Mr Corbyn will have the more difficult job of reconciling the dreams of his new recruits with the obduracy of MPs who have no truck with his agenda. Insofar as allies can predict, he will warn such critics that they must respect his mandate and spell out how he will empower the rank and file. In addition to unveiling his plan to renationalise the railways, he is expected to offer a cash lifeline to the NHS in a speech offering him his first and possibly his only chance to make a good impression on both party and country. Hostile MPs secretly hoping that he sounds like the allotment committee chairman outlining the theory of compost management should think back to 1995.
