Shadow chancellor John McDonnell: Labour will back Osborne’s fiscal charter

Shadow foreign secretary Hilary Benn and shadow justice secretary Lord Falconer have both spoken out against abandoning the UK’s nuclear capability, and Mr Corbyn said: “We are going to come to an accommodation of some sort”. For six decades, British governments have considered unilateral nuclear disarmament unthinkable – but the once-unthinkable is the Labour Party’s new normal.

John McTernan, a former aide to Prime Minister Tony Blair, argued that nuclear weapons are “deeply and broadly supported” by British voters.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn is facing a party split over renewing the Trident nuclear deterrent.

She said: “We are setting up a task force to look at exactly how we best implement that policy and we welcome submissions and evidence from everybody involved in the rail industry and those who are interested including local government“.

For others, most notably a majority of the party’s MPs, they need to be courageous in this new world, for the party’s leader, Jeremy Corbyn, wants to change their minds on national security, on the economy, and on the way to win.

“After September 11, the claims that bin Laden and al-Qaida had committed the atrocity were quickly and loudly made”. If it fails, it will put the party at odds with the leader.

Mr Corbyn readily admitted there are divisions in Labour – including in the shadow cabinet – over some policies. This month Labour elected Corbyn, a 66-year-old backbench lawmaker who promises to combine old-school socialism with a new style of politics.

After he held a crunch meeting with senior trade union leaders in Brighton, it emerged that some of Britain’s biggest unions will vote to keep Trident to protect their members’ jobs.

Besides attacks from opponents of his left-wing policies, Mr Corbyn faces the prospect of defeat on Trident this week and is under fire over his failure to promote women to top jobs.

He said there may be a “difference of opinion” within the Labour front bench when Parliament votes over the renewal of Trident.

The leader said he wants to alter the way Labour decides its policies, allowing more direct involvement with rank-and-file supporters and diluting the power of the party’s parliamentarians.

“We have got elections in the offing in May, very important elections, and we are going to have many more rounds before the general election”. “Let us make it clear that Labour will never make the same mistake again, will never flout the United Nations and global law”. That, I think, can and will change.

He said: “There is a democratic process in the party and that can be operated at any time”. The issue is set to be debated at the Scottish conference too.

“There has to be a political solution that’s got to involve Iran and all the neighbouring countries…Iran can be part of the political solution in the whole region”, said Corbyn in an interview with with the BBC.
