In a marathon 75-minute speech, Jeremy Corbyn told an excitable Brighton Centre that his socialist Labour Party now represented the political mainstream.

He received ovation after ovation as he praised colleagues, called for an end to urban ‘social cleansing’ and promised to renationalise utility companies. Here are some of his key points...

Jeremy Corbyn on... Brighton

It’s a privilege to be speaking in Brighton. A city that not only has a long history of hosting Labour conferences, but also of inspirational Labour activists.

It was over a century ago, here in Brighton, that a teenage shop worker had had enough of the terrible conditions facing her and her workmates. ... This woman, Margaret Bondfield later became a Labour MP.

On politics

Conference, it is often said that elections can only be won from the centre ground.

And in a way that’s not wrong - so long as it’s clear that the political centre of gravity isn’t fixed or unmovable, nor is it where the establishment pundits like to think it is.

Today’s centre ground is certainly not where it was twenty or thirty years ago.

We need to build a still broader consensus around the priorities we set in the election, making the case for both compassion and collective aspiration.

This is the real centre of gravity of British politics. We are now the political mainstream.

On the Tories

During the election campaign, Theresa May told voters they faced the threat of a “coalition of chaos. Remember that? Well, now they’re showing us exactly how that works. And I don’t just mean the Prime Minister’s desperate deal with the DUP. She’s got a “coalition of chaos” around her own cabinet table - Phillip Hammond and Liam Fox, Boris Johnson and David Davis.

On the election

The result of our campaign confounded every expert and sceptic. We wiped out the Tory majority, winning support in every social and age group and gaining seats in every region and nation of the country.

So please, Theresa May take another walking holiday and make another impetuous decision. The Labour campaign machine is primed and ready to roll.

On Brexit

The three million EU citizens currently living and working in Britain are welcome here.

Labour has made clear that Britain should stay within the basic terms of the single market and a customs union for a limited transition period.

But beyond that transition, our task is a different one. It is to unite everyone in our country around a progressive vision of what Britain could be, but with a government that stands for the many not the few.

On renationalisation

Labour is looking not just to repair the damage done by austerity but to transform our economy with a new and dynamic role for the public sector particularly where the private sector has evidently failed.

Take the water industry. Of the nine water companies in England six are now owned by private equity or foreign sovereign wealth funds.

Their profits are handed out in dividends to shareholders while the infrastructure crumbles the companies pay little or nothing in tax and executive pay has soared as the service deteriorates.

That is why we are committed to take back our utilities into public ownership.

On housing

Rent controls exist in many cities across the world and I want our cities to have those powers too and tenants to have those protections. We also need to tax undeveloped land held by developers and have the power to compulsorily purchase.

Regeneration is a much abused word. Too often what it really means is forced gentrification and social cleansing. Regeneration under a Labour government will be for the benefit of the local people, not private developers, not property speculators.

First, people who live on an estate that’s redeveloped must get a home on the same site and the same terms as before - no social cleansing, no jacking up rents, no exorbitant ground rents.

And second councils will have to win a ballot of existing tenants and leaseholders before any redevelopment scheme can take place.

Real regeneration, yes, but for the many not the few.

On education

We will establish a National Education Service which will include at its core free tuition for all college courses, technical and vocational training so no one is held back by costs and everyone has the chance to learn.
