In his speech today at Labour conference, Jeremy Corbyn confidently set out his vision for government. The Leader of the Opposition promised that a change was coming – and said that this change would benefit the many. On Brexit, however, he disappointed some pro-EU MPs by refusing to soften the party’s position and explicitly back a Leave/Remain second referendum. A glimpse of why that was can be found in the party’s latest broadcast.
Following on from that speech, Labour has released ‘Our Town’. The short video is centred on the message that a Corbyn government would ‘restore pride in British towns and bring our high streets and communities back to life’. In it, the party promises to kickstart the economy in ‘all the regions’. The focus, however, is those towns that have been left behind as the cities have flourished: ‘years of austerity have ripped the heart our of this place’.
