Thousands of people turned out on The Level on Saturday evening as the Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn kicked off his party’s conference with a stirring speech.
After being introduced with a touching speech by a close friend from his days as a Haringey councillor as “my comrade, my friend and my leader”, Mr Corbyn smiled out over park on Saturday evening as a familiar “oh, Jer-e-my-Cor-byn” refrain rang out.
The biggest cheer of the evening came when he praised the general election campaigning efforts of young people, saying: “We were not going to let them take away the hopes of a generation with their meanness, nastiness and austerity-led politics.”
