Jeremy Corbyn has told Theresa May that Labour will support her if she abandons her Chequers plan and agrees to a softer Brexit.

He said his party would vote for a "sensible" deal that kept the UK in a customs union with the EU and guaranteed jobs and workers' rights.

The Labour leader also used his keynote speech to the party's annual conference in Liverpool to promise to fight antisemitism "with every breath I possess".

He told the Jewish community: "We are your ally."

FFS, trains are so shit and expensive in Britain. I don’t care whose fault it is or what ideology is best placed to fix it. Everyone just needs to get in the sea.
