Thousands march for the NHS as Corbyn addresses rally in Bevan’s birthplace Tredegar
People march in London for the NHS

BRITAIN’S NHS returned to its roots yesterday when Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn addressed a rally alongside British and Welsh labour movement leaders in Aneurin Bevan’s birthplace Tredegar.

Mr Corbyn said it was fitting that, after addressing NHS rallies in Livingston on Friday and London on Saturday, he should come to one in the birthplace and constituency of the father of the NHS — “a man of ideas and principles.”

The Labour leader asked his audience to cast their minds back to the fear of illness that existed for working-class families before the NHS was established.
