We need to unite and stand by Corbyn and his leadership team to win the change we want to see
It has never been more important to back Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership of Labour, writes MATT WILLGRESS

ON July 13, less than a month ago, Jeremy Corbyn spoke to over 250,000 people at the Together Against Trump demo in Trafalgar Square. 

This was not some opportunist manoeuvre — Corbyn had opposed Theresa May’s kow-towing to Donald Trump since the president’s election and has been a stalwart of many of the movements that called the demonstration, including movements against racism and for refugees’ rights. 

Indeed, Corbyn’s first act as Labour leader was to speak at a national demonstration in favour of the rights of refugees.
