This election is a battle between the people and the establishment
Jeremy Speaking November 2019

Our country is crying out for real change after a decade of cruel Tory-Lib Dem austerity. What is clear is that only Labour is ready to deliver that change. Boris Johnson’s Conservatives stand for nothing but more of the same.

It is because we stand for real change that the establishment’s opposition is mounting – and, mark my words, it will get much worse before Election Day.

There are always winners and losers in any big social struggle. When Labour wins, millions of people whose lives have been so held back for so long will win with us.
