Brilliant podcast with JC .I dont know what the future holds buts us Scousers want to thank Jeremy Corbyn for given us hope in them few years. now the Labour party back in the hands of the right wing establishment with Sir Keith leading the party who could put a glass eye to sleep 😴

Fabulous. Love Jeremy (and Alexei!) I grew up with no massive political education or knowledge and just lived ‘Labour Good - Tories Bad’ Jeremy’s leadership changed that and changed me, opening my eyes to centrism and the right wing of the Labour Party. I want the compassion and equality Jeremy in a leader.
He opened your eyes to Centrism and the right wing of the Labour Party? Not the anti-semite, pro radical islamist element, grooming gang in Labour run councils that has dogged Labour Party politics for decades?
I’ve really enjoyed this podcast. As a result I’ve just joined Peace and Justice Campaign. The left need to have a new home. The 7 unions need to create a real socialist party. The Labour Party, organised or not, is not going to produce another Corbyn. Corbyn’s leadership was a fluke. It wasn’t due to the hard work of the left in the party. If it was just about hard work the left would have been leading the party for years.
@@oneoflokis Because that what the party was called under Hardie, Henderson, McDonald, Anderson, Lansbury, Attlee, Gaitskell, Wilson, Callaghan, Foot, Kinnock, Smith, Blair, Brown and Milliband. If you dont support Labour unless the particular individual you support is in charge, then you dont support actually Labour and would be definitely be happier in one of the fringe far-left pressure groups that have always existed, without having any real effect or influence on Britain.

Brilliant Podcast. and what a guest, how you going to top that? When 2019 was lost and Keith became leader, I really had been in a dark place. All hope was gone. Honestly listening to this podcast has brought a little light back. I have joined up to the P&J Project. I doubt that I will see the changes I want in my lifetime, but people like Mr Corbyn give me hope. I can look into the eyes of my (very) new Great Grandchildren and feel hope for their future
Great episode. I think people are only now beginning to realise the scale of the disaster that they inflicted on themselves in 2019. Please do keep going with the podcast.

"When it matters, social media isn't there. As in the Indian farmers' case... Just when they were winning. Mysteriously, on their street, it all stopped working." Very trenchant point by Jeremy Corbyn!! We need to fight to end censorship on social media, and render it accountable. 👍

If we, the people are to "end censorship...and render it accountable", how are we to do this when it is governments that can decide who can access what and when...?
The only person I've met who expressed any real form of hatred towards Jeremy was a Cambridge educated Guardian journalist who disliked him because he hadn't been to University. And now we have an Etonian Oxford Classicist and 160,000 dead.
Thank you Alexi for this. Such a refreshing piece of honesty. Such a shame the vast majority of the voting public will never understand what was going on. Jeremy is still the most inspiring MP in Parliament.
Thank you for everything JC, great to hear you speak...I am no longer in the labour party. I was prepared for a lurch to the right, and would have stayed had Starmer followed up on the promises he made, the party is not at present sufficiently representative of my values politically and morally. I understand those who refuse to leave and fight on, but Im done and homeless until something diffierent happens. LAbour is no longer the people's party...
I was given a leaflet in Westminster Square as JC walked past me, newspaper under his arm, looking rather concerned and serious. I then attended as many of his public speeches as I could. I was very impressed and began to feel hope at last. It was exciting to witness his popularity growing. Then the vicious persecution began and I knew it would be relentless. We lost our chance for real change, however thankfully he is still alive whereas had he become PM, I really believe his life would have been in danger.
Don't waste your time - the party is dead - support Jeremy as an independent - that's the way it will be going - that's the only way it can go - that is our only hope !
Glorious listening to Alexei rip into all the scumbags, with all the hate & swearing they deserve & Jeremy just carries on in his calm, polite, generous way.
Thank you, Alexei, for having Jeremy on your podcast. Thank you, Jeremy Corbyn, for everything you have done for democratic Socialism. Thank you for leading the Labour Party for nearly four years. Unfortunately, that was not for long enough. (Neil Kinnock, who won no general elections and came close to winning none, was leader for 9 years.) I sincerely wish you had not stepped down, as this has left the Party leadership to the tender mercies of that snake in the grass, Keir Starmer, who has treated you so badly. 😞👎 I only wish that the Labour Party would not only get rid of Starmer, who is a political waste of space, but that you would be reinstated - and also as Leader, as well as MP. 🙏 (You must definitely fight the next general election, no matter what. As an Independent, if need be. UK politics cannot afford to lose you. 😀👍) But I know very well what Alexei Sayle means, about the horrendous pressure you were under, sir. From our atrocious MSM among others. 👎
You hit the nail on the head there Alexei - Jeremy gave me a reason to join the Labour Party - Starmer has given me countless reasons to leave - and as it stands, I can't even imagine voting for the party (despite a long life as a Labour voter). Big success that Starmer - eh?
Jeremy and Ken being kicked out was the last straw for me ive cancelled my membership and think we need a new party. After all we not going to win for maybe 8 years its time
That's how I feel. Proto-fascism of the ERG and Brexit will have to work its course, which will be rather short given the fucking shitshow so far. Use this to build a Socialist Party to outflank Labour.
Yes, Billy - absolutely brilliant - inspiring and courageous - what a man, to have endured such a vindictive onslaught from all these spineless cowards and still be able to speak with such eloquence, wit and humour - and hats off to Alexei as well for not selling out.
To put some names to people who were put out by Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership. Who were shown not to be left or liberal: lots of people in the LP; Watson obviously. But also people like Hugh Dennis, Richard Herring and lots of other comedians on Mock The Week, HIGNFY and The News Quiz.
i work in a care home and the Residents complain about carrots but there is a one who says they make your eyes shine. Jarvis Cocker said he was grateful for the Dole because it allowed him to discover his art.
I could never understand what people had against Jeremy Corbyn. I voted for him because he was a true Labour man, unfortunately Kier Starmer had other ideas for the Labour Party, more Blair policies, which suited the Tories. There was a huge conspiracy against Jeremy Corbyn. He would have been the saviour of the Labour Party, he represented the ordinary man and women, which was the reason the Party was originally formed.
Well, he wanted to nationalise everything. That'd be awful, and what lost him his position. Remember how awful BR was, and the GPO when you had to rent an ancient tech phone off them (and it took them 6 months to connect it)? Lots of high tech (for the time) phones available but the GPO wouldn't let you connect those to its network. I was a computer engineer back in the 70s and our (US) computers had built in comms technology but we weren't allowed to use it in UK. We had to rent at great cost far inferior massive grey boxes off the GPO (modems) instead! Extra cost, lower performance! The state doesn't usually do it better than the experts in the field.
@@gzk6nk explain NHS versus US private health cover please. Also under investment by unwilling govt and State owned entities are just as bad as the private water companies etc causing supply, billing, stormwater and environmental problems. Except in a democracy you're supposed to be able to change that. Not enough grass roots democracy that's all, and a government less cowed by capitalist international money, IMF, free market and austerity economics would be nice...
@@gzk6nk and no he didn't want to nationalize "everything"... just a handful of major entities "for the many not just the few" ie not for private profit ripping people off with high prices, poor service and under investment like the life important ones of water and energy...
I've tried to explain to my dear old Mum many times that JC isn't what the Red-Top press, and the broadsheets, and mainstream TV, and social media algorithms, and the gammon next door neighbor says he is.
My mum had been a Labour supporter pretty much constantly, until Corbyn, when I asked "why won't you be voting for Corbyn?" she just said "there's something about him", in other words, the insidious media machine had done its job in smearing Jeremy and planting seeds of doubt. And this is without the use of social media, I can only imagine the level of negative propaganda being dished out there, I don't touch the stuff myself, this is about as close I get to it. :)
@@oneoflokis Somewhat. What frustrates me is that my Mum is not a dumb-dumb, but, as I also explained to her, people don't often have the time or inclination to critically think about media they consume.
@@saxglend9439 Truly, you are so WISE, Sax - and so correct!! To say that socialists are all babies!! Why, without YOUR wisdom - and Nigel Farage'sc- WHERE would we all be?? 😏😏 FYI: There are three men who are said to have greatly changed the world's "mindscape" (and therefore, world history), during the later 19th and the early 20th century. One of those men was the Socialist/communist Karl Marx. The others were Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud. I'm sure you know all about the latter two and their work, seeing as you are so clever! 😏
I marched through Liverpool with Jeremy that day, he’s right. The people ADORED him. He couldn’t take one step without someone stopping and begging to shake his hand, me included, just to thank him. He got absolutely mobbed like the Saint he is. And he stopped and spoke to EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Jeremy Corbyn has changed the world and the world will keep changing - he's infected the planet with hope and it will germinate and grow - it's an unstoppable force - may the force be with you
It’s nice to be able to hear JC convey his views without distortion or interruption and he does offer some little behind the scenes points here and there. But as Alexei says, the LP has and continues to be an organisation to stifle working class organisation and preoccupy them with procedural tedium. This is the bureaucracy JC inherited and it does have to be admired how far the left were able push boundaries particularly in 2017. However, without a sober understanding of the suffocating nature of labourism, even principled people like JC become its prisoner. It ushered him into compromise after compromise after compromise. By 2019, the popular good will was gone as people realised that if he couldn’t take on even the unpopular LP right wing, how on earth could he possibly take on the power of the media and big business in government? The right wing are always willing to fight much harder than the left ever can and that is why they will always control the Labour Party. They have no sentimental attachment and they will sabotage, split and even risk destroying the party itself. If the LP ever gets a left leaning leader again, it needs to learn some vital lessons from the Corbyn era. - As Alexei says, they will need a much more ferocious media strategy that is willing to fire back with greater conviction. - any hint of libellous slander from the PLP such as Margaret Hodge etc should be met with a very public threat of legal action. It wouldn’t stop them from undermining the leader, but would make them much more cautious and force them to break cover and have to reveal their position/true nature in public - instigate mandatory reselection in order to clear out the Blairites and ensure proper class activists are rising through the Labour Party machine. Even the post 2017 shadow cabinet had some wretched cretins in there. KS being the most notable example. Even if the leader were to fail, it would mean the left after them would have a chance to regroup - even be critical of the left managerial and TU bureaucrat types who pose as your false friend. They have limited connection with the working class and will usher the leader into all kinds of opportunistic compromises. It will make it very hard to go beyond a well meaning (perhaps) but narrow and unreliable PMC layer as your base of social support. There are dozens of other areas the left needs to address before it can even consider having an influence inside or outside of labour again. But without accepting and implementing these absolute basics, it is fated to its role of legitimising the party’s rightward slide. Never doing anything that could really make the leadership think twice. Consuming a lot of good comrades’ time in bureaucratic manoeuvrings. Patting itself on the back for some Tony Benn impersonations in parliament. Spouting platitudes at mostly London centred rallies. And diminishing its own standing and dignity between a wanton right wing leadership and increasingly alienated working class base. JC et al are fine and principled individuals, but the working class can’t thank them for nearly obtaining power. Especially when it is clear as day, particularly post-Brexit, they could have gone all the way to burying the Tories, both within and without.
Legal action needs to be taken now (where possible) against people who have already slandered in order to set down a marker if opportunity arises again in the future (e.g. when Starmer ups the nihilism levels after first winning an election due to public incandescence then subsequently losing the next for basically minding the Tory fort)
@@PORRRIDGE_GUN it’s one tactic in a whole array that was open to the Corbyn leadership that they failed to pursue. And actually, the threat of legal action made Tory MP, Ben Bradley have to apologise and backdown from Corbyn. A similar strategy not only would have made the labour right retreat to some degree, but signal to all the former disenchanted labour voters that the party was changing and worth fighting for
"In the absence of an alternative the left should remain within the Labour Party..." says Karie Murphy from the Gorbals. Luckily there is an alternative for some within the UK. The fact is if just 10% of Union backing Scottish Labour voters had voted for independence there would be a European, Social Democratic party here right now. Too many Labour voters are loyal to the party rather than the cause.
I am conflicted as to whether to remain a member of the Labour Party. At the moment, I am keeping my membership but have recently started an ill-advised affair with the Greens.
Probably the most open politician in my life time. He has guts. Not many would have come out of the other side of that vicious onslaught from the PLP and the media. He can get his points across without one swear word as well and is never drawn into personal abuse. Yes sorry, I'm a Boring old woman who also swears but mainly in house and at the Tv. Great podcast though. Thanks. Will check out others.
Keep swearing at the TV Pat, it's all a load of shit anyway - I rarely pay any attention to the BBC these days - there are better alternatives - and what's more you definitely are not boring !
unlike Merryl Streep , who keeps in contact with reality, by doing her own dishes, Alexi kept in touch with reality by having his face shoved in the mud ! Much RESPECT !!
I only joined the Labour Party because of JC. Went to see him speak when he came to my town. Was energised and full of hope for a Labour government and then it went to shit. I quit my membership last year, now politically homeless and disillusioned with it all. I think we will be stuck with the tories for many years to come. JC is the best Prime Minister we never had. 😔
15:20- quite amused to note that like me, Jeremy Corbyn can't read his own writing. But I also find the process of writing puts it in my mind so I can say what I want to say later. I keep my notes for when I'm making videos, but while I do look at them, I can't really read what they're saying much.

Thank you Alexi for this. Such a refreshing piece of honesty. Such a shame the vast majority of the voting public will never understand what was going on. Jeremy is still the most inspiring MP in Parliament.
Yeah, because he has 100% integrity unlike the shape-shifting Starmer
Superb!
Great hearing this! ✊❤️☮️💜#ThePeaceAndJusticeProject
Thank you.
Thank you for everything JC, great to hear you speak...I am no longer in the labour party. I was prepared for a lurch to the right, and would have stayed had Starmer followed up on the promises he made, the party is not at present sufficiently representative of my values politically and morally. I understand those who refuse to leave and fight on, but Im done and homeless until something diffierent happens. LAbour is no longer the people's party...
Jeremy, would love to meet you.Please run again.
Hear hear!! 👏
Brilliant interview
I was given a leaflet in Westminster Square as JC walked past me, newspaper under his arm, looking rather concerned and serious. I then attended as many of his public speeches as I could. I was very impressed and began to feel hope at last. It was exciting to witness his popularity growing. Then the vicious persecution began and I knew it would be relentless. We lost our chance for real change, however thankfully he is still alive whereas had he become PM, I really believe his life would have been in danger.
That was fantastic Alexei, can't wait for your podcast about what eventuates in Brighton.
A load of 💩💩💩, you can be bound!!
#KeepOMOV - pass it on!!
Thank you xx
i am sharing this with my local clp
Don't waste your time - the party is dead - support Jeremy as an independent - that's the way it will be going - that's the only way it can go - that is our only hope !
Filled me with hope. Thank you. I got very emotional. Keir Starmer doesn't represent the real Labour Party.
Well..clearly he actually does because he was voted in by the the Labour Party membership.
Glorious listening to Alexei rip into all the scumbags, with all the hate & swearing they deserve & Jeremy just carries on in his calm, polite, generous way.
Thank you, Alexei, for having Jeremy on your podcast.
Thank you, Jeremy Corbyn, for everything you have done for democratic Socialism.
Thank you for leading the Labour Party for nearly four years. Unfortunately, that was not for long enough. (Neil Kinnock, who won no general elections and came close to winning none, was leader for 9 years.)
I sincerely wish you had not stepped down, as this has left the Party leadership to the tender mercies of that snake in the grass, Keir Starmer, who has treated you so badly. 😞👎
I only wish that the Labour Party would not only get rid of Starmer, who is a political waste of space, but that you would be reinstated - and also as Leader, as well as MP.
🙏
(You must definitely fight the next general election, no matter what. As an Independent, if need be. UK politics cannot afford to lose you. 😀👍)
But I know very well what Alexei Sayle means, about the horrendous pressure you were under, sir.
From our atrocious MSM among others. 👎
Should have asked him to lead the creation of a new party for the people!
Yes indeed!!
Yes and call it the socialist wankers party
😂😂😂😂
why was I not already following this channel?
I know, what an oversight! I hit the sub button immediately.
Brilliant.
Enjoyed this msssively.
more hope, thank you
You hit the nail on the head there Alexei - Jeremy gave me a reason to join the Labour Party - Starmer has given me countless reasons to leave - and as it stands, I can't even imagine voting for the party (despite a long life as a Labour voter). Big success that Starmer - eh?
What a great podcast. It gives me hope.
that was fkn brilliant!! thank you
Jeremy and Ken being kicked out was the last straw for me ive cancelled my membership and think we need a new party.
After all we not going to win for maybe 8 years its time
That's how I feel. Proto-fascism of the ERG and Brexit will have to work its course, which will be rather short given the fucking shitshow so far. Use this to build a Socialist Party to outflank Labour.
agree, it might even be 10 years..
Absolutely brilliant.
Yes, Billy - absolutely brilliant - inspiring and courageous - what a man, to have endured such a vindictive onslaught from all these spineless cowards and still be able to speak with such eloquence, wit and humour - and hats off to Alexei as well for not selling out.
To put some names to people who were put out by Jeremy Corbyn’s leadership. Who were shown not to be left or liberal: lots of people in the LP; Watson obviously. But also people like Hugh Dennis, Richard Herring and lots of other comedians on Mock The Week, HIGNFY and The News Quiz.
And J K Rowling.
Quite. Most of the comedian contingent of Radio 4!
One of the few politicians with principles based on honesty and facts
Very disappointed to not find out if J.C. had ever played d&d. Otherwise, excellent. 😀
i work in a care home and the Residents complain about carrots but there is a one who says they make your eyes shine.
Jarvis Cocker said he was grateful for the Dole because it allowed him to discover his art.
I could never understand what people had against Jeremy Corbyn. I voted for him because he was a true Labour man, unfortunately Kier Starmer had other ideas for the Labour Party, more Blair policies, which suited the Tories. There was a huge conspiracy against Jeremy Corbyn. He would have been the saviour of the Labour Party, he represented the ordinary man and women, which was the reason the Party was originally formed.
Exactly!! 🙂👍
@Futures The Left should have its own newspaper, both online and print version. (And it should do bingo!!)
Well, he wanted to nationalise everything. That'd be awful, and what lost him his position. Remember how awful BR was, and the GPO when you had to rent an ancient tech phone off them (and it took them 6 months to connect it)? Lots of high tech (for the time) phones available but the GPO wouldn't let you connect those to its network. I was a computer engineer back in the 70s and our (US) computers had built in comms technology but we weren't allowed to use it in UK. We had to rent at great cost far inferior massive grey boxes off the GPO (modems) instead! Extra cost, lower performance! The state doesn't usually do it better than the experts in the field.
@@gzk6nk explain NHS versus US private health cover please.
Also under investment by unwilling govt and State owned entities are just as bad as the private water companies etc causing supply, billing, stormwater and environmental problems.
Except in a democracy you're supposed to be able to change that. Not enough grass roots democracy that's all, and a government less cowed by capitalist international money, IMF, free market and austerity economics would be nice...
@@gzk6nk and no he didn't want to nationalize "everything"... just a handful of major entities "for the many not just the few" ie not for private profit ripping people off with high prices, poor service and under investment like the life important ones of water and energy...
Brilliant!!
I've tried to explain to my dear old Mum many times that JC isn't what the Red-Top press, and the broadsheets, and mainstream TV, and social media algorithms, and the gammon next door neighbor says he is.
My mum had been a Labour supporter pretty much constantly, until Corbyn, when I asked "why won't you be voting for Corbyn?" she just said "there's something about him", in other words, the insidious media machine had done its job in smearing Jeremy and planting seeds of doubt.
And this is without the use of social media, I can only imagine the level of negative propaganda being dished out there, I don't touch the stuff myself, this is about as close I get to it. :)
Had any success, at all??
"You could feel the love in the streets. It was tangible" brought a tear to my eye. Brilliant discussion, thanks.
@@oneoflokis Somewhat. What frustrates me is that my Mum is not a dumb-dumb, but, as I also explained to her, people don't often have the time or inclination to critically think about media they consume.
@@gavinbuck8130 I pretty just use social media to promote my RUclips channel, or rant when I get blottoed.
Awesome!
Excellent!
START A NEW PARTY JEREMY x
We had New Labour :( Now there is Blue Labour :( The future - True Labour
P E A C E : )
Apparently David Evans asked why people joined the Labour party... crowd responded by singing "Oh Jeremy Corbyn" :)
Yeah, I loved that - Evans couldn't find an answer to that one - ha ! ha !
Thank you good men. Sanity.
Amazing- the only decent man in politics.
Love this!.
Loved this podcast with Jeremy Corbyn, a true socialist. Shame on Starmer & his right wing stooges.
May they drown in infamy!! 👎
Snakes!! 🐍🐍🐍
#StarmerOut
Socialists are infantile fantasists
@@saxglend9439 Truly, you are so WISE, Sax - and so correct!! To say that socialists are all babies!! Why, without YOUR wisdom - and Nigel Farage'sc- WHERE would we all be?? 😏😏
FYI: There are three men who are said to have greatly changed the world's "mindscape" (and therefore, world history), during the later 19th and the early 20th century. One of those men was the Socialist/communist Karl Marx. The others were Charles Darwin and Sigmund Freud. I'm sure you know all about the latter two and their work, seeing as you are so clever! 😏
@@oneoflokis The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense, not between right and wrong.
@@saxglend9439 How is that comment relevant to socialism, or to anything I've said?
I suppose you'll be telling me you don't believe in evolution now!
Linda made some great points ❤️
I marched through Liverpool with Jeremy that day, he’s right. The people ADORED him. He couldn’t take one step without someone stopping and begging to shake his hand, me included, just to thank him. He got absolutely mobbed like the Saint he is.
And he stopped and spoke to EVERY SINGLE ONE.
Jeremy Corbyn has changed the world and the world will keep changing - he's infected the planet with hope and it will germinate and grow - it's an unstoppable force - may the force be with you
Well said - we are an unstoppable force !
Love from NZ Jeremy Corbyn. Dirty bloody politics 😭
As if Corbyn isn't a politician...
Best bit of the podcast 1:21:43
;)
To the legend they call Jeremy.
It's good you're going to Brighton and make speeches.
START A RUclips CHANNEL AND REACH MILLIONS.
Love JC best PM we never had courtesy of the bitterites and saboteurs
He was cheated in the election of that i am sure.
Move on for God's sake. The man was an electoral distaster.
@@johnnystacatto9858 nothings changed then
It’s nice to be able to hear JC convey his views without distortion or interruption and he does offer some little behind the scenes points here and there. But as Alexei says, the LP has and continues to be an organisation to stifle working class organisation and preoccupy them with procedural tedium. This is the bureaucracy JC inherited and it does have to be admired how far the left were able push boundaries particularly in 2017.
However, without a sober understanding of the suffocating nature of labourism, even principled people like JC become its prisoner. It ushered him into compromise after compromise after compromise. By 2019, the popular good will was gone as people realised that if he couldn’t take on even the unpopular LP right wing, how on earth could he possibly take on the power of the media and big business in government?
The right wing are always willing to fight much harder than the left ever can and that is why they will always control the Labour Party. They have no sentimental attachment and they will sabotage, split and even risk destroying the party itself.
If the LP ever gets a left leaning leader again, it needs to learn some vital lessons from the Corbyn era.
- As Alexei says, they will need a much more ferocious media strategy that is willing to fire back with greater conviction.
- any hint of libellous slander from the PLP such as Margaret Hodge etc should be met with a very public threat of legal action. It wouldn’t stop them from undermining the leader, but would make them much more cautious and force them to break cover and have to reveal their position/true nature in public
- instigate mandatory reselection in order to clear out the Blairites and ensure proper class activists are rising through the Labour Party machine. Even the post 2017 shadow cabinet had some wretched cretins in there. KS being the most notable example. Even if the leader were to fail, it would mean the left after them would have a chance to regroup
- even be critical of the left managerial and TU bureaucrat types who pose as your false friend. They have limited connection with the working class and will usher the leader into all kinds of opportunistic compromises. It will make it very hard to go beyond a well meaning (perhaps) but narrow and unreliable PMC layer as your base of social support.
There are dozens of other areas the left needs to address before it can even consider having an influence inside or outside of labour again. But without accepting and implementing these absolute basics, it is fated to its role of legitimising the party’s rightward slide. Never doing anything that could really make the leadership think twice. Consuming a lot of good comrades’ time in bureaucratic manoeuvrings. Patting itself on the back for some Tony Benn impersonations in parliament. Spouting platitudes at mostly London centred rallies. And diminishing its own standing and dignity between a wanton right wing leadership and increasingly alienated working class base.
JC et al are fine and principled individuals, but the working class can’t thank them for nearly obtaining power. Especially when it is clear as day, particularly post-Brexit, they could have gone all the way to burying the Tories, both within and without.
Legal action needs to be taken now (where possible) against people who have already slandered in order to set down a marker if opportunity arises again in the future (e.g. when Starmer ups the nihilism levels after first winning an election due to public incandescence then subsequently losing the next for basically minding the Tory fort)
@@clivedarwell5732 Yeah the Courts will right all the wrongs inflicted on the JC and the left. Because we all know how impartial and fair they are. 🙄
@@PORRRIDGE_GUN OK give up then
@@PORRRIDGE_GUN it’s one tactic in a whole array that was open to the Corbyn leadership that they failed to pursue. And actually, the threat of legal action made Tory MP, Ben Bradley have to apologise and backdown from Corbyn. A similar strategy not only would have made the labour right retreat to some degree, but signal to all the former disenchanted labour voters that the party was changing and worth fighting for
@@Dean_dialectic So you’re criticising Starmer for trying to purge the party but saying that Corbyn should have purged the party? Don’t get that…
"In the absence of an alternative the left should remain within the Labour Party..." says Karie Murphy from the Gorbals. Luckily there is an alternative for some within the UK. The fact is if just 10% of Union backing Scottish Labour voters had voted for independence there would be a European, Social Democratic party here right now. Too many Labour voters are loyal to the party rather than the cause.
I am conflicted as to whether to remain a member of the Labour Party. At the moment, I am keeping my membership but have recently started an ill-advised affair with the Greens.
This guy...this guy...what a treasure, what a storehouse of socialist history and thinking. I'm an atheist, but you know, God bless you Jeremy Corbyn.
Probably the most open politician in my life time. He has guts. Not many would have come out of the other side of that vicious onslaught from the PLP and the media. He can get his points across without one swear word as well and is never drawn into personal abuse. Yes sorry, I'm a Boring old woman who also swears but mainly in house and at the Tv. Great podcast though. Thanks. Will check out others.
Keep swearing at the TV Pat, it's all a load of shit anyway - I rarely pay any attention to the BBC these days - there are better alternatives - and what's more you definitely are not boring !
Do you get your hair cut by the council? Hahaha classic 🤣
unlike Merryl Streep , who keeps in contact with reality, by doing her own dishes, Alexi kept in touch with reality by having his face shoved in the mud ! Much RESPECT !!
She can come and do mine for once; I’m getting a bit too much reality atm.
@@AtheistEve my favorite Alexi line from the Policeman,s ball !
I only joined the Labour Party because of JC. Went to see him speak when he came to my town. Was energised and full of hope for a Labour government and then it went to shit. I quit my membership last year, now politically homeless and disillusioned with it all. I think we will be stuck with the tories for many years to come. JC is the best Prime Minister we never had. 😔
this has ignited me again, as every grain of earth has history, each one has a voice, listen to the grains
More hope please? My name is persian for hope, it's like you summoned me over the internet...
15:20- quite amused to note that like me, Jeremy Corbyn can't read his own writing. But I also find the process of writing puts it in my mind so I can say what I want to say later. I keep my notes for when I'm making videos, but while I do look at them, I can't really read what they're saying much.
Up the workers! Comrades!
well said Jeremy
Never mind The Daily Mail. What about The Guardian?
That this man was accused of racism demonstrates how absurd the state and media have become
The bourgeoisie have always been delusional. It's part of their class interest.
Quite!
