Labour MPs looked over the precipice, once Anas Sarwar made his statement, and they didn't like what they saw. And they thought the right thing to do was to unite behind Keir, to focus on the country, because we didn't want to go down the road of the Tories when they were in power chaotic, disorderly leadership contest.

Ed Miliband has told Elon Musk to get the hell out of our politics and our country in a dramatic intervention on the main stage of the Labour Party conference in Liverpool. The energy secretary's criticism of the tech billionaire came as part of a wider attack on Reform leader Nigel Farage, who he claimed is part of a global network who together want to destroy the ties that bind our communities and our way of life.

We're not going to apologise for the actions we took to stabilise the economy. That's what happened last year. The chancellor came into office, saw a massive black hole in the nation's finances.

Miliband provokes rightwing journalists and voters like no other minister, evoking comparisons to the relentless targeting faced by socialist Tony Benn in the 1970s.
