Oh, Jeremy Corbyn: Labour leader’s eve of poll appeal

Speaking while out on the campaign trail last night Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party, said:

“Tomorrow, people across the UK will go to vote and they have a choice. They can elect a government that they can trust. They can elect a government that will eliminate child poverty, end the cruelty and injustice of Universal Credit, give hope to the next generation by investing properly in health and education and deal with the climate emergency on the world stage.

“The only way of getting rid of a Tory government is voting Labour across the country. We need an end to austerity and a government that will give real hope and real security to people.

“There’s an issue of trust in politics. As out manifesto sets out, we want to create a society that works for everybody. But on the other side, can you honestly trust a Prime Minister who cannot tell the truth about talks with the Americans over the privatisation of our National Health Service?

“Who cannot tell the truth about the Brexit negotiations that he has so far failed to deliver on, or one who keeps on making promises that turn out to be a mirage the following day. When you go to vote, you need to know that the people you’re electing not just mean what they say but say what they mean and carry it out when they go into government.

“The choice is clear. Theirs is the party of billionaires, ours is the party of the many. Tomorrow you can vote for despair and vote for the dishonesty of this government, or you can vote Labour and get a government that can bring hope to the future.”
