Jeremy Corbyn delivered his leader's speech to close the conference
Labour leader said the party can 'climb an electoral mountain' and win
He said there will be 'no false promises' on migration
Andy Burnham said Labour needs to understand voters' immigration concerns
The Labour leader says more people have joined Labour in the last 20 months than joined in the previous 20 years.
Labour is now the largest party in western Europe, he adds, and "each and every" new member is welcome.
Welcoming back the Fire Brigades Union, who have re-affiliated to Labour, he says:
Quote MessageWe are reuniting the Labour family."
Jeremy Corbyn says "misogyny and anti-Semitism" on social media is "utterly unacceptable".
Labour will act against abuse and he adds: "Anti-Semitism is an evil."
Labour will "fight against prejudice and hatred of Jewish people with every breath in our body" he says.
Paying tribute to Labour MP Jo Cox, Jeremy Corbyn says: "Jo Cox didn't just believe in loving her neightbour. She believed in loving her neighbour's neightbour and that every life mattered."
He also pays tribute to the late MPs Michael Meacher and Harry Harpham.
And the Labour leader has another tribute, to MPs who joined the shadow cabinet after the summer's mass resignations in protest at his leadership.
"They stepped up when their party and their country needed them to serve," he says, adding that those MPs are "our future".

The audience enjoyed the Virgin Trains joke
Jeremy Corbyn jokes to the "packed" conference venue that he had a message from Virgin Trains.
Quote MessageThey have assured me there are 800 empty seats in the hall."
Jeremy Corbyn arrives on stage to a standing ovation, giving the crowd a thumbs up. "Jez we can!" shout some.
"This hall is absolutely packed here in Liverpool," he says, adding there is even an overspill room down the road (presumably a reference to the Momentum gathering also taking place in the City).
He thanks party members and staff.

The former foreign and home secretary, Jack Straw, has said "there has to be a limit" on immigration.
Speaking on the BBC News Channel, Mr Straw said that while the UK benefits from some increase in population, the rise had been "too fast".
He repeated his assessment that the Labour government in which he served had made a "spectacular mistake" by waiving restrictions on migration from Poland and other eastern European countries in 2004.
Mr Straw said the "facts have changed and we have to take account of that".
He also praised as "very sensible" the approach taken by Andy Burnham as shadow home secretary.

Jeremy Corbyn had a wave for the cameras as he entered the conference centre ahead of the big speech a little earlier.
"I'm election fatigued," shadow education secretary Angela Rayner tells the Daily Politics conference special.
"We just want a bit of stability."
She thinks "the nation are willing us" to pull together and provide effective opposition to the Conservatives.
She concedes that "Jeremy Corbyn needs to prove himself to the public, there's no question of that" - but she hopes the Labour "summer of discontent" is now over.
Image source, PAMalia Bouattia, president of the National Union of Students, has made a statement responding to accusations of "anti-Semitic rhetoric".
Ms Bouattia was widely criticised when she described Birmingham University as "something of a Zionist outpost" in an article she co-authored five years ago.
She has denied the accusation of anti-Semitism, saying her criticism of Zionism and the state of Israel is "political argument, not one of faith or ethnic identity".
Quote MessageI support my colleagues in the NUS leadership in calling for assurances that Jewish students will be safe on campus and I will do everything in my power to ensure that is the case. My priorities for the year ahead include a focus on inclusion, tackling hate crime on campuses and ensuring that all marginalised and oppressed groups feel safe in the movement. I look forward to working with my officers and NEC colleagues to continue to listen to Jewish students and support them in being part of NUS."

Leading figures in student politics have accused the NUS president, Malia Bouattia, of anti-Semitic rhetoric.
In a letter given to the World at One, three vice presidents of the National Union of Students and 41 other student leaders said: "Jewish students have not felt safe participating in our national movement, because of the actions and rhetoric of the leadership of the NUS".
Richard Brooks is the NUS's Vice President for Union Development, and a lead signatory of the letter. He told the World at One: "It is for Jewish students to define what anti-Semitism is.
"When a number of Jewish students over a consistent period of time say they do not feel safe participating in student politics and in the student movement, I think that's something we have to take really seriously and listen to."
Quote MessageThe progressive part of society I think has a really big problem in terms of anti-Semitism, and being able to identify it within itself. Until we get to the point where we all acknowledge there may be a problem here, I don't think we're going to be able to address it."

The government's defence for not involving Parliament in the decision to trigger Article 50 has been published as the result of a legal challenge by the People's Challenge group.
The documents show that the secretary of state for exiting the European Union argued it would be "constitutionally proper to give effect to the referendum result by the use of prerogative powers" - without a vote in Parliament.
He argued: "It was clearly understood that the government would give effect to the result of the referendum for which the 2015 Act provided and that was the basis on which the electorate voted in the referendum."
The case set out in the documents shows the government believes "the decision to withdraw from the EU is not justiciable... it is a matter of the highest policy reserved to the Crown".
The government said it would be "constitutionally impermissable" for the court to compel the secretary of state to introduce legislation into Parliament to give effect to the outcome of the referendum as "the court would be trespassing on proceedings in Parliament". It said that for the Crown to use its prerogative power to invoke Article 50 was "consistent with domestic constitutional law".
