Mr Corbyn yesterday travelled to the TUC conference in Brighton where he delivered a rambling speech that called for people to be given unlimited benefits. Just before he took to the stage, the string quartet played a rendition of Hey Big Spender, an apparent reference to his "people's quantative easing" policy.
Mr Corbyn also said the unions would write his manifesto for the next general election, and compared the Government to the fascist leadership of General Franco in Spain.

There’s definitely a realisation among all the editorial staff here that if we want to produce really good commercial content both for our readers and for our advertising clients, we’ve all got to get our hands dirty with it to make sure it’s the best it can possibly be.
There’s no point in selling commercial content to a client and saying, ‘We can do the content better than anyone else because we understand our audience’ if it’s not the actual journalists themselves doing the content.  It has to be the people who write for the readers every day who produce this stuff, guide it and inspire it.

After the war Lyons wanted to improve its operation and looked at the electronic computers being used by the military in the US. They were so impressed that in 1951 they made their own computer in the UK called Leo I, standing for the Lyons Electronic Office I. This was the world’s first business computer, and one of its early tasks was to collate daily orders phoned in each day from the teashops and calculate the overnight orders and delivery schedules. Lyons even factored in weather forecasts for the fresh produce carried by its delivery vans.

I am writing to update you on changes we are making as part of the ongoing editorial transformation.

As I outlined in a letter to staff earlier this month, we must continue to meet the demands of resourcing our digital-first newsroom whilst also responding to the ongoing challenges within our industry.

As a result, there will inevitably be an impact on staff numbers in several editorial areas.

As we reduce the overall number of editorial positions we will start the normal information and consultation process. Those who are likely to be most affected will receive further correspondence in the next few days. This will outline the next steps.

I realise this is a time of great uncertainty for you all. I do not want that to continue for any longer than is necessary, but I want the process we follow to be fair and allow time for sufficient consultation. I hope we can complete this initial assessment in just over a week.

The selfie Krohn tweeted from the top of Mt Sinjar

On the dry mountain the Yazidis fight with the goats for the remaining water. In the distance, the lights of Islamic State checkpoints loom menacingly (Krohn writes).
Yesterday those stuck behind Islamic State lines began reporting the group's latest slaughter: hundreds of members of tehir arcane but colourful sect massacred for refusing to convert to Islam.
On the mountain the rumours from their relatives only added to the sense of panic and despair. One man told this reporter...that jihadists had stormed through his village, killing every adult healthy male. Others talked of hundreds of women being abducted. Reports came in elsewhere of women and children being buried alive.

Mount Sinjar stinks of death. The few Yazidis who have managed to escape its clutches can tell you why. 
'Dogs were eating the bodies of the dead,' said Haji Khedev Haydev, 65, who ran through the lines of Islamic State jihadists surrounding it.
On Sunday night I became the first Western journalist to reach the mountain where tens of thousands of Yazidis, a previously obscure Middle Eastern sect, have taken refuge from the Islamic State forces that seized their largest town Sinjar.
I was aboard an Iraqi Army helicopter and watched as...

The article is even more remarkable, given that Charlie Kimber, the national secretary of the Socialist Workers Party, is reportedly the Old Etonian son of a baronet
