Can You Read Jeremy Corbyn's Handwriting?

The Labour leader has been inadvertently pictured with some notes for his big speech to the Labour conference. But what does it all mean?

Jeremy Corbyn has released this picture of him writing his much-awaited first speech to the Labour party conference as leader.

It's a perfectly normal shot of the politician sitting in the Brighton Hilton hotel, writing his final thoughts for tomorrow's speech. In the bottom-left corner of the photo you can see a list he's writing.

But if you rotate the picture and zoom – then squint a little bit more, then use your imagination – you might just be able to read the notes Jeremy Corbyn has made for his speech.

The problem is that despite Photoshop's high-tech zooming function, the handwriting remains essentially incomprehensible.

Still, we set people the challenge of decoding Corbyn's notes in an attempt to understand the secrets contained within.

Admittedly it's not the easiest thing to decipher.

@jimwaterson Kale dip. Refuse baby. Goats of rage. Sand potatoes. Electoral poo.

@jimwaterson laser lip, Boston party, goats of mercy, soil practice, international y pizza

And some suggestions are better than others.

@SimonNRicketts @jimwaterson parsnips, baked beans, organic milk, SNP Police, hereditary peers. Done.

@jimwaterson Large bap. Barley foley. Goats of easy. Soul police. International & peace.

There's hints of future policy direction if you look closely.

2 pints of milk, Crunchy Nut and a sprinkling of women in the shadow cabinet. @jimwaterson @adamboultonSKY @UKLabour

@jimwaterson One bit reads "Jack is cosy, Soil Police". A bit postmodern for me but this is the new politics I suppose.

There's definitely a deep message about policing in there.

@jimwaterson I think the last two are 'soft police' and 'international ¥ powers'

@jimwaterson The penultimate line looks like "sad police" (if you are pro-JC) or "sod police" ( if you are anti).

@jimwaterson second one up from bottom is defo 'Send Police'

Although someone always takes it too far.

@hansmollman @jimwaterson "Send police cos some gonk is trying to zoom in on my handwriting"

Most people think Corbyn was heading to the supermarket when the photographer caught him writing a shopping list.

@jimwaterson @IanHopkinson_ The last 3 are: gross of eggs; salted plaice; pastrami & peas ... are you sure this isn't his shopping list?

@jimwaterson bread, eggs, condensed milk, washing powder, champagne, 20 lambert and butler

Others think he's channelling The Thick of It.

Or Alan Partridge.

Some people are convinced the note reveals a big policy announcement in tomorrow's speech relating to peas.

@jimwaterson iPhone Six S. Smart Dogs. Bitumen Derby. Youth of Zany. Sand Policies. Intermitten Y Peas.

@jimwaterson I've been staring at it for a while and I'm 99% sure the bottom three are "York of May", "Soil please" and "Mandatory peas"

And some people just see conspiracies wherever they go.

@RossMcCaff @jimwaterson also think I can spot a 'Jet fuel' and a 'steel beams', but not 100% on that
