    Founder of the pro-Corbyn movement Momentum Jon Lansman says "the task now is to get people out there converting people" and explain why Jeremy Corbyn can help "meet aspirations". 

    It's "unfair" to say Corbyn supporters restrict their campaigning to online activities, he insists, and he wants the party "to appeal to a very broad range of people" including those who voted to leave the EU.

    He argues the party was "too inward-looking" in focusing on the leadership, and it's important not to "box him in in a shadow cabinet he can't decide". 

  3. Janoathan Reynolds on return to frontbenchpublished at 13:33 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    There has been talk about Jonathan Reynolds - who quit the front bench earlier this year - having agreed to return to the Labour frontbench. In a statement he says:

    Quote Message

    With regard to some of the speculation there has been at Conference, I have indicated a willingness to work with Jeremy and I am talking to his office about that. But any appointments are for him to make in due course. I may not agree with Jeremy on everything, but I firmly agree we are one Labour family. Especially in the aftermath of the country's vote for Brexit, the focus must now firmly be on holding this damaging Tory government to account.”

    Deputy political editor Jon Pienaar says this conference will be remembered as the "time and place where Jeremy Corbyn secured his ownership of the Labour Party - but ownership is not the same as control".

    He predicts "a continuing battle" over who holds seats on the NEC, and its future will be "very finely balanced".

  8. Delegates praise Sadiq Khan's 'rallying call'published at 13:15 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    Sadiq Khan

    People streaming out of the hall have been giving their views on Sadiq Khan’s speech. 

    Martin Hodges says it was a “good rallying call which went down very well” and hopes the message about the importance of being in power to get things done “will be carried through”. 

    Aaron Rice says it was an “inspirational” address and it was “good to hear from someone who is actually in power for Labour”. 

    But one other delegate says that while she enjoyed the speech, it had a “pretty unhelpful subtext” that some in Labour would rather be sitting on the sidelines than making decisions.

  9. Explaining the proposed Labour Party Scotland/Wales reformspublished at 13:12 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    Nick Eardley
    BBC Scotland Westminster correspondent

    This reform package is wide-ranging. It will give the parties in Scotland and Wales the ability to set all their own policy and control over the selection of candidates. These elements are uncontroversial.

    But a row has been running for days on whether the leaders in Scotland and Wales should be able to appoint someone to the UK NEC. This goes to the heart of the power struggle in the Labour Party.

    Jeremy Corbyn’s supporters are worried it could mean their ability to push through changes on the executive is threatened. So they’ve been trying to remove that part of the package. But they’ve been unsuccessful. The reforms will go before the conference as one package – and it looks highly likely they’ll now pass.

  13. 'Labour out of power will never ever be good enough' - Khanpublished at 12:59 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    Sadiq Khan

    Sadiq Khan's message to the party is "it's time we put Labour back in power". He says

    Quote Message

    Labour out of power will never ever be good enough. We can only improve lives with Labour in power. By winning elections, by putting Labour values into action every day. Real Labour values: equality, social justice and opportunities for all. It's only with Labour in power can we create a fairer, more equal and more just Britain. And when Labour’s not in power, we fail the very people who need us most."

    The London mayor's speech has gone down well in the audience, which rises to its feet to applaud. For the stats lovers amongst you, we make it that Mr Khan used word "power" 38 times.

    Addressing conference, London Mayor Sadiq Khan says:

    Quote Message

    Labour is not in power in the place that we can have the biggest impact on our country: in Parliament. It's in government that Labour can make the biggest changes to people's lives, and every day now we see what happens when Labour’s not in power."

    He cites the government's grammar schools plans as an example and criticises the government for having "no plan for leaving the EU".

  18. Sadiq Khan: Change is only possible if Labour is in powerpublished at 12:52 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    Sadiq Khan

    Sadiq Khan says Labour is in power in towns and cities the length and breadth of Britain - and praises all those in the Labour movement who have helped to make it happen.

    "It's only when Labour is in power that we get the chance to fix the problems we care most about," he says, such as housing, air quality and pollution and social integration.

    He says the EU referendum campaign was "divisive and bruising", and claims the future of EU citizens living in the UK is being used as "a bargaining chip" by the government.

    "The government should be ashamed," he says, adding that EU citizens "are welcome here".

  19. Khan congratulates Corbyn on his election victorypublished at 12:45 British Summer Time 27 September 2016

    He adds: 

    Quote Message

    After the election this summer the leadership of our party has now been decided and I congratulate Jeremy on his clear victory. Now it's time for us to work together towards the greatest prize: getting Labour back to power."
