Liberal Democrat Brexit spokesman Tom Brake says Sir Keir Starmer "happily condemns the Tories for a lack of vision on Brexit, but the reality is Labour is just as clueless".

He adds: “It is misleading for him to pretend that some new customs arrangement can be reached which doesn’t cause massive disruption to British trade.

“Instead of joining the Tories in the land of fairy tales, Labour should be fighting with the Liberal Democrats to maintain membership of the single market and customs union.

"There would be a parliamentary majority if Corbyn and his comrades got off the fence."

I promise, I'm not going to explain the rules and regulations of Labour conference procedure. There has probably been more than enough of that already.

What the shenanigans over a debate at Labour conference on the contentious issues around Brexit really shows us is who has the whip-hand now in the party.

The Corbyn-backing campaign group Momentum organised its members to choose subjects other than Brexit to be debated fully at the conference this week. It wasn't directly snuffed out by the leadership, it was a vote of delegates, but they act to protect their political hero.

The bid to get attention from the floor extends to holding up a portrait of Jeremy Corbyn, with added tinsel halo.

It attracts the attention of the TV cameras, anyway.

Dave Prentis, general secretary of Unison, welcomes Labour's commitment to end the public sector pay cap but wants to go further.

He calls for "above-inflation pay rises for all public sector workers every year, until pay is back to the level it was before the Tories strangled our public services".

He adds: "Better pay means better public services."

Emily Thornberry mocks the foreign secretary, claiming he is not happy with some of the "broken promises of the Leave campaign".

Len McCluskey ends his speech by adapting the words of socialist anthem the Red Flag, the traditional closing song at Labour conferences.

"Though cowards flinch and traitors sneer, we'll keep the Corbyn flag flying here!" the Unite leader cries.

Debate now moves to the economy. Shadow chancellor John McDonnell is at the top table.

The first speaker is Len McCluskey, the leader of trade union Unite and a supporter of Corbyn, who gets a standing ovation in the hall.

He begins by praising Labour's general election manifesto, saying it showed "politics can be important, that political parties aren't all just the same".

And he says that Unite was "proud" to stand by Jeremy Corbyn "when others panicked".

"There is nothing patriotic about joy-riding our economy off a cliff," Sir Keir Starmer says.

Labour's policy is that a transition period - and remaining in the customs union and single market during that period - is "in the national interest", he tells conference.

The shadow Brexit secretary says the government has finally backed Labour's policy of a transitional period but adds: "Let's see if that survives contact with the Tory conference next week."

And he indicates that remaining in a customs union "is a possible end destination for Labour".

Labour could also back remaining in the single market or "a bespoke trade deal", Sir Keir says - whichever gives the best outcome.

Now it's the turn of Sir Keir Starmer, shadow secretary of state for exiting the European Union.

He says the election result left "a broken government, too weak to govern, too divided to negotiate Brexit".

And he attacks former PM David Cameron, "who recklessly gambled this country because he couldn't hold his party together".

He accuses Borish Johnson of being "ruthless about his own ambition, reckless about our country", and Theresa May of being focused on her own survival.

Jeremy Corbyn has been rallying delegates from Wales at the Labour conference in Brighton.

There is applause for Emily Thornberry when she says a future Labour government would review arms exports.

She says the last Labour government was guilty of "over-promising and under-delivering" on foreign policy.

The shadow foreign secretary pledges that a future Labour government would "put the interests of the rich and powerful above human rights".

Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry says we face "the biggest challenge to the world order since the 1930s and the collapse of the League of Nations".

She argues: "We need our leaders to stand up for that world order, to stand up for human rights and international treaties."

Ms Thornberry says US President Donald Trump's words and behaviour are "not what we expect from the leader of the free world" but more like those of "a rogue dictator".

And she attacks Theresa May for "walking hand in hand with Trump" and says the UK government's attitude to the US President is "supine, sycophantic and spineless".

Shadow foreign secretary Emily Thornberry welcomes the "strong voice" that delegates have had in the debate.

She says shadow international development secretary Kate Osamor and shadow defence secretary Nia Griffith have agreed not to speak in order to allow more time for party members.

Last week, Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn indicated that some frontbenchers were unhappy at having their speeches cut.

Ms Thornberry also jokes about "a little bit of high-fiving that went wrong" on election night - but praises Mr Corbyn as "a person of principle" who will reach Downing Street and "put Labour back into power".

Thomas Haynes says that the EU has kept nations that "spent six years trying to tear each other's throats out working together" after 1945.

He says he still believes remaining in the EU is "the best thing for this country".

To those who rule out a second referendum, he says that devolution plans for Scotland and Wales were rejected in referendums, before successful public votes to approve them took place under a Labour government.
