Callum Gordon Already a member. I joined before I even knew who Corbyn was. I joined because I knew that the only hope we have for the next 5 years is a decent socialist Labour party to oppose Tory austerity...
I have now seen enough of Jeremy Corbyn to know he stands with me on most issue I feel strongly on, not least of which, TTIP. The more I read of these secret deals the more I am terrified.
Is Corbyn Pro or Anti EU - the ultimate trade deal YES or NO? In this video he is make a case against free trade agreements. I think he is a bit confused
+Nigel Wyatt Jeremy Corbyn is against TTIP and similar free trade agreements dreamed up and promoted by the USA for the benefit of global corporations. Continued membership of the European Union is a totally different question. Many good pieces of legislation have come from the EU in the past (for example in the areas of employment, the environment and competition law) and could, with a different set of lawmakers in power, continue to do so. But not right now. All Western governments control their own news agenda and act in concert with their friends: by controlling agendas and schedules, and by drowning out alternative debates. David Cameron has dragged the referendum on the EU forward in order to hide TTIP and ISDS. This deception is called "news management". It's legal, and we have to fight it!
+Una Hodgkins "TTIP and similar free trade agreements dreamed up and promoted by the USA for the benefit of global corporations." - No they are not. "European Union is a totally different question" - No it is not. Both are about free trade. TTIP is promoted by the EU and will only be ratified if all EU Governments agree to it. "All Western governments control their own news agenda and act in concert" - That is what conspiracy theorist want you believe. "David Cameron has dragged the referendum on the EU forward in order to hide TTIP and ISDS" - No was not - "TTIP is the best chance of reforming ISDS - if you are against ISDS you should support TTIP". You are badly informed - what conspiracy theory websites do you use for your news?
I see the seats were packed full of hard working MPs that day.
