Jeremy Corbyn has just brought down the curtain on the Labour conference. He earned a standing ovation at the end, but what did those filing out – including MPs who have spoken out against Corbyn in the past – really make of what Corbyn had to say? Coffee House caught up with delegates to hear their thoughts:
Unsurprisingly, many of those leaving the hall were singing Corbyn’s praises. Labour MP Richard Burgon went as far as saying it was the best speech Jeremy has given as Labour leader:
‘You saw in there how enthused people in the hall are but I also think the message in there and the policies in there can enthuse people right around the country too. I think this is the start of something big’
But Stephen Kinnock said Corbyn still needed to do more to reach out. He said:
‘We’ve been through a turbulent summer. I think there is something to really build on but to build in unity, all sides have to compromise.
