LABOUR is “alive and kicking” in Scotland despite predictions of its demise, Jeremy Corbyn will say today.

Addressing the Scottish Labour conference in Dundee on its opening day, Mr Corbyn will attack the Tories and the SNP alike for their “obsession” with “elite deals” to pave the way for Britain’s departure from the European Union.

The conference is expected to see key figures on the party’s right pressing for commitment to continued British membership of the EU single market.
