secretive process. attendees will hand in their phones for example. they do not want anything to get out. that said, there have been people who have been briefed on the contents of the manifesto and you started hearing a few things emerging last night, some of the newspapers were reporting, some sources reporting things that would be in it and the most eye catching that was actually confirmed by keir starmer today, that was actually confirmed by keir starmertoday, is that was actually confirmed by keir starmer today, is that there is going to be commitment of labour to recognise a palestinian state. there is not detail around this in terms of a timeline, but certainly, keir starmer think that a palestinian state would be recognised as part of the process to a two state solution. does that echo what lord cameron was saying a few weeks ago, but his party did not commit to that. there s been tension in terms of what lord cameron the foreign secretary in terms of where his position is and
some news about the role the unions have played in today s debate around the manifesto, but are you hearing? just a quick recap for anyone joining us, labour has been holding this big meeting today in secret, clause five, this formal process where the manifesto is formally adopted into the party and its union backers. it s a very secretive meeting, you have to have numbered copies of the documents, phones handed in, they don t want things getting out. but we understand in the last few minutes that one of labour s biggest backers, a major donor to the labour party, is not endorsing the labour manifesto. now we understand this is over concerns about the party s position specifically on one of its commitments in cerner workers rights, so of course we will hear more about it but we ve heard for a long time now that labour plans as big package of reforms to give workers more rights in employment. there s been a bit of back and forth between labour and some of the trade
