  3. In quotes: Labour's Brexit stancepublished at 13:29 BST 26 September 2018

    What did the Labour leader say about Brexit?

    Quote Message

    As it stands, Labour will vote against the Chequers plan or whatever is left of it and oppose leaving the EU with no deal. And it is inconceivable that we should crash out of Europe with no deal - that would be a national disaster. That is why if Parliament votes down a Tory deal or the government fails to reach any deal at all we would press for a General Election. Failing that, all options are on the table.

    Jeremy Corbyn

  5. Jeremy Corbyn: 'Labour supports a secure Israel and Palestinian state'published at 13:24 BST 26 September 2018

    Labour leader's speech

    Jeremy Corbyn says Labour is united in condemning the shooting of hundreds of unarmed demonstrators in Gaza by Israeli forces and the passing of Israel’s Nation-State Law.

    "The continuing occupation, the expansion of illegal settlements and the imprisonment of Palestinian children are an outrage."

    He says the Labour party supports a two-state solution to the conflict with "a secure Israel and a viable and secure Palestinian state".

    "We will recognise a Palestinian state as soon as we take office."

    The Labour leader also pledges to make a "more determined effort" to bring the war in Syria to an end.

  6. 'Labour will speak for democratic values and human rights'published at 13:18 BST 26 September 2018

    Labour leader's speech

    Jeremy Corbyn says that President Trump is "turning his back on international cooperation and even international law" when he takes the United States out of the Paris accords, tries to scrap the Iran nuclear deal, moves the US embassy to Jerusalem and pursues aggressive nationalism and trade wars.

    He says a British government that can "not only keep the country safe, but can also speak out for democratic values and human rights" is needed.

    "Labour’s foreign policy will be driven by progressive values and international solidarity."

    Referencing Iraq and Libya, Jeremy Corbyn promises "no more reckless wars of intervention".
