Offer real change, Corbyn tells Labour
Jeremy Corbyn speaks during a protest organised by the Rail, Maritime and Transport union (RMT) opposite Downing Street, London, August 31, 2023

FORMER Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has urged the party to offer real change as it prepares to launch its general election manifesto.

Responding to Sir Keir Starmer’s infantile charge that the Tories had prepared “a Jeremy Corbyn-style manifesto,” Mr Corbyn hit back, demanding “a fundamental shake-up of our economic and political system.”

He made his appeal as it was revealed that disillusioned members have been pouring out of what Momentum called Starmer’s “hollowed out” party, including more than 50 in Chingford angered at the treatment of candidate Faiza Shaheen.
