\n<\/strong>The Guardian <\/em>reports<\/a> that the theme of Jeremy Corbyn\u2019s speech to conference today will be an attack on \u2018greed-is-good\u2019 capitalism, setting out policies to reach areas which he argues have been left behind. Measures he will reveal include a \u2018green jobs revolution\u2019 and the extension of free childcare to more families.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Times<\/em> has more details<\/a> of what it calls \u2018Corbyn\u2019s green revolution\u2019. He will pledge to reduce net carbon emissions to zero by 2050, scrap planning restrictions on wind farms, increase public subsidy for renewable energy, use public spending to improve domestic energy efficiency and compel landlords to make similar changes. He will claim that these plans would result in 400,000 new jobs.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>According<\/a> to the Financial Times<\/em>, Shadow Brexit Secretary Keir Starmer won a standing ovation at conference yesterday when he told delegates that Labour had not ruled out holding another referendum on the UK\u2019s membership of the EU. His comments that \u2018nobody is ruling out Remain as an option\u2019 were not in the version of his speech originally circulated to journalists, suggesting that he may have been defying the leadership.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Guardian<\/em> are reporting<\/a> that Labour will extend the current programme of 30 hours of free childcare to benefit over a million extra children. Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn will announce today in his speech that under Labour, the scheme would cover all parents of children between the ages of two and four. Corbyn will also commit to additional subsidised hours for families on the lowest incomes.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Telegraph<\/em> have picked up<\/a> on comments made by Unite boss Len McCluskey, in which he said Labour had adopted the IHRA definition on anti-Semitism to stop attacks on their leader. In a speech at Labour conference, McCluskey compared the recent scandal to the \u2018Charge of the Light Brigade\u2019, and said that events had strengthened the Palestinian cause.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The Daily Mirror<\/em> says<\/a> that Shadow Foreign Secretary Emily Thornberry used her conference speech to compare anti-Semites in the party to Oswald Mosley. She said that while \u2018we all support the Palestinian cause\u2019 there are members who use it as \u2018a cover for their despicable hatred of Jewish people\u2019, and they must be \u2018kicked out of our party\u2019.<\/p>\n
