Labour conference - as it happened: Brexit rows deepen as senior party figures make series of conflicting statements

Labour members have overwhelmingly backed a Brexit approach that leaves a second referendum on the table, following a day of splits among senior party figures.

Delegates backed a motion that said Labour "must support all options remaining on the table, including campaigning for a public vote" on the penultimate day of the party's annual conference.

It came after Sir Keir Starmer received a standing ovation from delegates when he vowed "nobody is ruling out Remain" from the ballot paper in a new Brexit vote.

The shadow Brexit secretary risked reigniting tensions at the top of the party with the promise, which came after John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, appeared to rule it out.

Emily Thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary, also said Labour should seek to delay Brexit by extending article 50, if it won a snap general election. But Jeremy Corbyn later told journalists that Brexit would happen on March 29 next year.
