chime with business, he adds, is Mr Corbyn's call for better broadband infrastructure and house building. But until the party sets out more details on its policies "it will be hard to judge whether he has credible solutions to the problems".
