We’re coming up to a general election – and it will be as epoch-defining as that of 1945, writes RICHARD BURGON MP
Richard Burgon with Jeremy etc

A BIG welcome to all Labour delegates in Brighton this week for our annual conference. 

It’s an important week for our party. Conference is about lively discussions and debates. It’s about meeting friends old and new. It’s about preparations for a general election and for going into government. 

But let’s all hope that it’s our last one in opposition so that when we gather again next year it will be to hear the first conference speech of Jeremy Corbyn as prime minister.
