I quit labour because of Corbyn, he was never a leader. Forget all this sour grapes, I knocked on thousands of doors for labour and at least 60% of people said they would not vote labour because they didn’t like what said and wouldn’t while Corbyn remained as leader
I agree with you on everything in this except one thing, we need to create a new progressive party...now! there is no chance of me ever voting for Labour ever again the trust has gone never again because the party's top level is full of spooks, crooks and they are not going to just up sticks and leave!
I'm not a fan of some of his state-socialist ideas, I believe community control is a better way, but I would have been dancing in joy had he been put at the helm, simply to see an honourable person there for once.
@@dama9150 I think you will find that he was in favour of co-operatives in many cases but he was in favour of state run commodities which is not a bad idea as things like water should not be in the hands of for-profit organisations.
@@tonybennett4159 I think that came more from John, who had a keen interest in projects like Preston. I feel more strongly about him not becoming chancellor than even what happened to Jeremy.
The real left in the UK has - in deadly seriousness - to learn the lesson that real change ipso facto is NOT something that is ever 'permitted' but something which is demanded! Even more imo, the old saying that if voting (alone) could change anything it would be made illegal. Historically there have been rare exceptions (though even they in the long run were crushed). In the present day UK the system is completely rigged and extraordinarily powerfully manipulated and controlled. The left needs to abandon once and for ever its one and only failed strategy and develop a realpolitik approach to power and transformation. Time is short and repression vs desperation is ratcheting up at a constantly accelerated pace.
@SB True, but I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going to have to hold my nose and vote for them anyway ... because, thanks to our "first past the post" electoral system, any abstentions or votes for alternative parties only divide the anti-Tory vote and hand the Tories a win. It sucks, it really does - I despise Starmer for how he's treated Corbyn - but it's the system we're saddled with, and we either operate within it or accept 5 more years of Tory rule.
People need to get off their asses and get involved with their governance and thus social development. Not just for the mainly wicked uber rich but BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. Not just for the advantage of the rich.
I fell for the red scare at the time unfortunately, I admit I was wrong now. I’m still socially conservative but I can’t support right wing economics anymore.
I’ve always voted for the Green Party. Jeremy was the first Labour leader I believed in and I joined the Labour Party because I believed in his policies and his message. I even crocheted roses and sold them to raise money to pay to join and vote for him. I’m so sad that he has been treated so badly and yet there is silence in the media about it.
No offence but why vote for a party that never has any chance of winning ? Brexit party voters changed to conservative because they knew that was the only way.
Saw Jeremy a couple of months ago, riding the tube, no security, no entourage, just in the company of a few friends, like any other Londoner. He would have been so good for the UK and in my mind Britain would not be in the mess it is now had he been given a chance. It is disgusting what the media and certain elements within the Labour Party did to him. So good to hear he is still going to fight the good fight. Hope beyond hope, he gets another chance to play a major role in government.
I saw him in Islington at a little garden party anyone could attend. On my way out I saw him. I was a bit shy my partner kept saying " go say hi" and you could see he was totally receptive I just didn't. Long story short he seems human and still has a soul most of the others across the globe and in power don't 🤷🏾♀️ To a certain degree I am glad he is not in office they would eat him for breakfast. They are savages!!!!
@@tatucorreia you need to see him in the 80s and 90s he was more vocal then. I do agree not because they would make mincemeat if him but because of the threat made from one of the USA government that Corbyn would not get inside No 10 and like the plot to kill Assange it was very real.
Jeremy has been the only reliable, decent, trustworthy, honest MP in my lifetime who was ever in a position to become PM and change things for the better... and of course 'they' wouldn't let it happen. It's sickening, and is just one of many clear signs of how fucked up and wrong everything is.
I've always remembered him as a decent sort, Ive not heard of him doing shady things, or taking money for forming party and never doing it, and taking the money etc. you remember who vote for what, and who do and say and never follow up or backtrack etc.
Live in NZ buf have followed the likes of Corbyn and Sanders avidly over the years. Knew a bunch of well connected labour party members here. Tried to discuss the progressive politics of Corbyn with them but was met with out and out derision. All based on information fed to them by mainstream media, including that anti-Semitism narrative. Incredible that even educated so called left leaning well intentioned people can be so gullible, and obviously not that bright.
This man, this REAL man, was our only hope of a better country and a better world. The system is absolutely fucked up, you're so right. I think we maybe, us socialists, have a defiant streak az we will not be told what to think by the super rich and their minions. They can fuck right off.
Jeremy was a glimmer of hope in a very dark world. What has become very obvious is that we cannot vote out way out of this mess. We need to take direct action.
It actually hurts physically thinking of the hope we all had back then and how things are now. Seeing this man get destroyed and who now leads the Labour party has left me feeling there really is no way out of this. We're all going to suffer the rise of fascism again because even with all the historical warnings we failed the test
Corbyn's race hate "labour" party was-by your definition-fascist. (Find out about momentum's use of fascist political practice against the highly respected Jas Athwal in Ilford in order to get the equally fascist bigot Tarry into the seat the locals wanted for Jas) Not to mention the DAMNING EHRC report. Thank god the intelligent UK electorate headed the fascist warnings of the past and totally rejected Corbyn.
Mr. Corbyn you are a man I backed and it pains me what happened to you and the disaster for this country. We still think you're a good man Sir and thank you for the input you're still giving. We still hold the same values as yourself and I've never been more ashamed of those that plotted or voted against you. Keep the good work up Sir, you're a credit to this nation 👍👏
If i were ever lucky enough to meet Jeremy, I'd give him the biggest hug and thank him for being him. Top man, who has inspired more people than he will ever know.
I have become so disillusioned with the Labour Party And politics in general since the Labour party officials with the aid of MSM did that HATCHET JOB on JC, that I want nothing more to do with the whole corrupt backstabbing lot of them!
I am still angry and that will take some time to go. Th Labour Party staffers and MPs destroyed hope and gave us Boris Johnson. I will never forgive any of them.
and some of his own party seemingly. As I voted Labour in that election, this ticks me off. Some of these would be a good fit for the Tory Party. Sad really. Divisions in the Labour Party lead to Tory governments.
not just the media...labour-lite/blairites are still at it. He simply oozes honesty...it is in every pore... He genuinely is "He who should have been"...
@@battybibliophile-Clare They don't have the right connections to get ahead in the Tory party, that's why they join the small c Conservative party. Like Keir Starmer.
@@battybibliophile-Clare absolutely, it’s a total disgrace. Not the Labour Party I was a member of. That will be my stance until it gets more how the majority old members voted for!
As an Australian geopolitical scientist of 35 years I believe you are the best U.K. Prime Minister that never was. Labour didn't deserve you, such was their abysmal behaviour and now the party is being led by a complete fraud better known as a block of wood. I wish you every success in your future endeavours.
If that's your response then you've wasted 35 years of your life and learned nothing. Your sheltered middle class upbringing in a posh school landed you your non job in "Geopolitical science" with loads of cash for being a smug Howard Kirk wanna be. The real world and work would kill you. An intelligent electorate who ignore "Geopolitical science" rejected the piece of political racist garbage that is Corbyn
My only criticism of JC was his over abundance of humility, understanding and compassion. He should have stood up and called out their shite. He should have stood for the referendum vote. He was set up and he seemed to capitulate. The greatest era that never was.
Ohhhhhhh how we all so badly need this good man right now- more than ever. I sooooo wish he could create a party - integrity is everything and no better example than him. The Labour Party are just tories by another name. It’s ruined. We need a fresh start. It will be easier to let the right people in to serve the people, than it will to get the corrupted scum out of the Labour party. They are in bedded like festering ticks
I totally agree.im still heartbroken at how the tax avoiding,billionaire owned,racist corrupt media like murdoch's ' the sun',& dacres 'the daily mail 'orchestrated lies,together with the enemies within the labour party itself; to destroy this honest,principled ,thoroughly decent man,.so they can continue to bankrupt,& destroy this country,& the planet with disaster capitalism & denial of the climate emergency we are in..God protect JC.
@@Caitlin7142 You can make a new party, but growing it to the point it would be effective would take decades, maybe more Look at the Greens, and how long it has taken them to grow to the still modest level they are at now
@@markwelch3564 I 100% agree- that’s what is so sad and frustrating at the same time- but!!! On the other hand, the unprecedented times we are in right now, means that all of the Labour supporters are maybe not just Sick and tired of this; but their lives are at stake now! “Enough is Enough” could work if he boarded that ship - everyone would want to join and sail with them. Maybe greens could merge with them, they too are really good people
Was the most blatant illustration of how corrupt the media is when everyone was talking about something that clearly had no basis in reality. Imagine where we would be if we'd finally had a leader who had some values and wanted to do something. I have never experienced this in all my lifetime in 'G'B.
Yes, I've been wondering a lot lately if the corruption has got a lot worse, or if it was always this bad and I've only just realised. I'm still not sure.
I was screwed by labour in 1999. I gave the party a second chance, and unfortunately they screwed me in the worst way possible. I shall never trust them again.... Get lost Keir and crew. You're done.
Tony Benn was so right - you know who the establishment believe to be their biggest threat. The one they’re accusing abusing and defaming. No one got it like Jeremy. ‘Tells you everything you need to know’ as Tony would say. Agree with the person who said Jeremy is the ‘best prime minister we never had’ but they cut off before the end of the sentence... best prime minister we never had YET. So much love and respect for Jeremy-bravery always sits next to wisdom,, honesty and kindness. I quit Labour over this same as lot of other people - how can so many be without a representative whilst so few are choosing the next prime minister? Something really wrong here, and danger brewing in this country I think. It’s all to cock for sure
I am proud of you Jeremy. I think the only way forward for you and all like minded people would be to create a political party called old Labour. The backstabbers and liars that remain in the Labour Party make me sick. I supported you and your principals wholeheartedly, only for these slimeballs to wrench them away from me. I promise you my backing. Thank you Jeremy you give me hope.

Proud to have walked the cold streets during November, December. I was called a racist, bigot, nazi, to name the mild names. Oh dear what an opportunity we missed.
@@shredseeker8420 I love the old Bernie Sanders. The new one (after 2020 elections), no that much. He should have created a new party. He had enough following to do so. Bernie saw the Dems coming for him, as for Jeremy C., he was stabbed in the back by his own party.
@Youness, it totally baffles me that he stood for many not the few and yet many believed the right wing press and cut off their noses to spite their face so to speak. Masochistic or what?
“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum....” ― Noam Chomsky
In other words: controlled opposition. Mr. Corbyn seems to be a man of his word with his heart in the right place, and while this news outlet is a well-produced attempt at counter-media, it still works from a platform regulated and controlled by the same combined financial and political powers running this charade. Therefore it is subject to restriction and control. Therefore also, counter-narrative like this is only allowed provided that it reflects the predicted responses from the prefabricated game strategy designed by the same elite who’re regulating the platform. This means that anything deviating from the scheme, or the information bottleneck, will be shut down by those regulating powers. In order to run authentic counter-media you really have to start from scratch, building platforms from the ground up. And that’s such a dizzyingly difficult task that it beggars belief. Alternatively, we can throw out the rule book altogether and start getting clever about the way we push back- intelligently and precisely, but creatively and “non-politely”. ‘The Hammer and the Scalpel.’
With Jeremy Corbyn gone, all hope is gone too; the disgusting behaviour of the LP during this period of not just persecuting Jermey but also that of Ken Livingston and Chris Williamson led me to leave the party.
I've always instinctively recognised goodness whenever I see it and Jeremy Corbyn has it in spades. The allegations of antisemitism against him are preposterous and therefore unjust. But he is more than a good man. He is also an experienced and competent politician whose diligence and devotion to his constituency is overlooked or deliberately ignored by the media. This video had me in tears. What a missed opportunity the public had to have a genuinely socialist government that nevertheless would have included so-called moderates. I'm still in mourning over the disastrous result of the last general election and I don't blame Jeremy Corbyn one little bit!
There is soooooooo much toxic injustice in this world filled up with nasty evil people whom are demolishing the world and our lives. It is hugely admiring how Jeremy is standing up against injustice as it is mentally exhausting. He always stays calm in unfair and stressful situations. And he does good things for others, what should be valued and respected.
So sad but true. Really wanted him as PM but I knew at the back of my mind that the far right, the rich and the establishment were determined not to let it happen.
I have to say I have been blind to the media's portrayals of most things for most of my life. this channel and others like it are really opening my eyes. I respect Jeremy Corbyn for his determination to keep going and to make a difference. it really feels like times are changing and that gives me hope. if anyone can break the two party system we have and deliver fairer leadership, it will be today's youth inspired by people like this man and this channel. well done Double Down News. thank you for being out there.
I used to be a Labour Party member. I voted for Jeremy Corbyn for Leader. I was a CLP Secretary at the time in a CLP that was very hostile to Jeremy Corbyn. I think that the principal weakness of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership was the opposition of 90 per cent of his MPs. Jeremy Corbyn won the leadership election of 2015 fair and square and the matter should have ended there. It did not even end after the 2016 leadership election. The crisis continued because most Labour MPs think that they should be able to elect the Leader (and perhaps Deputy Leader). They have never come terms with internal party democracy. They have never come to terms with the modest reforms of Tony Benn and Eric Heffer between 1979 and 1981 let alone giving members an equal vote as Ed Miliband did. Labour MPs will destroy any leader chosen by party members rather than themselves.
Seems that certain people in Labour Party dont actually want a Socialist as leader. They have forgotten what makes them different from the Conservatives and now seem to offer an Americanised version of politics …….the middle ground is what traditionally the Liberal Party was for not the Labour Party. As a member of the Party I am getting increasingly annoyed about these issues as we need the Conservatives out but we need a labour government with socialist policies that help the majority in this country not simply a very few.
I wept uncontrollably on the morning of Dec 13th 2019. I wept for the death of hope,for those who lost their lives to austerity,for those that would go on to lose their lives to austerity,for the nurses working long hours with bad pay,for the kids I teach who’ve had their future stripped away from them. In my life nobody before Jeremy ever spoke so loudly and proudly for my rights as working man,my rights a human being and my rights to show empathy,love and care to those around me. Never again in my life will I see such an opportunity come again.
I was a regular reader of the Guardian at the time and would look for the daily picture and comment on Jeremy Corbyn to see how they could contrive a view of him that would show him in a bad light. It became a joke over breakfast in this house until they finally succeeded in destroying him. Needless to say I don't read the Guardian or its co-conspirators anymore.
They were absolutely terrible about Julian Assange as well. Establisment paper through and through. I also used to buy it , wouldn't wipe my arse with it anymore.
It wasn’t the media that destroyed the hope, they will always attack socialists and environmentalists, it was the right wingers in too many key positions of power within the party. They defrauded the membership.

Jeremy is the only person to ever move me enough to register and vote. I haven't seen before or since anyone so deserving of our trust. Such a shame to have a real player in a rigged game, my heart aches for the pain this country is suffering since choosing not to back this man as a leader.
Imagine if we had had JC instead of years of May and Boris. The Labour rightwing and the media took that away from us and made us all poorer and worse off as a result.
What strikes me is that JC gave so much hope to the average working class youth who have now been destroyed by the Conservatives. You still have huge support. A new party for equality, justice and fairness is needed

My (then) 26 year old daughter cried for days after the fiasco that was Dec 2019 GE. She and her friends and colleagues all voted for JC. They could see something different and it gave them hope. What's been done to young people's futures is unforgivable.

@@Whatsgoingon668 😖 Indeed. If Sir Speaking Triplets gave up his knighthood he would rise in our estimation of him as the leader of a once powerful socialist party. If . . . But he never will 😢! Power before principles is more his line . . . Another three word slogan . . . 🥴!
Him and Skinner were the only two people that gave me any faith in politics at all. So sad the nation couldn't take the time to listen to this mans words, theres a good chance he was an honest one and that he would of made some great changes in this country and instead we voted for Boris. Got to say the fast 20year or so has really made me ashamed to be linked with my fallow man and the shit they aspire to.
Unfortunately Skinner, Benn and Corbyn are old school and they believe that we should have left the EU. They think it's a capitalist cabal. But their approach means we aren't at the negotiating table and have to accept the crumbs off the table. This is a huge failing.
I don't really believe in the bible and all that but the story of Noah and his ark okay maybe that part is a big unrealistic but the other part that god flooded the earth because of the fact the human beings alive were being well disgusting is becoming more and more believable.. look at the sea levels rising... But not god but mother earth herself shaking off this parasite called the human race
My membership ended after 34 years when Starmer came in, we raised concerns in 2020, NHS whistle blowers ignored. Jeremy, you will have your day, and so will we #forthepeople
I joined, canvassed and supported Labour after Corbyn joined because he was the first leader of any party that spoke to my dreams for a better country. I became a 'Corbynista' according to the universally prevalent narrative in even ('even') the Guardian that said his supporters were deranged extremists or just deluded idiots. I am a 56 year old designer & developer, own a home, run my own business, pay my taxes and have 3 children who in their own ways are making valuable contributions to society. But apparently my views are irrelevant and I am a cultist, because I wanted an end to the chronic degradation of living conditions for ordinary people in this country. I have now left Labour and doubt that there will be another chance like this in my lifetime. So thanks mainstream media and right-wing Labour officials, you nasty, small-minded sociopaths have won for now. But what a sad and short-lived victory. And thank you Jeremy Corbyn for trying to bring decency back into our politics. You inspired literally millions.

Just reading ‘ Ten years hard Labour’ by Chris Williamson, an absolutely fascinating book of this period exposing the treachery that went on. I’ve never seen anything like it in my lifetime. I still watch the BBC and read the guardian sometimes just to keep my enemies close. But what a treacherous bunch! I wish Jeremy every success in the future.. keeping hope alive and passing the mantle onto the next generation.
I have come to the opinion that those two outlets do more harm than the red-tops. They pretend to be our friend, get unaware people trusting in them, and then stab us in the back.
I just want to apologise to Jeremy Corbyn for falling for all the lies . We at least a lot of us now know all the lies . deceit and corruption at the very core of government and MSM , let’s hope their dirty dealings backfire
I dunno, it could have already happened, but we've yet to realise it. I've been about for all those 40yrs &, under Jeremy, ordinary people have started talking seriously about socialism for the first time.
one of the greatest loses for Britain was Jeremy not becoming prime minister , 40 years of work on his manifesto for a better Britain we could not get a more qualified MP to have taken on the PM job

How is setting up a shell company in some Caribbean back water so you don’t have to pay tax, earning your money? (Clue: it’s not yours.

Your argument is so simplistic and is in dire need of a discussion about what “earning money” actually means.
@@chrislambert9435 Very typical of a reactionary to switch the conversation to one of the only instances where working class people get money similar to what the billionaire class get in an attempt to avoid any scrutinisation of those billionaires. I don’t know how much tax footballers and brick layers should pay but the point is, footballers don’t exploit other people to ‘earn’ their money whereas the examples of people I quoted above do! A footballer doesn’t get someone else to do all his training, whereas the ceo of BT gets his staff to labour whilst only paying them a fraction of what that labour is worth when considering the profits the company makes. Same with a landlord. Even if a landlord only own 1 extra property, they’re still exploiting the tenant by making them go out to work to earn the money to pay off the mortgage, i.e. rent.
Anyone else noticed how Jeremy talks a bit like Marco Pierre White? It's that air of intelligence and integrity, and that genuineness and relaxed confidence in himself which only comes from a lifetime spent working hard in a field and knowing exactly what he's talking about. Most other politicians never have that genuine vibe, they're all deeply neurotic and focused solely on acting, double-talking and distracting people from the corrupt games they're playing with our country for their own personal offshore and untaxed profits that come out of our pockets and the corporations they're selling our country down the river to.
Not everybody was fooled by the smear. The more smear, the more you gained my support. You'd get my vote if you stood for PM. Let's get the movement started again. Let's get rid of the self serving snakes, and let's get a government that actually does its job and serves the citizens of the country and make Britain great again.
@@Heligany And therefore people should be more aware of the tactics and more importantly, Corbyn would be better prepared to point out underhanded tactics and address them face on. It would be a push in the right direction and a push against the billionaires that fear him so much.
@Mack Starr well said! I knew it wasn't true. The so called elites were petrified of an honest caring decent man becoming pm who wanted fairness and justice for all!!!
The campaign against Corbyn was orchestrated and consistent across media. Very much like the medias framing of the covid lab leak, or of Ivermectin, or of Joe Rogans use of "horse medicine", or of cannabis or any of the psychedelics... A campaign... or a bandwagon full of sychophantic sociopaths. Either way the was a concerted effort to avoid the truth and available facts by hammering one opinion repeatedly in an effort to make the public believe that one opinion was more prevelant than in reality. Anyone who has seen the benefits of cannabis in their lifetime, or sucessfully treated their war caused PTSD with magic mushrooms or ketamine... Recognises the way the media frame and dictate the narrative.
I agree,& other trade union leaders, & Gary economics,a former city trader exposing the corruption & elitism,& idiocracy within the city of london corporation & its greedy & immoral investment bankers & hedge fund thieves.

I’m sorry to say it. But after everything that happened to Jeremy corbyn I completely gave up on politics as a force of change for the good of people. 💔
I've been a party member for nearly 50 years and served as a Councillor and am disgusted at Corbyn's treatment by the media and many of his own MPs. Sadly, the Establishment, horrified at the radical and necessary reforms enacted by the Atlee government from 1945 will never let anything similar happen again and will do whatever it takes to undermine a Labour leadership that wants to change the status quo.

The best leader this country has never had. A huge opportunity missed. Regardless of whether you liked his and the Labour Party’s policies (many of which would have certainly lessoned the impact we’re all feeling right now) you can’t argue, certainly in the light of all the corruption, nepotism, lies and cronyism we’ve witnessed in the Tory party, that he would have brought integrity, honesty and transparency back into the government and the houses of parliament. History will look back at the GE’s of 2017 and 2019 and wonder ‘what if’
@@jameschristy5204 😖 Pay real attention to what Mr Corbyn said about the misbehaviour of certain people in high places within the Labour Party before posting such an ignorant comment.
@@jameschristy5204 Surely the point is his opponents within the Labour Party ensured he would lose it. They decided that Boris would be preferable to Corbyn, then they will turn around and use "if you don't vote for us the tories will get in" as their sole argument when clearly they don't honestly believe that the tories getting in is all that bad, because they practically engineered them getting in the last time!
I am glad that Mr Corbyn has taken the time to review the Forde report on ` DDN `. He does not seem to be upset by the saddening nature of the report. Certainly not as upset as I am that so many claiming to be a ` left wing ` party advocate should indulge in an infamously ` right wing tactical operations / manoeuvres. Mr Corbyn has been consistently clear and focused on the traditions and heritage of the Labour party / movement [ excepting the Blair administration. ].
I think that the malicious attack on Jeremy’s person by the mainstream media was nothing but despicable. At a time when politics is so rife with two faced, self serving weasels, Jeremy was a voice of reason.
Loving the RMT badge, Jezza! You and Mick are legends. Thanks for being strong enough to weather the absolutely atrocious treatment you got on the people's behalf.
I sometimes get really upset thinking about what we could have had if JC was PM, not because I'm some fanboy but because he gave me hope, hope that I never had before that. To think of how the right wing of the party constantly sabotaged him at every step just because they wanted control of the party and now that they are, the fact that they're absolutely useless infuriates me. Their "measures" they announced today to tackle the cost of living crisis would be laughable if the situation weren't so dire. I don't think I'll ever vote Labour again; at least until they're ruled by ghouls whilst Mandelson calls the shots in the background. I'll probably never vote again but that's a different story...
You're such a good man. I met you on the streets of Finsbury Park a few years back and was so proud to shake your hand and thank you in person for what you were trying to do. If it were Starmer on the streets of Holborn and St Pancras, I'd cross the road. He's loyal to his class and a traitor to working class people everywhere. It's a crying shame not more people will open their eyes to it.

What happened to Corbyn was a lesson for everyone, in real time, how the corporate media dictate and control the narrative. If messages or communications exist that prove the Tories and the media colluded to bring down Corbyn with the help of some within Labour... Then we REALLY do not live in the democracy we think we do. Though that said... I firmly believe that Corbyn was the result of a grassroots movement. Virtually EVERY Labour party leader since the birth of the party has been right of center and pro status quo.

I quit labour because of Corbyn, he was never a leader. Forget all this sour grapes, I knocked on thousands of doors for labour and at least 60% of people said they would not vote labour because they didn’t like what said and wouldn’t while Corbyn remained as leader
I agree with you on everything in this except one thing, we need to create a new progressive party...now!
there is no chance of me ever voting for Labour ever again
the trust has gone
never again because the party's top level is full of spooks, crooks and they are not going to just up sticks and leave!
@@DemonetisedZone I would not vote labour either
Taking those responsible to court is the way to go… it will hold the debate (as well as what Corbyn stands for) in the press
Corbyn wanted to sell off 40% of the NHS.
This absolutely breaks my heart. The greatest Prime Minister we never had. God help us all.
In my humble opinion that honor would go to Tony Benn. I do think that JC had a job done on him though.

This has a parallel in US presidential politics with what happened to Bernie Sanders in 2016 and 2020.
You don't have to agree with JC politically to understand that the treatment he received from his own party, and the media, was odiously unjust.
lovely phrase...odiously unjust...sounds oily n smelly, wonderful...can I use it?
With credits, of course...
I'm not a fan of some of his state-socialist ideas, I believe community control is a better way, but I would have been dancing in joy had he been put at the helm, simply to see an honourable person there for once.
@@dama9150 I think you will find that he was in favour of co-operatives in many cases but he was in favour of state run commodities which is not a bad idea as things like water should not be in the hands of for-profit organisations.
@@tonybennett4159 I think that came more from John, who had a keen interest in projects like Preston. I feel more strongly about him not becoming chancellor than even what happened to Jeremy.
I would replace the word "unjust" for "premeditated".
I have huge respect for this man. Sadly, the main thing I learned from the Corbyn era was that real change will not be permitted in this country.
We just have to keep on fighting
The real left in the UK has - in deadly seriousness - to learn the lesson that real change ipso facto is NOT something that is ever 'permitted' but something which is demanded! Even more imo, the old saying that if voting (alone) could change anything it would be made illegal. Historically there have been rare exceptions (though even they in the long run were crushed). In the present day UK the system is completely rigged and extraordinarily powerfully manipulated and controlled.
The left needs to abandon once and for ever its one and only failed strategy and develop a realpolitik approach to power and transformation. Time is short and repression vs desperation is ratcheting up at a constantly accelerated pace.
Sad isn't it?? ☹️
@SB True, but I'm resigned to the fact that I'm going to have to hold my nose and vote for them anyway ... because, thanks to our "first past the post" electoral system, any abstentions or votes for alternative parties only divide the anti-Tory vote and hand the Tories a win.
It sucks, it really does - I despise Starmer for how he's treated Corbyn - but it's the system we're saddled with, and we either operate within it or accept 5 more years of Tory rule.
Nor in any country of the world if we put aside Iceland where banksters yes go to jail/hell
I voted for JC and it was the first time I thought their was hope ! We need him and more like him in the politics.
People need to get off their asses and get involved with their governance and thus social development. Not just for the mainly wicked uber rich but BY THE PEOPLE FOR THE PEOPLE. Not just for the advantage of the rich.
I fell for the red scare at the time unfortunately, I admit I was wrong now.
I’m still socially conservative but I can’t support right wing economics anymore.
I’ve always voted for the Green Party. Jeremy was the first Labour leader I believed in and I joined the Labour Party because I believed in his policies and his message. I even crocheted roses and sold them to raise money to pay to join and vote for him. I’m so sad that he has been treated so badly and yet there is silence in the media about it.
Exactly!! #FordeReport #LabourFiles
No offence but why vote for a party that never has any chance of winning ?
Brexit party voters changed to conservative because they knew that was the only way.
British media s full o shite
Jeremy Corbyn, PLEASE make your own party brother❤
It's tough for an honest man to stay in politics.
Saw Jeremy a couple of months ago, riding the tube, no security, no entourage, just in the company of a few friends, like any other Londoner.
He would have been so good for the UK and in my mind Britain would not be in the mess it is now had he been given a chance. It is disgusting what the media and certain elements within the Labour Party did to him. So good to hear he is still going to fight the good fight. Hope beyond hope, he gets another chance to play a major role in government.
Clement Atlee, PM when I entered this world, used to take the tube back home to Stanmore...no chauffeur-driven limousine there.
I saw him in Islington at a little garden party anyone could attend. On my way out I saw him. I was a bit shy my partner kept saying " go say hi" and you could see he was totally receptive I just didn't. Long story short he seems human and still has a soul most of the others across the globe and in power don't 🤷🏾♀️
To a certain degree I am glad he is not in office they would eat him for breakfast. They are savages!!!!
That's why the Tories have been in power for 80 of the last 100 years an d what a f oing shambles!!
@@tatucorreia you need to see him in the 80s and 90s he was more vocal then. I do agree not because they would make mincemeat if him but because of the threat made from one of the USA government that Corbyn would not get inside No 10 and like the plot to kill Assange it was very real.
@@joncumberbatch852 yes that's what i mean these guys are dangerous. They all psychopaths!
Jeremy has been the only reliable, decent, trustworthy, honest MP in my lifetime who was ever in a position to become PM and change things for the better... and of course 'they' wouldn't let it happen. It's sickening, and is just one of many clear signs of how fucked up and wrong everything is.
I've always remembered him as a decent sort, Ive not heard of him doing shady things, or taking money for forming party and never doing it, and taking the money etc. you remember who vote for what, and who do and say and never follow up or backtrack etc.
Very well said and true.
Live in NZ buf have followed the likes of Corbyn and Sanders avidly over the years. Knew a bunch of well connected labour party members here. Tried to discuss the progressive politics of Corbyn with them but was met with out and out derision. All based on information fed to them by mainstream media, including that anti-Semitism narrative. Incredible that even educated so called left leaning well intentioned people can be so gullible, and obviously not that bright.
Didn't Tony Benn come close to being PM? I think that was when the CIA poisoned his tea bags.
This man, this REAL man, was our only hope of a better country and a better world. The system is absolutely fucked up, you're so right. I think we maybe, us socialists, have a defiant streak az we will not be told what to think by the super rich and their minions. They can fuck right off.
Jeremy was a glimmer of hope in a very dark world. What has become very obvious is that we cannot vote out way out of this mess. We need to take direct action.
We need this man more than ever.
We’re fucked left or right
Every time I hear JC talk it makes me sad thinking about what we could of had. A man of decency and integrity.

This man speaks the truth. Is the truth really so fearful that it needed to be suppressed? The wrong people are in control in the UK.
My only criticism of JC was his over abundance of humility, understanding and compassion. He should have stood up and called out their shite. He should have stood for the referendum vote. He was set up and he seemed to capitulate.
The greatest era that never was.

Jeremy Corbyn is a man of integrity and decency.

Tony Benn was so right - you know who the establishment believe to be their biggest threat. The one they’re accusing abusing and defaming. No one got it like Jeremy. ‘Tells you everything you need to know’ as Tony would say. Agree with the person who said Jeremy is the ‘best prime minister we never had’ but they cut off before the end of the sentence... best prime minister we never had YET. So much love and respect for Jeremy-bravery always sits next to wisdom,, honesty and kindness. I quit Labour over this same as lot of other people - how can so many be without a representative whilst so few are choosing the next prime minister? Something really wrong here, and danger brewing in this country I think. It’s all to cock for sure
I am proud of you Jeremy. I think the only way forward for you and all like minded people would be to create a political party called old Labour.

“The smart way to keep people passive and obedient is to strictly limit the spectrum of acceptable opinion, but allow very lively debate within that spectrum....” ― Noam Chomsky
In other words: controlled opposition. Mr. Corbyn seems to be a man of his word with his heart in the right place, and while this news outlet is a well-produced attempt at counter-media, it still works from a platform regulated and controlled by the same combined financial and political powers running this charade. Therefore it is subject to restriction and control. Therefore also, counter-narrative like this is only allowed provided that it reflects the predicted responses from the prefabricated game strategy designed by the same elite who’re regulating the platform. This means that anything deviating from the scheme, or the information bottleneck, will be shut down by those regulating powers.
In order to run authentic counter-media you really have to start from scratch, building platforms from the ground up. And that’s such a dizzyingly difficult task that it beggars belief. Alternatively, we can throw out the rule book altogether and start getting clever about the way we push back- intelligently and precisely, but creatively and “non-politely”.

I've always instinctively recognised goodness whenever I see it and Jeremy Corbyn has it in spades. The allegations of antisemitism against him are preposterous and therefore unjust. But he is more than a good man. He is also an experienced and competent politician whose diligence and devotion to his constituency is overlooked or deliberately ignored by the media. This video had me in tears. What a missed opportunity the public had to have a genuinely socialist government that nevertheless would have included so-called moderates. I'm still in mourning over the disastrous result of the last general election and I don't blame Jeremy Corbyn one little bit!
There is soooooooo much toxic injustice in this world filled up with nasty evil people whom are demolishing the world and our lives. It is hugely admiring how Jeremy is standing up against injustice as it is mentally exhausting. He always stays calm in unfair and stressful situations. And he does good things for others, what should be valued and respected.
We could have had Corbyn and Sanders. Instead we have Starmer and Biden. The future is bleak.
Jeremy Corbyn, a man of integrity.
They couldn't let you win: you were going to cost rich people money. The rich must be protected at all costs.
So sad but true. Really wanted him as PM but I knew at the back of my mind that the far right, the rich and the establishment were determined not to let it happen.
Who goes to show that our 'democracy' is a sham - like most other 'democracies' offering little choice and no accountability.
Bingo!
I have to say I have been blind to the media's portrayals of most things for most of my life. this channel and others like it are really opening my eyes. I respect Jeremy Corbyn for his determination to keep going and to make a difference. it really feels like times are changing and that gives me hope. if anyone can break the two party system we have and deliver fairer leadership, it will be today's youth inspired by people like this man and this channel. well done Double Down News. thank you for being out there.
Jeremy gave a lot of hope throughout the nation. I love him. Starmer has no belief or direction.
I used to be a Labour Party member. I voted for Jeremy Corbyn for Leader. I was a CLP Secretary at the time in a CLP that was very hostile to Jeremy Corbyn. I think that the principal weakness of Jeremy Corbyn's leadership was the opposition of 90 per cent of his MPs. Jeremy Corbyn won the leadership election of 2015 fair and square and the matter should have ended there. It did not even end after the 2016 leadership election. The crisis continued because most Labour MPs think that they should be able to elect the Leader (and perhaps Deputy Leader). They have never come terms with internal party democracy. They have never come to terms with the modest reforms of Tony Benn and Eric Heffer between 1979 and 1981 let alone giving members an equal vote as Ed Miliband did. Labour MPs will destroy any leader chosen by party members rather than themselves.
@Batko Gele I never doubted that.

Never again in my life will I see such an opportunity come again.
I was a regular reader of the Guardian at the time and would look for the daily picture and comment on Jeremy Corbyn to see how they could contrive a view of him that would show him in a bad light.

I am a 56 year old designer & developer, own a home, run my own business, pay my taxes and have 3 children who in their own ways are making valuable contributions to society. But apparently my views are irrelevant and I am a cultist, because I wanted an end to the chronic degradation of living conditions for ordinary people in this country. I have now left Labour and doubt that there will be another chance like this in my lifetime. So thanks mainstream media and right-wing Labour officials, you nasty, small-minded sociopaths have won for now. But what a sad and short-lived victory.
And thank you Jeremy Corbyn for trying to bring decency back into our politics. You inspired literally millions.

Just reading ‘ Ten years hard Labour’ by Chris Williamson, an absolutely fascinating book of this period exposing the treachery that went on. I’ve never seen anything like it in my lifetime. I still watch the BBC and read the guardian sometimes just to keep my enemies close. But what a treacherous bunch! I wish Jeremy every success in the future.. keeping hope alive and passing the mantle onto the next generation.
I have come to the opinion that those two outlets do more harm than the red-tops. They pretend to be our friend, get unaware people trusting in them, and then stab us in the back.
I will read that book, thanks
I just want to apologise to Jeremy Corbyn for falling for all the lies . We at least a lot of us now know all the lies . deceit and corruption at the very core of government and MSM , let’s hope their dirty dealings backfire
Is that chris Willaimson with the podcast?
@@jakemorrison8507 no. a different chris williamson. he's a labor MP
I think Jeremy Corbyns finest hour is yet to come
My god I hope you're right, makes my heart heavy to think how things might have been.
@@helphelpimbeingrepressed9347 me too.
I dunno, it could have already happened, but we've yet to realise it.
I've been about for all those 40yrs &, under Jeremy, ordinary people have started talking seriously about socialism for the first time.
Your right I think he should move too Russia.
one of the greatest loses for Britain was Jeremy not becoming prime minister , 40 years of work on his manifesto for a better Britain we could not get a more qualified MP to have taken on the PM job

@@chrislambert9435 how is being a share holder of BP or Shell and raking in a share of billions in record breaking profits that the fossil fuel corporations are making, earning your money?
How is owning property you don’t need and getting your tenants to pay the mortgage for you, earning your money?
How is setting up a shell company in some Caribbean back water so you don’t have to pay tax, earning your money? (Clue: it’s not yours. Belongs to the public)
And how is being a ceo and being payed the huge sums that the BT ceo is being paid (as was mentioned in this program), earning your money? Especially when one of the main reasons you can get paid so much is cause you pay your staff a slave wage that forces them to use a food bank?
Your argument is so simplistic and is in dire need of a discussion about what “earning money” actually means.
@@mdb3040 I suppose you'd Tax Footballers because they "dont earn it" when bricklayers apparently do
@@chrislambert9435 Very typical of a reactionary to switch the conversation to one of the only instances where working class people get money similar to what the billionaire class get in an attempt to avoid any scrutinisation of those billionaires.
I don’t know how much tax footballers and brick layers should pay but the point is, footballers don’t exploit other people to ‘earn’ their money whereas the examples of people I quoted above do! A footballer doesn’t get someone else to do all his training, whereas the ceo of BT gets his staff to labour whilst only paying them a fraction of what that labour is worth when considering the profits the company makes. Same with a landlord. Even if a landlord only own 1 extra property, they’re still exploiting the tenant by making them go out to work to earn the money to pay off the mortgage, i.e. rent.
@@mdb3040 You fail to mention their Talent and supply & Demand
Anyone in the media STILL ignoring the Forde report or calling Corbyn antisemetic should be immediately sacked.
Anyone else noticed how Jeremy talks a bit like Marco Pierre White? It's that air of intelligence and integrity, and that genuineness and relaxed confidence in himself which only comes from a lifetime spent working hard in a field and knowing exactly what he's talking about. Most other politicians never have that genuine vibe, they're all deeply neurotic and focused solely on acting, double-talking and distracting people from the corrupt games they're playing with our country for their own personal offshore and untaxed profits that come out of our pockets and the corporations they're selling our country down the river to.
Not everybody was fooled by the smear. The more smear, the more you gained my support. You'd get my vote if you stood for PM. Let's get the movement started again. Let's get rid of the self serving snakes, and let's get a government that actually does its job and serves the citizens of the country and make Britain great again.
The media would attack him again though- they know they can get away with it now.
@@Heligany And therefore people should be more aware of the tactics and more importantly, Corbyn would be better prepared to point out underhanded tactics and address them face on. It would be a push in the right direction and a push against the billionaires that fear him so much.
@@stonehengemaca well said
@Mack Starr well said! I knew it wasn't true. The so called elites were petrified of an honest caring decent man becoming pm who wanted fairness and justice for all!!!
The campaign against Corbyn was orchestrated and consistent across media.
Very much like the medias framing of the covid lab leak, or of Ivermectin, or of Joe Rogans use of "horse medicine", or of cannabis or any of the psychedelics...
A campaign... or a bandwagon full of sychophantic sociopaths.
Either way the was a concerted effort to avoid the truth and available facts by hammering one opinion repeatedly in an effort to make the public believe that one opinion was more prevelant than in reality.
Anyone who has seen the benefits of cannabis in their lifetime, or sucessfully treated their war caused PTSD with magic mushrooms or ketamine... Recognises the way the media frame and dictate the narrative.
Please don't stop fighting. Team up with Mike lynch
I agree,& other trade union leaders, & Gary economics,a former city trader exposing the corruption & elitism,& idiocracy within the city of london corporation & its greedy & immoral investment bankers & hedge fund thieves.
You mean they haven't yet???

🤔 You mean Mick Lynch from the RMT.
When you challenge a corrupt status quo, sabotage by shills always comes from within. Keep on ✊ ye are many, they are few.
I was inspired and mobilised.... And then devastated to see the power of the political establishment and the media and the cross party unity in defeating any move towards a more just and equitable society. They like it just the way it is.
Jeremy Corbyn is a Legend, proud of supporting him past and present, true political hero. #StarmerOut !

I’m sorry to say it. But after everything that happened to Jeremy corbyn I completely gave up on politics as a force of change for the good of people. 💔
Imagine if we nationalised energy back then 🤔
Imagine indeed my friend. - Sigh.
I also wonder about rail, no strikes necessary in a different timeline 🤔 - gutted.
JC was the last glimmer of hope for the young of the UK. It's such a sad situation for UK democracy
I've been a party member for nearly 50 years and served as a Councillor and am disgusted at Corbyn's treatment by the media and many of his own MPs. Sadly, the Establishment, horrified at the radical and necessary reforms enacted by the Atlee government from 1945 will never let anything similar happen again and will do whatever it takes to undermine a Labour leadership that wants to change the status quo.
I'm a 61 year old man, I had tears in my eyes, how could this happen he gave me hope, now all hope has gone with the shambles that is left I will never vote again, Jeremy I and millions are so sorry
Grow up FFS.
@@ashleygraham8781 go away
@@saoirsehaslonglegs2313 I wish you Corbyn fans would. But like a bad smell, you hang around trying to convince everyone what a 'loss' this old fraud is. Move on or continue to be ridiculed.
@@ashleygraham8781 well at least you got to listen to Mr Corbyn, perhaps you may become a better person…
@@Andyreally In my experience, Corbyn fans are no less disgraceful and intolerant that the Tories they rail against. If that's your idea of 'better', stay well away from me, buy a dictionary and learn what words mean.
the best prime minister we never had hands down, anyone think otherwise wake up
Tony Benn?
A poor leader
His brother would make a better PM....
@@gmpn22
Nigel benn.....
Based on what exactly, how many politicians do what they say once in power, as you said wake up.
This man has been in politics for many years and has always been consistent with his messages. Unfortunately that’s not something the UK is looking for, liars and crooks are apparently more in liking.
England loves its liars, crooks and thieves. Especially the ones in Westminster.
Totally agree and any one who moans about the cons now when they voted them back in I refuse to listen and walk away!
Whatever the daily mail wants that’s what the country gets. A truly corrupt democracy is what we have.
@@janewright2800 I actually remind them this is what we wanted isn't it? They usually say no but then I take great pleasure in reminding them they voted for him because they believed all their problems could be solved by blaming the EU and soon these same people who rely on simple pathological reasoning that could be provided by the tooth fairy will soon fall for the promises of far right fascism of course I so hope to be proven wrong.
@@joncumberbatch852 truth hurts doesn't it? Let's hope they do awaken to it eh and the worse it gets surely they must!!!
Heartbreaking
The best leader this country has never had. A huge opportunity missed. Regardless of whether you liked his and the Labour Party’s policies (many of which would have certainly lessoned the impact we’re all feeling right now) you can’t argue, certainly in the light of all the corruption, nepotism, lies and cronyism we’ve witnessed in the Tory party, that he would have brought integrity, honesty and transparency back into the government and the houses of parliament.
History will look back at the GE’s of 2017 and 2019 and wonder ‘what if’
A good man who is truthful and trustworthy.
Totally agree But sadly lost us the last General Election.
@@jameschristy5204 😖 Pay real attention to what Mr Corbyn said about the misbehaviour of certain people in high places within the Labour Party before posting such an ignorant comment.
@@jameschristy5204 You are either of ignorant or disingenuous.
@@jameschristy5204
Surely the point is his opponents within the Labour Party ensured he would lose it. They decided that Boris would be preferable to Corbyn, then they will turn around and use "if you don't vote for us the tories will get in" as their sole argument when clearly they don't honestly believe that the tories getting in is all that bad, because they practically engineered them getting in the last time!
@@jameschristy5204 nothing to do with people believing the lies and slander against him plus the cons constant BS around brexit and other policies!!!
I am glad that Mr Corbyn has taken the time to review the Forde report on ` DDN `. He does not seem to be upset by the saddening nature of the report. Certainly not as upset as I am that so many claiming to be a ` left wing ` party advocate should indulge in an infamously ` right wing tactical operations / manoeuvres. Mr Corbyn has been consistently clear and focused on the traditions and heritage of the Labour party / movement [ excepting the Blair administration. ].
Jeremy needs to launch his own party.
Thank you.
I think that the malicious attack on Jeremy’s person by the mainstream media was nothing but despicable. At a time when politics is so rife with two faced, self serving weasels, Jeremy was a voice of reason.
Jeremy should have come out swinging a long time ago.
And also dropped a piano on Starmer from a great height 😛
That interview should be on Channel 4 24 hours a day then Gates funded BBC .
Loving the RMT badge, Jezza! You and Mick are legends. Thanks for being strong enough to weather the absolutely atrocious treatment you got on the people's behalf.
I couldn't believe my eyes when JC lost the last two GE's. I remember feeling empty and almost heartbroken, like I'd lost the love of my life.
I sometimes get really upset thinking about what we could have had if JC was PM, not because I'm some fanboy but because he gave me hope, hope that I never had before that. To think of how the right wing of the party constantly sabotaged him at every step just because they wanted control of the party and now that they are, the fact that they're absolutely useless infuriates me. Their "measures" they announced today to tackle the cost of living crisis would be laughable if the situation weren't so dire. I don't think I'll ever vote Labour again; at least until they're ruled by ghouls whilst Mandelson calls the shots in the background. I'll probably never vote again but that's a different story...
One word is all thats needed 'LEGEND'!
You're such a good man. I met you on the streets of Finsbury Park a few years back and was so proud to shake your hand and thank you in person for what you were trying to do. If it were Starmer on the streets of Holborn and St Pancras, I'd cross the road. He's loyal to his class and a traitor to working class people everywhere. It's a crying shame not more people will open their eyes to it.

@@chrislambert9435 Oh stop parroting crap, will you?
Do you seriously think those who embezzled literally billions of pounds of public money on a failed track and trace system and useless not fit for purpose PPE "earned it"?
Wind your neck in.
A far better man than Starmer
Then again, so is my dog!
Always thought that went without saying
Lol, that would be faint praise!
God this man makes me proud to be British .
It's unbelievable people still think JC would of taken the country down...
I only voted once and it was for JC.
It's heartbreaking, I can't support the current Labour Party because of this. I can't bear what was done and is being done by the msm.
I'd do anything to get the Tories out, even if that means holding my nose whilst voting for the current Labour Party.
The PLPs and UK Medias treatment of Corbyn pushed me much further to the left than I had been in the past.
If Jeremy is not re-instated then, will he stand against the official Labour Party candidate at the next election ?
I HOPE TO GOD THAT HE DOES
I wish he would help form a new party, with the SCG members and senior union members, like Mick Lynch and Eddie Dempsey etc.
@@jamie69murphy me too.without them we are doomed.
What happened to Corbyn was a lesson for everyone, in real time, how the corporate media dictate and control the narrative.
If messages or communications exist that prove the Tories and the media colluded to bring down Corbyn with the help of some within Labour... Then we REALLY do not live in the democracy we think we do.
Though that said... I firmly believe that Corbyn was the result of a grassroots movement. Virtually EVERY Labour party leader since the birth of the party has been right of center and pro status quo.
I really wish we hadn't been so naive & instead had welcomed him as our PM with open arms. We certainly could use him now!
this is brilliant and should be essential watching for all
