And we are on campus with the students who voted forJeremy Corbyn last time, do they see him as a protest vote or a Prime Minister . Ive always felt left wing. I was born into factories and never felt there was anyone in mainstream politics that spoke to me. And then along he came and i am suddenly like, finally. Good evening. Tomorrow at noon, labours leader will stand at the podium for the final speech of conference. He will tell his audience, and he hopes, a much wider crowd, that labour is ready for government. If it sounds like the bold electioneering of a slogan. But as John Mcdonnell war games possible economic scenarios such as a run on the pound once his party takes power, this programme has learned of other preparations being made to ready labour for a snap election and for government. Out Political Editor nick watt is here. Lets start with this speech, you have gleaned a little bit of what will be said byJeremy Corbyn tomorrow. Opposition leaders need to be careful when they say they are about to go into government. Those of us can remember the former liberal leader when he said tell your constituencies to be ready when we go into government. But there will not be laughter in this hall tomorrow and indeed there will be a serious tone in downing street whenJeremy Corbyn says the labour party under his leadership has become a government in waiting and labour he will say is ready to take power and he will have a real pop at the conservatives over brexit. He will say, never has the National Interest been so ill served in such a vital issue and he will say if there was no other reason for the tories to go their self interested brexit bungling would be reason enough. You have also learned something about preparations for a government within downing street, should it get that far . Well, yes, the party has agreed Jeremy Corbyn is here to stay and secondly a general election could come much sooner than expected. Jeremy corbyn told a meeting of the National Exit of last week that could be a snap election because theresa may could lose control of her party and so the Party Machinery is facing what is described as a standing instruction to be ready for an immediate election. They are bringing forward the selection of labour candidates, 76 labour candidates in england, 20 labour candidates in scotland and ten labour candidates in wales. The process for the manifesto is a bit more laborious but, as they showed earlier this year, they can pull out of the hat pretty quickly if they need to. So, look, i have been looking today at all of these issues so here is my report. I am looking forward to my Prime Minister being Jeremy Corbyn. You see him there, you see him there, you see him everywhere. Perish the thought that labour is embracing a personality cult butJeremy Corbyn is turning into something of an icon. Even his cat is depicted on merchandise. And this isnt about making a few bucks for party coffers. All sides genuinely believe Jeremy Corbyn could soon be walking through this famous door. Behind me is a labours Conference Hotel here in brighton. I am told that in here last fridayJeremy Corbyn told a meeting of labours Ruling National Executive Committee that they could soon be facing a snap general Election Campaign. He told his party that tory divisions over brexit means that theresa may could lose control of her party and stumble into a general election. As a party we are on an election footing, we will be out there selecting candidates in key seats we need to win and on this saturday we are going to have one of our Biggest National campaigns today taking that message of hope and a better and more fair and equal britain to the country ahead of the Tory Party Conference in manchester. An early election would throw open some of the central questions aboutJeremy Corbyn and his future. Does he really believe he can be Prime Minister or does he believe his Central Mission is to secure the leadership of the labour party for a future generation of left wingers . I have spoken to one long standing ally ofJeremy Corbyn who says he is in no doubt he will be Prime Minister within the next few years. At that point he will have achieved two historic goals, he will have put labour back into power and he will have secured number ten for the left. Once in number ten, the 68 year old would do something rare for a new incumbent, implement a Succession Plan thats been underway for some time. The labour left, who are mostly in their 60s, believe they have been weakened by what they call the missing generation. For more than a decade, their supporters struggled to be selected as labour parliamentary candidates. They joke that their group was known as the sealed tomb. Over the last few elections a broader range of candidates have been selected. And the leadership has now identified two possible successors. Rebecca long bailey and Angela Rayner. So a rapturous reception for Angela Rayner as she told her story of how the Labour Movement allowed her to make thejourney from being a single mother without qualifications to sitting in the shadow cabinet. She has been supported by her shadow cabinet colleague rebecca long bailey. These two members of the shadow cabinet lie at the heart ofJeremy Corbyns thinking. If he finds himself Prime Minister any time soon, they will be senior members of his cabinet, but also in the longer term the labour leadership believes that Angela Rayner and rebecca long bailey are the sort of people who can carry the flame whenJeremy Corbyn decides to pass on to the next generation. Rebecca long bailey is ready for a general election. What we are doing now is building on what was in the manifesto and i have to say there was a lot of work done that wasnt actually included in the manifesto, especially in terms of industrial strategy and business. We had a document the size of war and peace that we wanted placed in the manifesto but we were told we needed a snappy few paragraphs of about 500 words. That is what will help us win the next general election, notjust complaining about how bad the tories are, but showing what britain would look like under a new Labour Government. One whitehall watcher wonders whether labour would be ready for government after another snap election. I think it would be challenging if there was a snap election for a number of reasons, first of all i think there are Big Questions over whether they would have time to talk through policy priorities with the Civil Service to the extent they need to before they go into government. Also you have the shadow front bench, who perhaps, compared to previous shadow front benchers, are a little less experienced than normal. A gentle, some would say an unstoppable, momentum is powering the rise ofJeremy Corbyn. Soon, however, he may be confronted with the realities of power. Before we came on air i spoke to the unite union leader len mcclusky. If the shadow chancellor was war gaming a run on the pound, i asked, what did this tell us about labours relationship with business . Business in general can be very uncomfortable about what a Labour Government would do. The whole question of war gaming, and i am not sure that is the right terminology that should be used, but if it is a question about a government that is preparing for a whole host of different options, itjust demonstrates to me that they are on top of their game. But if youre a business and you are hearing Higher Corporation tax, nationalisation, property tax, you cannot sit there as a company boss saying, come on labour, can you . Bringing up Corporation Tax would only bring us up to levels these Multinational Companies pay in other european countries. Big business doesnt have anything to fear. All big business has two recognises they may have to pay their fair share. They have got away with it for long enough. The reality is the creation of wealth in our nation is still as high as its ever been. The distribution of that wealth is what is wrong. A Labour Government is on the side of ordinary working people and would redistribute that wealth, but it wouldnt take the wealth away from businesses. Is it just about. Tax . Amazon could pay a lot more tax but it would still be taking business away from all the small businesses, your members, that you would like to support . But thats a different argument. I cant stop the nature of large companies, you will be asking the next if i want to break up supermarkets to save the local corner shop. The reality is. Is that such an odd thing to ask . No, i would love to be more local shops but i dont have a magic wand. Lets talk about the make up of your party now. You said yesterday there is no dissent at this conference and it got a big cheer. There has been dissent in the past, hasnt there . The party seems more united than i have ever known. Ive often been in the minority in my party, of which i have been a member for 47 years, but you argue your corner. At the moment i see unity everywhere. There is a lot of talent on the backbenches, as well as the front rachel reeves, chuka umunna, advisers like peter mandelson, would they be welcome back, should Jeremy Corbyn say, you are welcome into the fold and you get jobs . There is a fantastic amount of talent currently on the front benches and the shadow cabinet. Is that a no then . No, it isnt. I dont pickjeremys team. All of us have to live with the consequences of our actions. Ive had to live with it all my life in the labour party so there are some of the Parliamentary Labour Party and some of the leading lights who resigned and were part of that kind of attempt to undermine corbyn shouldnt be surprised if there isnt suddenly desperate wish to fall over to drag them back in. But of course they have a role to play. Tom watson, your former roommate, does he have to pay the price . I am not sure why he engaged in the undermining, the others live he obviously feltjeremy was a problem and he has to work that out with jeremy. Tom is a talented guy. But you see it as undermining rather than an assertion of a different view . Well, it was at that time. You know, lets be honest with everybody. When there was a coup happening every other week, mass resignations, the votes of no confidence, those issues have to be worked through and people, and lots have, the Parliamentary Labour Party in general now are massively supportive of Jeremy Corbyns leadership and things need to find their level and time is a great healer. Israel should not be treated differently to White South AfricansSouth Africans are nazis. Should the person who said that a labourfringe meeting last night have the right to express that view . If they are members of the labour party and they have engaged in language that is considered to be anti semitic or in any other shape orform racist they should have no place in the labour party. Do you recognise labour might still have a problem with anti semitism . No, i have never recognised that. I believe it was mood music created by people trying to undermineJeremy Corbyn. Should Ken Livingstone be brought back . No, the labour party are dealing with him, i thought his comments were extraordinary and i expressed that view at the time and the labour party have dealt with him. You have noticed this, other people on the floor talked about it, there is a sense of a government in waiting, what would be your bet on the earliest for a general election . If i was a betting man, early 2019. Not before then . I dont think so, we have only got 12 months for this deal, october of next year we have got to have cut a deal on brexit and i dont know how the government are going to do it. I think it will unravel in the house of commons. I think she will resign and i think, and i hope we will have another general election so we can give britain a Labour Government that they desperately need. Len mcclusky, many thanks. Joining me now, shami chakrabarty, shadow attorney general. Nice of you to come in. We learned yesterday that labour has been war gaming these scenarios, whatever they are economic problems, a run on the pound. John mcdonnell used this phrase, he said when they come for us. What did that mean to you . What did that mean to you. I think the first thing in your question is about war gaming and senior Civil Servants stressed test flights to the economy, to the pound, terrorist attacks, all the time. You have to prepare for the worst that is what you do when youre a government in waiting and government. But he used this specific example of a run on the pound, labour warning of that and that suggests that business would be scared of the labour party. My understanding is that the war gaming is about preparing for adverse economic circumstances and to be honest the way this government, the current government is behaving around its brexit negotiations, we have to be quite nervous about what economy we will inherit. In terms of when they come for us, that isjohn in his pithy way being honest about the fact that there are some vested interests who are not going to be happy about it, about a Labour Government. If i were a press baron or tax dodger i would not be happy aboutJeremy Corbyn in government. But tax dodgers are not the people who come for you, it suggests he is thinking within the apparatus of the state itself. I have not disgusted withjohn but i was a government lawyer for years and im not worried about the apparatus of the state. Is thatjust paranoid. I do not think that is what he meant. You will have to ask him about that. But im confident that we will be a government of the rule of law, i have spoken to lawyers here in brighton and they look forward to a Labour Government that will invest in access tojustice again. There are Public Servants looking forward to a Labour Government that will invest in caring and education. Do you think anyone in the establishment is nervous about the labour party, the military for example, potentially having a pacifist in power . I would be keen on having nia griffith as defence secretary because she will invest in the military as they are crying out to do. WellJeremy Corbyn has made his feelings go about trident and the nuclear button. I think is keen to support the military but he will not take into unnecessary and illegal military intervention. It was interesting to hear Len Mccluskey earlier talking about people needing to live by their consequences. He suggests those who have fallen foul ofJeremy Corbyn on the way up should be kept outside the pen. Is that your sense of what should happen . Not at all and im not sure that is even what lennon was saying. He said people should live by their consequences. I think perhaps what he pointed to was the fact that there are some brilliant younger members of parliament, some of them came in in 2015 and they stepped up and they grew into their positions. Now some of them are really fine shadow secretary of state and you cannot but reward that. Weve seen rebecca long bailey, Angela Rayner, i have the privilege to sit around the shadow cabinet table with those brilliant young women. You think the days of chuka umunna or tom watson are gone . Not at all. You would have them back . Im not the leader. You are close to the leader and have shown yourself as a loyalist. Would you say to him this is the time to open up the big tent . The tent is growing, as youve seen at this conference, the tent is so big that is is hard to find the venue big enough for a conference. So there is no spite going on. This is one of the most positive Party Conferences i have ever been to. It is a very special energy. Tom watson made a very fine unity speech today which i congratulated him on. So it would be a better story for you know if there was some kind of secret in fighting still going on. It is easy for you to ask, are the older shadow cabinet members, welcome back him, or not really within his sights set at their welcome but there are people who are filling jobs very well the moment and you cannot expect their loyalty and their brilliance not to be rewarded. Let me just ask you to pick up something Len Mccluskey earlier. Looking at anti semitism, no one better placed in the party to look at this v
