Corbyn’s rallying cry at Mirror bash

It’s the eve of the Leader’s Speech at Labour conference and Jeremy Corbyn has attempted to set the mood with an extra speech at the Mirror conference party. The Labour leader told an adoring crowd that this conference was historic – before thanking them for being one of the okay media publications:

‘Conference this week has been fascinating – it’s now the biggest ever. We are planning for a future that works for everyone and brings about social change.

Thanks to the Mirror for giving us a fair hearing – plenty of the others don’t.

This conference shows a degree of confidence in our party. This country needs a Labour government and I’m ready to take us there if we can force an election any time soon.’

For good measure, John McDonnell was the follow up act and told attendees to put this date in the diary as the eve of a Labour government.
