The Blairites were in full retreat in Liverpool this week. By contrast, the confidence of the Corbyn movement was on display throughout: in the motions passed and in the militant speeches of left-wing MPs.

Overnight, grassroots activists have been shunted to the side in what can only be described as a coup.
