Crowd-pleaser Corbyn launches Labour election campaign with rip-roaring speech
Jeremy Corbyn: “Our NHS is not for sale.”
Jeremy Corbyn has vowed to lead a Labour government that will “transform” the UK as he launched the party’s general election campaign.
In a widely-praised speech, he promised to “rebuild” public services and hit out at “tax dodgers, dodgy landlords, bad bosses and big polluters”.
But don’t take my word for it. You can read the speech here.
Or you can watch it here.
Highlights included the moment when the audience burst into chants of “Not for sale!” as he committed to return the National Health Service to what it should be – a fully-public organisation with no private providers involved – reversing the privatisation ushered in by the hated Health and Social Care Act 2012.
"Despite his denials, the NHS is up for grabs by US corporations in a one-sided, Trump trade sellout"

Here’s the part that’s worth remembering, though:
What a fantastic speech from @jeremycorbyn today as he launched Labour’s #GE2019 campaign: “When Labour wins, the nurse wins, the pensioner wins, the student wins, the office worker wins, the engineer wins. We ALL win!”. #WinWithLabour #VoteLabour pic.twitter.com/oFyPF4yr2K

It’s the big difference. With a Conservative government, the super-rich win, and stamp on your face as they’ve been doing for the last nine years. Think of all the people who have died because of their policies.
With a Labour government – as defined by Mr Corbyn, you win.
