I thought it was a work of pure fantasy and hypocrisy.

Magic money tree anyone? A promise to raise public spending and increase borrowing on house building without any explanations of where the revenue will come from? Even Labour have actually costed their spending plans.

Talking about how wonderful the UK is, a place to where people from pakistan can move and become bus drivers and their kids can then be Home Secretary (while neatly forgetting that she's about to stop this very thing from happening). About how brilliant that a 2nd generation windrusher is in the cabinet (avoiding the fact that she was responsible for denying UK citizens their rights who were part of that generation as part of her hostile environment, and refusing to apologise for the human toll of her egregious treatment of those people).

Talking about how terrible Labour's anti-semitism fallout has been (true) but forgetting (conveniently) that her own party has supported Victor Orban (an actual anti-semite in charge of another EU country who they protected from EU sanctions).

Talking about the Tories being a party of unity, glossing over the fact that the Tories have been responsible for the biggest division of our society we've seen for a thousand years. The country is divided along stark lines (more like trenches) of leavers and remainers, young vs old, rich vs poor, 'kippers vs migrants.

There was zero substance, just delusion and hubris designed to keep her alive for a couple more weeks and to keep Boris et al at bay. It may have succeeded in doing that but it was not a good speech if what you want is policy or direction on Brexit.

Thanks for that history lesson. I'm more interested in Britain's future out of the corrupt wannabe superstate that is the EU.

Conference speeches are always preaching to the converted how many can he rest of us remember or care about?

In my lifetime I can only think of 2 standout speeches that stay in my memory.

Thatcher "the lady's not for turning"

Kinnock "a labour council sending redundancy notices around in taxis". That was when he kicked out Momentum sorry I meant Militant Tendency. That speech still stands the hairs on the back of my neck up even now and I hated the man.

This will all be forgotten by the time we get to the next GE.

One more point

Not so H.

Corbyn has a constructive policy on brexit, the tories are at war they don't have any time for details.

Phillip Hammond, the Tory Chancellor, has said Corbyn's points on brexit will 'have to be addressed by the government'.

She can run but she can't hide forever.

Corbyn has been on the fence so long over Brexit that his arse is now paralyzed.
You can say what you like in opposition. It means nothing.
