Corbyn Given Standing Ovation At NUT Conference

Jeremy Corbyn has been given a standing ovation after becoming the first political leader in living memory to address the National Union of Teachers (NUT) conference. The Labour veteran brought the packed conference hall in Brighton to its feet as he took to the stage to accuse Tories of presiding over a "crisis in our schools". "George Osborne used the Budget to announce the forced academisation of all schools," he told the conference.
