Why Jeremy Corbyn - Vote Labour on Thursday

This weekend I thought I'd try and put something into words that would hopefully answer the kind of questions you hear from people who may right now be undecided about who to vote for on Thursday. My intention here was to bloggerise some of the experiences I've had canvassing and, just like I've attempted to do face to face, alleviate any concerns that people may have about the Labour party or Jeremy Corbyn and reassure them that the most sensible thing to do this week is to vote Labour.

Then I saw that that excellent protest singer and beautiful comrade Grace Petrie had already done this on Facebook and far, far better than I could ever have hoped to. So please, just go and read that instead.

What I will add is that there seems to be this idea that Boris Johnson will, as he is always telling us, 'Get Brexit Done'. He won't. As Boris Johnson has consistently proven, he cannot be taken at his word. He lies, he cheats or he simply moves the goalposts. John Major knows that Johnson cannot deliver on Brexit. But the simple truth is that we cannot trust Boris Johnson on anything (and we certainly cannot trust him with the NHS) so why place your trust in him on Brexit? Far better to vote Labour. They will get a significantly better deal and they will put it to the people. If you still want Brexit, vote for that deal. If you don't want Brexit, vote to remain. Simple.

Please do not vote for a fascist who believes inequality is essential in our society. He says this because he knows he has had the good fortune to be born into privilege. Boris Johnson believes in inequality so much that his party have said that people with learning difficulties should be paid less because "they don't understand money". His party repeatedly deny they are racist and, when they are caught out being racist, they refuse to apologise - yet they intend to give the police greater laws in removing Roma families and traveller camps. Just like Hitler did. 

Why vote for that, when you can vote for a party that wants everyone to have better lives, more pay, more leisure time and a healthcare service that is free at the point of use for all?

Vote Labour on Thursday...or, if you live in a contested marginal, vote tactically for the best way to keep the Tories from returning to power.

Let's not wake up on Friday regretting the opportunity we had to make our country a better place for all.
