I created one of the campaign election videos for Labour, and Jeremy Corbyn,
This is a new version of Emeli Sande, Hope "You Are Not Alone
You can see the video here.

Full statement for the above here https://labour.org.uk/press/full-text-of-jeremy-corbyns-speech-in-northampton/Jeremys speech.But if I told you those aren’t my words but the damning verdict of the United Nations, no less, you get a sense of the damage wrought by nine years of Tory austerity.Their policy of Universal Credit pushes people into the jaws of loan sharks forces proud men and women to depend on food banks and turfs families out of their homes.
The Tories promised it would make work pay. But more and more people who are falling into poverty have jobs.
A Labour goverment will change the whole culture of the DWP. It will become the Department for Social Security to give people dignity and respect.
Social security shouldn’t be about forcing women into the indignity of having to fill out a four-page form to prove their child was born as a result of rape as 500 women had to do last year.
Labour will scrap Universal Credit and introduce an emergency package to immediately end its worst aspects. Ending the benefit cap and the two child limit, which alone will stop up to 300,000 children being pushed into poverty.
And, yes, that means the end of the disgusting rape clause.
We’ll end the five week wait for the first payment, end the Tories’ vicious sanctions regime, end the bedroom tax and – because we’re committed to reducing poverty – we’ll end the benefit freeze.
We’ll control welfare spending by tackling low pay and insecure work … and rip-off rents. Social security shouldn’t be subsidising bad employers and greedy landlords.
Left Marsha & right Margaret.

@woodbine I think you will find many things have changed and this is what will happen, I'am a campaigner and I get the facts that's what will happen.woodbine said:It should be understood that Labour plan to change the worst aspects of UC not abolish it immediately, this was made clear a few weeks ago by their DWP shadow minister on C4 news, it is a little disingenuous to suggest they aim to abolish UC as a priority.
@kensplace Jeremy has not got to apologise what a previous Labour government did, also bear in mind Labour did not have anything to do with Universal Credit nor PIP that was the Tory's that created them, although former Labour did create the Work capability assessment "WCA" and used privatisation firms for medical assessments, which then when tories came to power used and forced austerity, thus also then creating a very hostile environment for disabled and vulnerable, added along with TV programmes like benefits street etc.kensplace said:corbyn - until he apologises for being in a party that actually implemented the stuff that is killing people now, is scum in my eyes..........
The state pension age is set to rise to 75 over the next 16 years — based on a plan by new PM Boris Jonson ’s favourite think tank.
It would go up to 70 just nine years from now as the change is phased in.

So no, Jeremy is not to blame for this.
