'Inspirational', 'poetic' and 'one of hope' — what the comrades think of Corbyn's speech

Jeremy Corbyn’s first conference speech as Labour leader was targeted at his core fanbase and they certainly appear happy with what he had to say. So far, this is what members of Corbyn’s shadow cabinet and his friends in the trade unions have said about the speech:

Andy Burnham, shadow home secretary and Corbyn’s leadership rival:

‘I think out there the public are crying out for a different way of politics, a different style of politics, they are fed up of the soundbites the spin, they want to see authenticity, people who mean what they say and that’s what you saw today from Jeremy Corbyn.

‘He’s fought all his political life for the things he was speaking about so it does come from the heart. That’s what’s been lacking in politics in recent times.’

Michael Dugher, shadow culture secretary:

‘I think there’s huge dissatisfaction with politics as usual. That’s true of Conservative voters, Ukip supporters, people who didn’t vote at all, and I think Jeremy had a message for them today.’
