Jeremy Corbyn, MP
The leader of the Labour Party spoke for 75 minutes, promising that Labour would be an “antidote to apathy and despair”, with better housing at the heart of its reforms. He said that he would give cities the power to introduce rent controls and introduce tough restrictions on gentrification projects, invoking the memory of the Grenfell Tower fire. He has also stated that Labour is on the threshold of power and has become the government is waiting.
