A Christmas message from Jeremy Corbyn
Never mind all those other politicians, here’s a Christmas message from Jeremy Corbyn.
He writes:
As this year draws to a close, I want to take a moment to reflect on the challenges we’ve faced and the hope we’ve found in one another.
2024 has been an incredibly tough year for millions across Britain and around the world. Here at home, 14 years of austerity and mismanagement have deepened inequality, pushed families into poverty, and left our essential services in tatters. Globally, the horrors of war, oppression, and genocide have shattered lives in places like Gaza, Sudan, Yemen, and Ukraine.
But even in these dark times, hope endures. Together, we’ve shown what is possible when people stand united in the struggle for peace and justice.
Watch this short video reflecting on what we’ve achieved together this year and looking ahead to 2025.
Christmas and New Year remind us that hope endures — and it is hope that fuels our struggle.

He continues:
This year, the Peace & Justice Project has been a beacon of hope and action:
- We launched Monstrous Anger of the Guns, a searing critique of the global arms trade and a roadmap for dismantling the war machine.
- Through Music for the Many, we supported grassroots music venues and raised vital funds for Palestinian humanitarian aid.
- We campaigned tirelessly for our 5 Demands, hosting our conference in April bringing together academics, activists, trade unionists and campaigners
- Continued our campaign to unionise workers at Samworth Brothers and beyond
- Helped mobilised for the Palestine demonstrations and facilitated thousands of supporters to lobby their MPs and local councillors
- Organised demonstrations against the far-right alongside our friends at Stand Up To Racism and the TUC
- Hosted our second international conference with voices from across the world
- Amplified voices and built solidarity across borders with activists from Myanmar to Bangladesh to Pakistan
As we step into the new year, I’m inspired by the strength and determination of our movement. Together, we will continue to organise, march, and demand a better future.
