The
Labour leader is expected to say the existing system has delivered a
‘brutal and less caring’ society
Jeremy
Corbyn will use his flagship conference speech to promise a “new
common sense” model for British life that will overturn 30 years of
liberal free market economics.
The
leader will set out policies to pull up the foundations of the
existing model, in place since Margaret Thatcher reshaped Britain in
the 1980s and adhered to by Labour until Mr Corbyn came to office.
In
particular, he will point to the Grenfell Tower disaster as a “tragic
monument” to a model of government that has become “brutal and
less caring” over the last three decades.
In
its place, he will propose a new system with an empowered state,
nationalised utilities, billions in extra funding for health and
education services, curbs on corporate excess and tax rises for the
wealthiest.
Mr
Corbyn will then claim Labour is “ready for government” today and
will demand Theresa May and her Cabinet “pull yourself together or
make way” for his party, following a week of Conservative cabinet
splits over Brexit and setbacks in Brussels.
