I'm tired of reading lies about a wonderful warm kind human being.

This is who @jeremycorbyn is. 👇🏻

Thread:

An ex service gentleman meets @jeremycorbyn they talk about the help ex soliders need
And end the conversation with him telling Jeremy
"I love you mate
You're a star"

"Look around this crowd
We are young, old,
We are Black,
We are White,
We're disabled,
We're LBGTQ
We are the whole wonderful mosaic of diversity& inclusion

Racism divides
When you've created that sense of hate
You haven't built a house,
You haven't built a school" @jeremycorbyn

"Forty-two years ago, antifascists beat back a violent, far-right mob that had descended on a diverse neighborhood of North London.

Among the antifascist organizers was a young Labour councillor named @jeremycorbyn."

"Wherever there is colonial rule,
occupation & denial of self determination,
it's followed by repression,
by massacres
by cover ups.

We've seen that again& again including other places, Iraq, Libya where countless lives have been lost and justice has been absent." @jeremycorbyn

"You can see it in England
The attack on @jeremycorbyn?
There's enormous fear including from @UKLabour

The idea that you might have a party that represents the general public & suffering people abroad?

That's led by a decent human being?
That's intolerable to them"

"Homelessness is unnecessary&frankly its immoral that a wealthy country like Britain tolerates anyone forced to sleep on our streets

There are far more homeless people than any stats show
Lets see a human in crisis instead of someone to be pushed around from council to council "

In over 4 decades @jeremycorbyn's principles haven't changed.

He's fought for working people his entire life, and he cannot be bought or corrupted.

Which is why our billionaire establishment/media lie about him so much.
