Jeremy Corbyn quotes about
austerity coming dealt form interested involved labour left level mainly mix older people politics whom
I have dealt with a pretty interesting mix of young people, many of whom have never been involved in any form of politics at any level who are interested in alternatives to austerity and debt, and older people who left the Labour party, mainly over Iraq, who are coming back in.
life people sweeping
Life is life. Some of the wisest people you meet are sweeping our streets.
acting brought campaign huge number parties people politics public written
I do think the public want to see politicians acting in a different way. What's brought young people into our campaign is that they were written off by political parties but they had never written off politics, and what we have is a huge number of young people, very enthusiastic and brimming with ideas. Those ideas have got to be heard.
cycling damage good health people
Cycling is good for people in all ways: their health, their well-being, and it does no damage to the environment. It can, however, be dangerous, and this has to be addressed.

bad benefit cap charged effect family forced levels people receiving rent social
In my own constituency, the benefit cap has had the effect of social cleansing: of people receiving benefit, but the benefit is capped; therefore, they can't meet the rent levels charged and are forced to move. It's devastating for children, devastating for the family and very bad for the community as a whole.

I have always had a very busy life. The difference is that a lot more people are helping advise me what to do, and a lot more people are observing what I do. But in terms of time and working schedule, it is not that different from my normal working week.
higher money pay people
You pay more in wages, get more in in tax, you get people living a higher standard, you get more money. It's a kind of circle.
control people persuade rather threaten
I'm a leader, not a dictator. I want to persuade people rather than threaten or control them.
effective loyalty membership open ourselves party
Loyalty is about the party and the movement... if you want a better and more effective party, we've got to open ourselves up much more to our membership and our supporters.
democratic intrinsic owned society
Diversity in media is something that is intrinsic to a democratic society. We do not want the whole media owned by one person.
clause four investment objectives originally public restoring shy whether written
I think we should talk about what the objectives of the party are, whether that's restoring the Clause Four as it was originally written or it's a different one, but I think we shouldn't shy away from public participation, public investment in industry, and public control of the railways.
banning deal entering offensive particular somehow
The idea that somehow or other you can deal with all the problems in the world by banning a particular religious group from entering the U.S.A. is offensive and absurd.
