THE second day of the Welsh Labour conference was less eventful than the first, but no less lively, with a speech from Jeremy Corbyn proving the highlight of the day.

Mr Corybn was met with a rapterous reception when he took the stage in Llanduno.

And he wasted no time in slamming Theresa May for the recent controversy over the Windrush generation, saying "lives have been ripped apart".

"The Windrush scandal has exposed how British citizens who came to our country to rebuild it after the war have faced deportation because they couldn't clear the deliberately unreachable bar set by Theresa May's hostile environment for migrants,” he said.

"And it's not as if they weren't warned. At the time the Tories were pushing their hostile environment policy through Parliament some of us, sadly far too few, warned about the consequences for those born in the UK and those born abroad alike.

"So now we're seeing those consequences in a string of harrowing human stories. People's lives ripped apart because of the personal decisions and actions of Theresa May and her Government.”

Calling Labour “the party of devolution”, he applauded Welsh Government policies such as ending the Right to Buy scheme and the decision to buy Cardiff Airport.

 added: “Whereas in the rest of the UK Labour is setting out a vision for the future, here in Wales Labour is in power showing the rest of us how Labour values, socialist values, can work.”

He also reflected on last year’s General Election, saying: “It’s been quite a year for this party.

“The Tories didn’t quite hide their ambitions in the General Election to make gains in Wales.

“We completely proved them and the mainstream media wrong”

He added: “Do you know what? We’re going to do it all again.

He also paid tribute to first minister Carwyn Jones following his announcement he is to resign, saying: “Thank you for all you’ve done, do and will do - you’re not done yet, mate.”

He added: “People will vote Labour if we give them realistic, socialist solutions.

“What has been done here in Wales is a stepping stone to what we can do in Westminster.

“Together we can provide a society truly that is for the many, not the few.”

Today also featured to tributes to members who have died since the last conference, including Rhodri Morgan and Carl Sargeant, as well as former Caerphilly council leaders Keith Reynolds and Harry Andrews.
