Labour Party Conference

Our leader, Jeremy Corbyn, has made the following statement.

"I am honoured to have won the votes of thousands of members and supporters who have given me the second mandate in a year to lead our party.

I will do everything I can to repay that trust and support to bring our party together - to make it an engine of progress for our country and the people who depend on Labour.

Always remember that in our party, we have much more in common than that which divides us.

We are now the largest political party in western Europe. Our new members are now part of a nationwide movement who can now take our message into every community in the country to win support for the election of a Labour government.

Now is the time for all of us to focus every ounce of our energy on exposing and defeating the Tories and the damage they are doing to our country. Theresa May’s government isn’t a new government - it’s David Cameron’s government repackaged but threatening to take the country backwards and dithering as we face the historic challenges of Brexit.

Together, arguing for the real change this country needs, I have no doubt that Labour can win the next election whenever Theresa May decides to call it - and form the next government.

My responsibility as Labour leader is to unite this party. And it’s also the responsibility of the whole party to work together and respect the democratic choice that has been made.

Labour is a party brimming full of ideas - of talent and creativity - and so is Britain. Unleashing that potential is the job of all of us.

Let’s work together for real change."

Dear Turkeys

Vote for Christmas means a Vote For Christmas. There will not be a second vote. Christmas means Christmas. Enjoy your stuffing.

Just to confirm - "unelectable" Jeremy "unelectable" Corbyn - elected twice to Labour leadership.
Theresa "strong, sensible, not a warmongering anti-human rights c.unt at all" May - elected 0 times.

Cool.

Elected by a tiny proportion of the overall electorate.

If there was a General Election tomorrow, the Tories would absolutely walk it.

Yeah. Or double the number of staff at HMRC investigating wealthy tax dodgers.

You will be very disappointed that the people who voted him leader don't make anywhere near enough people to get Labour into power. I will be very disappointed that there is no-one to challenge the Tories and we are stuck with them getting more and more right wing. Labour members have a left wing leader which makes them happy. Sadly, there aren't nearly enough people in Britain willing to back someone that left wing, despite the Tories getting more right wing by the day.

Enjoy your left wing idealist in power whilst centrists like me rue the day that Labour lurch left leaving the country to lurch right.

Says some very depressing things about our country, when you look at the two candidates. When did we become a nation of selfish xenophobic *****?

Not a party political point but why does the Labour leader's speech always come early on in the conference? Isn't it better to have it at the end as the big finale?

Exactly this.

The old school 'left wing' working classes don't really exist. The majority of the country has now shifted much more towards the centre ground, yet Labour is moving in the other direction. A centre-ist Labour party would have a real shot at winning a General Election.
