LABOUR delegates have unanimously backed demands that the party in government would completely halt arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

Delegates at the party’s annual conference in Brighton welcomed the UN's call for a ceasefire to the conflict, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people in Yemen.

It said that the next Labour government must show “commitment” to stopping arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

  • In further worrying signs of escalating tensions, PM Boris Johnson failed to rule out military intervention in Iran after he blamed the country for attacks on Saudi Arabian oil facilities.
