It's time – Zarah Sultana delivers an incredible speech showcasing the importance of this historic conference.
“The left is back!”
“The real enemy of the working class travels by private jets, not migrant boats.”
“I'm a proud antizionist. [...] We will ensure of a single democratic state from the river to the sea.”
“The reason we care for the starvation of the Palestinian people is because it exposes how our ruling class would treat us if they could get away with it.”
“We should abolish the monarchy.”
“When Farage says 'Kick an immigrant', Starmer asks 'how hard?'”
“Refugees are welcome here and trans rights are human rights.”
“What I've seen from picket lines to Palestine...”
“You may have noticed there have been some hiccups, some of which caused by me. For this, I apologize. [...] I will never forgive myself for damaging the party that we so desperately need.”
“I want the working class to control this party as they should some day control the world.”
The BBC is allowed to ask the first question, the entire room boos #YourParty

Thanks for the live blog, it’s great to hear about what is going on at YourParty. Although at least on me it had the opposite effect than maybe intended. My expectations weren’t exactly high given the failed launch, but “we are not running in Northern Ireland” and “booing the BBC” don’t give the impression of a party interested in getting elected. Maybe the momentum is still there and the infighting represents typical new party teething problems, but the a first-past-the-post system isn’t very forgiving of parties without broad appeal.
The second question is asked by SkyNews, the room laughs #YourParty
The third question is asked by Steven from Novara Media, the room claps. He appears to know Zarah on a first name basis. #YourParty

The last question is asked by “Ruby” from the Telegraph. The room goes absolutely mad, some other journalists yell “shut up, be nice!” Someone yells “tory shite”. It appears as if the Torygraph isn't well liked here #YourParty
