    Andy Burnham says rejoining the EU among all ‘the options’ being considered – UK politics live (opens the original)

    Good morning. Andy Burnham’s speech is getting a mixed review in the papers, but there is general consensus that it is a consequential one – not one that we will have forgotten within a fortnight or so, but one that will make the next list of all-time important Labour conference speeches of the last 50 years. If you are still catching up, here are three good places to start. Pippa Crerar’s overnight splash for the Guardian. The conference wraps up today, with four cabinet ministers speakin

    Burnham says he would put PR in Labour manifesto and scrap triple lock to fund social care – UK politics live (opens the original)

    Read excerpt

    Party conference speeches by a leader are rather weird and antiquated constructions. There is almost no other time in the year when a PM, or an opposition leader, gives a speech uninterrupted for an hour or so. Some are great, some are mediocre, but normally even the better speakers tend to lose the audience halfway through as they rattle through second-order issues included to keep an interest group happy.

    Good morning, and welcome to coverage of the Labour party conference. Or the Hope Again conference, as it is being billed here in Liverpool. As a good Catholic, Andy Burnham (probably) believes in the resurrection and, since he has become prime minister, his party has certainly staged a miraculous recovery. When it met in this city a year ago (at a conference which ended with Burnham’s leadership ambitions becoming the subject of mild mockery from the Starmerites, and much of the media), Labour

    Home Office orders review after two small boats reach Kent without being intercepted – UK politics live (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Not every migrant boat can be intercepted, a cabinet minister has suggested, after two uncontrolled landings from the Channel in two days. The Press Association says Lucy Powell, the education secretary, said “(you) can’t stop everything all of the time”, the day after 21 people were detained when a boat evaded Border Force to reach the beach of Samphire Hoe in Dover. PA reports: Shabana Mahmood, the home secretary, who has ordered an urgent review by the Border Security Command, said the
