Labour row over minimum wage - a podcast by BBC Radio 4

The Unite union is putting forward a motion, for Labour to back increasing the minimum wage to £15 an hour, to a vote at the party's conference. The former shadow cabinet minister, Andy McDonald, said opposition to the idea from the party leadership was the reason he resigned from the front bench yesterday. Labour sources have accused the left-wing of the party of trying to sabotage the conference.

Today's Nick Robinson is at the Labour party conference in Brighton and spoke to Diane Abbott, Labour MP for Hackney North and Stoke Newington, as well as Nick Thomas-Symonds, Shadow Home Secretary.
