The stage is set for Corbyn to conquer
THOUSANDS flocked to see Jeremy Corbyn speak at Glastonbury over the weekend and he draws huge crowds wherever he goes. He is the only person who can lead us out of the wilderness to a new land – one of hope for working people who deserve a lot better.
Roll on the next election. Bill Cook, Teignmouth, Devon # I didn’t see Jeremy Corbyn at Glastonbury, but he got my vote in the election and he will continue to get it. Hopefully, if another election is called, he will win as he is about the people and not all about himself and the rich elite. Tim Symes, Devon # We’ve had two hung Parliaments in just seven years and, if you include the referendum, Britain has gone to the polls three times in just over two years. That’s extremely unhealthy and it has resulted in many twists and turns. Britain has clearly lost its way and needs a new direction. Blair said socialism is outdated. If that was the case, so many young voters wouldn’t be supporting Jeremy Corbyn and this latest trend is a clear indication socialism is on the way back. It’s Blairism and neo-liberalism that’s outdated. Eric Thorpe, Salford, Greater Manchester # It’s no surprise to see that far right Tory David Davis is calling for Theresa May to stay. He knows as well as I do that Jeremy Corbyn would win by a landslide if there was another general election tomorrow. I always knew Corbyn would increase Labour’s vote, which was lost by Tony Blair’s warmongering and ‘Tory’ policies. Steven McNamara, Middlesbrough # I was under the impression Worthy Farm in Somerset was a dairy business, but the sight of 175,000 bleating sycophants worshipping our so-called new Prime Minister ‘Saint’ Jeremy Corbyn made me pause for thought.
Maybe Tony Blair’s Cool Britannia might remind a few as to what happens when naive popular music decides to lionise a member of the political elite.
I suspect when our “new Prime Minister” decides to hike taxation to punitive levels and wrecks the economy by driving business overseas, the idea of spending £238 for a Glastonbury ticket will be a dream for most of the Corbynistas. James Rush, London # I am a Labour supporter and voted for the party in the recent elections, but I am horrified at the way Jeremy Corbyn and John McDonnell are behaving over the horrific fire at the Grenfell Tower block. It appears to me they are playing on people’s grief to gain political ground when they should be urging people to remain calm. There is a time and place for recriminations and for making political gains, but using this fire as an excuse for these gains is not one of them. Dulcie Farmer Harwich, Essex # I don’t like Jeremy Corbyn and I don’t trust him, especially with the security of the country. His manifesto promises were purely to win votes. With a respected moderate leader, Labour may well be in power now. Come on you moderate Labour MPs, begin the fightback and win back our trust. We need you. Gerald Matthews Middlesbrough
