That's it from the conference hall for today.
Delegates will reconvene on Wednesday morning, when the main event will be leader Jeremy Corbyn's keynote address.
Delegates approve the motions from the afternoon's debates, including those on health and social care and on housing.
The FBU's motion on Grenfell Tower also gets approval, as does the motion on rail services.
Tom Watson finishes his speech and Jeremy Corbyn invites the shadow cabinet up on stage where there are hugs all round.
Tom Watson began his speech by recalling Machiavelli's view that it was better to be feared than to be loved.
Concluding his speech, he says "Britain has run out of patience with the tinpot Machiavellis".
He adds: "Conference, Britain is ready for Labour.
"Love wins and so will we."
He ends to applause and a comradely hug from leader Jeremy Corbyn.
"Murdoch’s papers did their best to start a Tory landslide," Tom Watson says.
"They threw the kitchen sink at Jeremy. But this time the dirty tricks didn’t work."
Recalling the paper's claim about its role in the Tories' 1992 election victory, Mr Watson says: "This time it was not the Sun wot won it.
"And let me tell you, conference: it never will be the Sun wot won it again."
"Let’s extend employment rights to all workers in the gig economy - the self-employed, agency workers and contractors as well as the traditionally employed," Tom Watson says.
"Let’s stop dancing on the head of a legalistic pin about when is a job not a job and when is self-employed not really self-employed.
"It’s a fake fight which big business always wins and Tory governments love to hide behind.
"So let’s put an end to all that and just give rights to people."
Tom Watson says that Transport for London, who have declined to renew Uber's licence in the UK capital, is simply telling the company that "it has to follow the same rules as everyone else".
He says the firm "can run its mini-cab service, as long as they respect our rules".
"Treat your customers with respect and keep them safe, like everyone else has to. And then you’ll be welcome to make money in London."
He adds: "Uber, you’re becoming the perfect picture of how the future gig economy must not look."
Tom Watson announces that a Labour government would carry out a "thorough review" of the extent of gambling addiction and the treatment available for it.
"Addicts must be given the help they need," he says.
"Gambling addiction is an illness and it's about time that it was taken seriously."
And Mr Watson, who is shadow culture, media and sport secretary as well as deputy leader, adds that Labour would also ban football clubs from "signing shirt sponsorship deals with betting companies" if the clubs do not act themselves.
Tom Watson says the Conservatives have traded on fear but recalls hearing a crowd sing "Oh, Jeremy Corbyn!" at Glastonbury this year.
"It is better to be loved than feared," Labour's deputy leader says.
"Jeremy showed us that it's possible."
Deputy leader Tom Watson begins his speech with a tribute to two of Britain's "finest working class actors" - and Labour supporters - Liz Dawn and Tony Booth, who have died.
He then mocks Theresa May's Florence speech on Brexit, delivered, he says, in "the city of Niccolo Machiavelli".
He adds: "I can only assume that Michael Gove picked the venue."
The shadow housing secretary, John Healey, promises that Labour will "not rest" until all Grenfell survivors get the help they need and a new home.
Mr Healey says that when he challenges ministers over Grenfell they tell him not to "play politics" with the tragedy.
"But it's precisely the decisions of those in power that the survivors of this terrible tragedy want to see challenged," he says,
And he concludes: "Conference, things must change. Grenfell will change nothing without a change of government."

Tosh McDonald, the president of train drivers' union Aslef, expresses solidarity with emergency workers who come to the aid of transport staff at times of crisis.
"It's shocking the way that their pay and living standards are being attacked," he says.
Mr McDonald, who's also a member of Doncaster Labour Party, says his county is "once again the people's republic of South Yorkshire".
He declares: "Every seat is red."
"As a resident of Kensington and Chelsea for 30 years, I can stand here boldly and say the Conservative Party caused nothing but pain and destruction to our residents and they need to be removed," says delegate Portia Thaxter.
"This brutal, inhumane treatment emerged from the inequality that ethnic minorities face within our society."
She says she lost four friends in the Grenfell Tower fire, while a further two friends survived.
Despite her harsh words for local politicians, she says "a collaborative approach" is now needed with the authorities and the local community.
Society must learn from the disaster, Ms Thaxter adds.
Conference delegates give an ovation to Fire Brigades Union leader Matt Wrack's speech about the Grenfell fire and the role of firefighters.
Judy Billing from the Association of Labour Councillors follows him, joking: "That's the most fantastic ovation I've ever got."
During an afternoon round of media interviews, Jeremy Corbyn has played down the prospect of Labour offering a referendum on a final Brexit deal.
London's Evening Standard reported that mayor Sadiq Khan, external said a second referendum could be a "possible" inclusion in the party's next manifesto.
Former Scottish Labour leader Kezia Dugdale said that "we the people should take back control with a final vote on the deal" and Mr Khan received support from London Labour MP David Lammy on Twitter., external
But Mr Corbyn told Sky News: "We are not planning any referendum. Sadiq is obviously thinking through all scenarios and possibilities.
"He represents a city which overwhelmingly voted for Remain. As you know, the referendum result across the country was a majority to leave."
And he told Channel 5 News that there can be "positives" from Brexit: "I wouldn't go so far as to say that it is all going to be positive. It is going to be difficult and complicated. But there are positives there."
Liberal Democrat Brexit spokesman Tom Brake has said he welcomes "signs from top Labour people that they are willing to join the Liberal Democrats in giving the people a referendum on the facts, at the end of the Brexit process".
He added: “An exit from Brexit is still possible, and only by working across party lines can we make that happen.
“Corbyn and the Labour leadership must stop dithering and join our call to ensure that the people, not politicians, have the final say over the future of their country.”
However, after the Labour leader dismissed suggestions of another EU referendum, the Lib Dem press office was less impressed.

Shadow health minister Barbara Keeley replies to the health and social care debate.
She says a crisis in social care and mental health care is "a crisis made in Downing Street".
Carers are overworked, underpaid and often on zero-hours contracts, Ms Keeley tells delegates, while people are turned away from mental health services.
She condemns the so-called "dementia tax" - the Conservatives' manifesto policy proposal on social care funding - but adds that the government has "nothing to say" now that it has retreated from the policy.
