I also liked how he handled:
Brexit - Called Johnson out for being elected on a platform of "Get Brexit Done" but having no idea what to do next.
Patriotism- aligning patriotism with people doing better and fighting for equality while also taking a swipe at Priti Patel.
Blair's Labour - Pointing out that according to the OECD, the UK lead the way in terms of increasing social mobility under Blair.
Hecklers- Heckling while he was talking about the NHS and his dying Mum wasn't a good look. It was a clear statement of intent. Fuck the hecklers and the people who think you can win an election by going even further left. You don't win elections with Labour members anyway.
All in all I think he had a tightrope to walk and avoided being drawn into just hucking shit over the wall at the Torys. The patriotism bits stuck out to me...I have a feeling that will resonate well with voters.
