1. Meeting just getting underway to decide the wording of the Brexit motion that will be voted on at Labour compromise - seems v unlikely now that it will be a definitive yes to push for another referendum
2. More likely to be a vagueish compromise promising a possiblity of a vote under certain conditions - party leadership is conceding a marginal move, rather than a dramatic policy change - one shadow cabinet minister told me it was 'not realistic to hope for the Fairy Godmother'
3. But some in room pushing very, very hard for more categoric commitment - let's see where it ends up #labconf18
4. Apparently the weaker motion being debated in brexit meeting is to have a public vote on the deal at the end of the process if there hasn't been a General Election by then
5. Party under Corbyn promised they'd always listen to members - but some of shadow cabinet ministers this this endeavour is a 'distraction' - no obvious way to get a people's vote, and party would be better doing everything to try to force an election
