Fascism beckons if the left cannot offer working-class communities a real alternative, Corbyn tells Matchwomen's Festival
Morons from far-right group Patriotic Alternative face abti-fascist counter-protest outside the Beresford Hotel in Newquay, Cornwall, which houses refugees in February 25, 2023
IF THE left cannot offer an alternative to the status quo “fascism beckons,” former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn warned the Matchwomen’s Festival in London’s East End.
Mr Corbyn and his wife Laura Alvarez did their first ever joint interview with Matchwomen’s Festival founder and historian Louise Raw on Saturday.
Labour in its current form was no alternative to the government at all, Ms Alvarez said. “Jeremy was the leader for five years in the Labour Party, and he couldn’t change the corruption inside the party. We need to carry on fighting and challenging this corrupt government — and right-wing MPs wherever they are.”
