Ahead of Theresa May's speech to the UN summit on the refugee crisis, Labour MP Yvette Cooper has accused the PM of "not doing enough" and calls for child refugees with families in the UK to be reunited with them.

Ms Cooper, who chairs Labour’s Refugee Taskforce, said: "The UN summit needs to agree co-ordinated action across the globe to tackle the refugee crisis – including aid, schooling for refugee children, police action and border checks to stop smuggler gangs and more safe routes to sanctuary - including family reunion.

“This will be a terrible missed opportunity if we don’t get strong international action - and if Britain doesn’t show the leadership needed."

Scottish Liberal Democrat leader Willie Rennie tells conference that the party "will oppose independence and we will support strong relationships with Europe". He backs UK party leader Tim Farron's position that voters should "have the final say" on any Brexit deal.

He accuses Scottish First Minister Nicola Sturgeon of seeking to "compound" withdrawal from the EU "by withdrawing from our biggest market: the UK".

Mr Rennie says the EU referendum was an "arrogant misjudgement" by the Conservatives which "has put further strains on the unity of the United Kingdom".

He labels the SNP and the Tories "the terrible twins of divisive politics".

Former Lib Dem MP and cabinet minister Sir Vince Cable has spoken against another EU referendum, saying it would be "utterly counter-productive" and disrespectful to voters.

At a lunchtime fringe meeting at his party's conference, Sir Vince said that there are many Lib Dems "who don't accept the outcome, who feel incredibly angry about it, who feel it's reversible and feeling the public got it wrong".

But he added: "We should never have had the referendum in the first place, there are a whole series of blunders which led to this - but the public have voted."

Speaking to BBC Radio 4's the World at One, former Tory minister Sir Oliver Letwin says he wasn't expecting a majority Conservative government to be elected in 2015 following five years of coalition with the Lib Dems.

"I had several coalition agreements on my Blackberry," he says, but no Queen's Speech for a majority Conservative government prepared.

Reflecting on this year's EU referendum result, he says that many young people who supported Remain may have thought "that if they had a view that was enough" and they didn't actually have to go out and vote.

The lesson learned should be "you have to vote", Sir Oliver argues.
