Corbyn offers “fairer” Britain

Mr Corbyn, who describes his plan as the ‘New Politics’ will pledge his love for Britain and the country’s values at the Labour party conference in Brighton.

His first conference speech as Labour leader appears designed to confront the criticism he faced for failing to sing the national anthem at the Battle of Britain memorial service at St Paul’s Cathedral.

He will say: “Fair play for all, solidarity and not walking by on the other side of the street when people are in trouble.

“It is this sense of fair play, these shared majority British values, that are the fundamental reason why I love this country and its people.

“It’s because I am driven by these British majority values, because I love this country, that I want to rid it of injustice, to make it fairer, more decent, more equal.

“And I want all of our citizens to benefit from prosperity and success.”

Imposing a top down party line will become a thing of the past, he will say, declaring “nobody has a monopoly on wisdom”.

Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell yesterday set out new-look Labour’s economic plans.
