Jeremy Corbyn will today affirm his commitment to “majority British values” as he introduces himself to the nation in his Labour conference address.
The veteran left-winger will describe being inspired by the “unity and unanimity” of the attitudes of those he met during the leadership campaign.
“As I travelled the country, it was wonderful to see the diversity of all the people in the country,” the new leader is expected to tell activists.
“Even more inspiring was the unity and unanimity of their values. A belief in coming together to achieve more than we can on our own.
“Fair play for all, solidarity and not walking by on the other side of the street when people are in trouble. Respect for others’ point of view.
“It is this sense of fair play, these shared majority British values, that are the fundamental reason why I love this country and its people.”
Mr Corbyn will also announce his intention to put these values back into politics and herald a new way of doing things.
“I don’t believe anyone has a monopoly on wisdom – we all have ideas and a vision of how things can be better,” he will say.
“I want open debate, I will listen to everyone, I firmly believe leadership is listening.”
