The Labour leader refuses to change tack. After all, a stopped clock is right twice a day
It was the merest hint of an olive branch. A chink in the denial. During a rather tetchy and uninspired speech at the annual conference of the manufacturing trade organisation, Make UK, Jeremy Corbyn did just about manage to squeeze out, by way of a passing aside, that he was disappointed a small number of MPs had decided to take a different path. Then it was back to the business at hand.
The Labour leader had arrived at the conference accessorised by his shadow education secretary, Angela Rayner, and the shadow junior education minister, Gordon Marsden. Neither of whom was asked to contribute a word and who appeared genuinely confused as to why they were being made to sit on the stage throughout the half-hour session. As was everyone else. Maybe it was a hostage situation. In case they were thinking of defecting to S Club 7.
