Peake: Corbyn can put Labour on track
Award-winning actor backs leftwinger to end bully Britain

JEREMY CORBYN won star support for his surging Labour leadership campaign yesterday from socialist actor Maxine Peake.

In a statement on her website, Ms Peake said the left candidate was giving hope to both his party and people targeted for Tory cuts.

“For me, Jeremy Corbyn is our only beacon of hope to get the Labour Party back on track, get the electorate back in touch with politics and save this country from the constant mindless bullying of the vulnerable and poor,” she wrote.
