Corbyn's peculiar achievement has been to make the Labour core even more middle class than it was under Blair. Somehow a party founded to represent the working classes is now a party of the bitter bourgeoisie. The conference won't even discuss Brexit, the thing their working-class voters want most. Because they don't really care what working-class voters want. It's the hip, urban, well-off youths who think they're Marxists but behave like Stalinists that Labour now courts. Truth hurts!

The BBC went to the Labour party conference to ask delegates who won the General Election. These people are nuts.

The floor is all yours. Go ahead.

During the election campaign I met and listened to people in every part of the country.

Struggling single parents, young people held back by lack of opportunity.

Pensioners anxious about health and social care, public servants trying to keep services together.

Low and middle earners, self-employed and employed, facing insecurity and squeezed living standards.

But hopeful that things could change, and that Labour could make a difference.

Many hadn’t voted before, or not for years past.

But they put their faith in our party.

We offered an antidote to apathy and despair.

Let everyone understand - we will not let you down.

Because we listen to you, because we believe in you.

Labour can and will deliver a Britain for the many not just the few.

Corbyn's speech - Snap verdict

That was probably one of the best speeches Jeremy Corbyn given in a lifetime of speechifying, and easily his best as party leader. It was unusually long, even for this gig (75 minutes, according to my count), but it had substance and a few passages of exceptionally good writing.

No but I read about him and he was a red wing socialist.

The show basically takes the piss out of characters like Smith, it's a comedy about his sort rather than a sympathetic portrayal.

Sounds like it was about all "sorts", really, though I haven't seen any of it;

Dad’s reactionary kitchen-table conservatism made him look foolish ... and Wolfie’s idealism was also depicted as foolish.

Sounds quite a lot like this forum, actually .

It's been a good conference and Corbyn's speech was really a sound and at times inspiring one.

I have had my doubts as to him becoming PM in the past and also never expected Labour to make the inroads they did in the June election.

This lot with the DUP now,the poor end deal they are likely to end up with as to brexit.
The main issues as to NHS and Housing getting worse.
The growing number of younger voters year on year, especially those young voters denied an EU vote who missed out aged 16 and 17.

I think Corbyn could gain much more in the next election now and this conference plus his speech,is only likely to now increase his opportunity further.
