🚩ANNOUNCEMENT🚩

The former Labour leader & founder of the Peace & Justice Project @jeremycorbyn will be joining us for a chat about the right to food, its production & sustainability - as well as taking questions from the audience and demonstrating his top tips for jam-making!

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

This is an important moment in the history of our democracy. There’s a comprehensive assault on basic civil liberties - the right to strike, right to protest peacefully & right of journalists to report without arrest. Time has come for a new movement to defend our civil liberties

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

If you believe in women's suffrage, you believe in the right to protest.

If you oppose apartheid, you believe in the right to protest.

If you think our children deserve a liveable future, you believe in the right to protest.

Defend our freedoms. Repeal the Public Order Bill!

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Nurses work tirelessly to keep us all safe.

Steve Barclay could have given NHS staff the pay rise they deserve. He decided to take them to court instead.

What a disgraceful attack on healthcare workers. Solidarity with members of @theRCN striking to save our NHS.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Inflation is not caused by workers’ wages.

It’s caused by corporate greed and profiteering.

This government needs to get a grip. Tax the rich, introduce price controls on staple foods, and bring our utilities back into public ownership.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Record levels of inflation. Crumbling public services. More foodbanks than branches of McDonalds.

We need a real alternative.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Years of underfunding and academisation have left our schools in crisis.

Invest in the future of our children, give teachers the pay rise they deserve, and restore education as a fundamental right for all.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

More than 1.5 million over-60s in the UK are reducing or stopping their social care because they cannot afford it.

Our broken system of social care is too expensive — and the cost falls on those least able to pay.

We need a National Care Service, free for all who need it.

[James Foster @JamesEFoster]

Let the record show!

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

We don't build safer communities with dog-whistle politics.

We build safer communities with investment in education, housing, mental health & youth services.

Instead of sinking into the gutter, we should offer hope in a better world.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

This is not the sort of politics a Labour Party, confident of its own values and preparing to govern, should be engaged in. I say to the people who have taken the decision to publish this ad, please withdraw it. We, the Labour Party, are better than this.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Asylum seekers are not enemies to be captured.

They are human beings to be welcomed.

They deserve protection. They deserve the right to contribute to our society. And they deserve to live in safe, decent & comfortable housing, just like anyone else.

[Maye Musk @mayamuskl]

Jeremy Corbyn has my 100% total and unequivocal solidarity. Today, tomorrow & always.

Corbyn was right then. Corbyn is right now. And Corbyn will be right tomorrow.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

A statement on the latest attempt to block my candidacy for Islington North.

[Cllr Sean Rhodes @rhodes2112]

Sean Rhodes and Leigh Ingham. Your Labour candidates in Kingswood, on May 4th.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

The asylum seekers of today are our doctors, carers, teachers, neighbours and friends of tomorrow.

Proud to join thousands of anti-racist campaigners today to stand up for our shared humanity, oppose the Tories’ asylum ban, and say loudly and clearly: refugees are welcome here.

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

Trophy Hunting is cruel and barbaric.

I was proud to vote for legislation today that banned trophy hunting imports to the UK.

It's time we put an end to this unethical practice and redoubled our efforts to protect beautiful and endangered species around the world.

[John McDonnell @johnmcdonnellMP]

I believe that like me the vast majority of Labour Party members will find this deeply worrying & will want a serious response from all those holding leading positions in the party & to hear what action is to be taken to address the issues raised in this programme by Martin Forde

[Jeremy Corbyn @jeremycorbyn]

I agree with @BernieSanders. The function of the private sector is not to provide quality care. It is to generate profit from sickness.

Bernie has spent his life exposing the horrors of the American healthcare system.

When he tells us to save our NHS, we should listen.
