- Has the Labour Party turned its back on the Left?
Following the disastrous election loss to Boris Johnson in 2019, the party emerged from the ashes promising to shed itself of its past and the image of one man - Jeremy Corbyn.
His successor Sir Keir Starmer has instead defined his leadership directly in opposition to Corbyn, leaning towards the centrist ideals of another former leader, Tony Blair.
So what remains of the Labour that once promised revolutionary reforms to Britain’s welfare, climate and foreign policies?
This week on the Big Picture podcast, we sit down with Jeremy Corbyn, who resigned in 2019 as Labour leader, was suspended from the party in 2020 and earlier this year banned from running again as a candidate.
He says the party now resembles the undemocratic and authoritarian environment he first encountered in the 1960s.

They where to afraid of him for making positive changes. So they smeared him with anti antisemitism charges.
The take down of Corbyn was orchestrated by the American CIA and the 'British' security state.
His appearance at Glastonbury really made the establishment worried because they realised that, despite negative coverage in the media, his policies were popular. After that it was relentless all out vilification, smears and ridicule by the media, including the BBC
@@kennethmarshall306he turned up at Glastonbury because they knew it'd be full of woke lefty millennial sprogs. The reality is that our towns and cities are sick of lefty pc brigade idiots inflicting their multi culti agenda on us . Luckily the real right wing is slowly waking up to take our country back.
Do you honestly think the reason he did so badly in 2019 was due to the antisemitic allegations? That's why the northern seats all voted against him.. Because they care so much about Jewish rights?
Not afraid of changes, but afraid of their pockets getting hit
I became active in labour because of Corbyn … he is so principled, honest man ❤❤❤🙏👍✊✊✊
Shame he was smeared and vilified. He is a decent moral man.
Do you still believe in father Christmas 😂
I'm in Scotland and a member of the Scottish Greens but I'd be more than happy to travel south to help campaign for Corbyn if he stands as an independent.
I'd be much happier if he moves to Scotland, you may have him.
speak for yourself. Cornyn is everything this country needed but didn't deserve. @@user-sf7kl9uh7k
or for the snp, u never know
No future with Sir kid Starver
Ha, very good! That's a clever play on words!
Sir Kid Stabber !
The Labour party under Keir Starmer and Tony Blair should be renamed New Conservatives.
Tony Blair hijacked the labour vote and on winning immediately pursued his right wing agenda new Tories right enough
We live under a Uni-party that believes in open borders Globalisation
OMG i was talk talking about this the other day Keir is just another tory.
An undercover Tory probably ....
With a silly title - no less!
The only worthwhile thing that came out of 'Bozo's' mouth was that 'Sir' did NOT do anything about longstanding-pervert 'jimmy-vile' - while at cps ..... I guess that how certain types get a title in the first place - boring!!
I mean, what working class gal/geezer is go gonna vote for a 'Sir' - ??? Not me!
I'll take Mr Corbyn - any day! xx
I already call it the 'STARMER Nationalsozialistische Partei ' ...
...FAR scarier than the UKNF... lol!
As a lifelong Labour voter, I will never vote for Labour again while Starmer is leader. Labour will probably get elected next but ONLY because of the state of the Tory party.
Yea and remain will win by a tiny margin, Just like Hillary because people aren't daft so there's no point voting.
We have neither a true Labour Party nor a Tory Party. We've had a Uni Party in power since at least 1997. Every PM since 2007 has tried to emulate Blair, with the exception of Liz Truss. The only bits of real democracy we've had are the referenda since 2011, and only one didn't go the "Uni Party way", which is why BREXIT hasn't been implemented as it could have been.
💯👍
Britain has been a one party state since 1979. Neoliberal economics and radical right wing capitalism are a cancer which eats from within.

Their acts were clearly criminal, but as yet, no investigation, no charges, no recourse b4 the law.
The BBC virtually campaigned for the crime syndicate callimg themselves Tories in 2019, an act of treason against the British people
Correct. The media controls the narrative which is why Starmer has to play a silly game of writing articles in The Sun and creating/modifying policies that will keep the media cabal happy. Every move by every politician is met by approval or otherwise by those who control the way we all think and act. Social media is the only opportunity now to break away from that (hence discussion like this) but regrettably The Daily Mail remains as popular as ever.
@@tiger6218 it wasn’t about him personally. It was about the policies that he was committing Labour to implement.

The uk would've been worse 😂
Worse off.
You rich guys would have been worse off. But the poor and middle class would have been a load better off.
Honesty is no longer appreciated in politics.
Jeremy will always get my vote.
That was his problem , he was too honest ! It should be a good thing , but not with our poisonous politics . Dont forget a largely biased pro right wing written press.
And mine
I want to vomit.
Mine too!
I wish I lived in Islington to fully support this man. I owe him so much in terms of wakening my soul to politics.
Wish Jeremy was the labour leader
Labour doesn't, it's only just recovered from his two election trashing program.
So do many of us. Starmer is complete opposite and I won't be voting for him. Sadly there's no trustworthy candidate 😢
The irony is the reason Labour failed was because of sir kid starver
He’s genuinely a beautiful, moral, truth speaking soul that’s why there was such a smear cancel campaign against him and tried to destroy because he dared to think of Palestinians as human beings.
He should of accepted the result of the Referendum. He was anti EU all his political life just like his hero Tony Benn. He became leader suddenly flipped flopped and crashed in the Old Labour Leave seats.
But what has hye done for the Palestinians? Sweet fuck all...he is the ultimate virtue signaller which you clowns adore but he is all talk, no delivery.
That's the real reason he was knobbled, I'm so tired of people saying sir starve a kid will change once in power, he won't. Voting for Labour is voting for the status quo, nothing will change for those desperate for change
You forgot Incompetent Clown
@@user-sf7kl9uh7kwhat have you done in your life except insult people, let me guess nothing worth taking note of
More Corbyn, please, on more topics, in detail. Thank you
I would always be behind corbyn forget starmer an blair to tory
I remember a moment in 2015 when I was speaking to my friend in the UK, and there was so much hope. Bernie Sanders was gathering crowds like no Presidential candidate before. And Jeremy Corbyn became Labour leader and was resonating with British young people and gaining in popularity. Then Brexit, and our hearts broke. Then Trump, and we just gave up. There was a moment when the US and UK could have "grown up" but we chose to remain petulent children, blaming all our ills on "those damn foreigners" and filling the airwaves with hate. So sad.
Jeremy Corbyn did everything in his power to make Brexit real. He is a spineless coward that hid behind sophomoric principle to mask his childish Assburgered petulance. It's a shame because he seems like a rather nice man otherwise.
Breaking your heart and making you give up was their goal. They don't want you participating.
BREXIT is just an excuse for the fact that the people rejected Corbyn's idiocy.
It's almost like you live in a little bubble that most people want nothing to do with
@@TheRealFallenDemon who?
As an American on the outside looking in , Jeremy Corbin is one of the few politicians worth his salt in England . In my limited opinion He's a gem actually . ✌️
You can have him, good luck.
If you live in Islington please vote for him and show your neighbours this utube. Barb
Oh yeah the working class living in Islington, lol. Pull the other one, you speak for nobody the party claims to represent hence why the entire party is in absolute shambles.
@@chester6343the party is in shambles because it’s reigniting neoliberalism at a time when the vast majority of people Corbyn does speak for, are facing ever-increasing financial hardships.
@@chester6343 there are alot of poor areas in Islington as well .
@@chester6343 The Islington North constituency covers the northern part of the BOROUGH of Islington . I think Islington itself is in the Islington South and Finsbury constituency . Areas like Holloway and Highbury are in Islington North and there are plenty of working class people there who unless they have lived there for years have no hope of owning property .
@@chester6343Do you ever think you might be being played? Who do you think serves food and drink and cleans up for the rich people you think they all are?
Great stuff. Only criticism is this: Corbyn's very sensible and evidence-backed policy is only 'radical' because the UK has shifted so far away from that
Exactly , the centre ground has moved right as the right and Tory Party as a whole has moved even further to the right .Moderates within the Tory Party have either been driven out or have to keep a low profile . Even under Margaret Thatcher ( who I couldnt abide ) would not have promoted people like Braverman into one of the great offices of state and a politician telling people to " fu*k off back to France " would have probably been suspended from parliament , let alone remained as the party Vice Chair. I am not convinced Enoch Powell would have been sacked had he been around now .
It is not radical it is good old common sense
@@annenunney9907. You mean like making working people poorer and removing their freedom of movement ? You think that’s common sense ?
@californiadreamin8423 that's the problem with the left , they only hear what they wanna hear and choose to ignore all the bad shit corbyn wants to do.

Compare Jeremy with the likes of Trump, Biden, Sunac, Starmer, Netanyahu, Smotrich etc. He is a giant among a bunch of lying Lilliputian avarice driven spongers !
so good to hear your voice, Jeremy.

@@therealrobertbirchall As far as your average working class English man is concerned you can all go and do whatever you want.good riddance. Most of us are sick of whining jocks and celts
I really want him to start his own party:( my generation would of voted for him in droves back in 2019 if we were old enough
Corbyn should have started his own real-left party as soon as he was smacked down by Starmer.
He didn't, because he didn't want to, isn't capable and was never PM material. Everyone can see this, including himself, so why wasn't a cohort of protégés produced to carry on the work instead of becoming a daft cult of personality?
Corbyn's role is to sweep up lefties into nonproductive endeavour. This is why momentum was formed - first to shepherd all the non-Blairs into one group, and then to decapitate the group so that it's members scatter away in confusion, fatigue and disillusionment.
Corbyn is just like Bernie Sanders (speaks the rhetoric but theatrically rolls over just before the finish line).
He doesn't want to be JFK.
He's probably also been warned to step back.
Corbyn is yet another Ken Livingstone, following the same script, wearing the same linen suit, preaching the same gospel, demolished in the same way, (by the same people?) and carrying out the same task of looking rhe part but achieving nothing. He's the failed-prophet archetype, the Jesus crucified but not arisen.
Don't worry, there will be another one of them coming along soon so you can make yourself feel good by pinning your hopes on another donkey. Meanwhile, Ol'Tony himself is in the control room coaching/controlling/shaping Starmer and his Right-face counterparts (Tice) getting them to march together like the hind & front ends of a costume donkey
What you don't realize (being a naif) is that he (and Abbott & Lammy and all the rest) are far too comfortable on the public funds gravy train to do that.
The New Communists??? Go ahead, see what happens to their seats.
@@user-sf7kl9uh7k the younger generation are more politically active than ever before tho? A new party, formed in line with the manifesto he had when he was labour leader, would have overwhelming support. Maybe not enough to win the government, but definitely enough to have an impact in the commons
We so would. Wish he does that i would even rally my town to vote for him.
Listening to Jeremy Corbyn always fills me with hope that things can change for the better and that a principled, honest, caring, right-minded PM is a thing that could actually happen in this country. And then the speech ends and I come crashing back into this reality where our next PM is going to be either Sunak or Starmer, both of whom are vile, lying specimens, barely distinguishable politically.
The political system will never allow a man like Corbyn in that’s why they destroyed him
This. I agree with everything Corbyn stands for but . . . unlike others, I will still vote Labour at the next general election (aka Great Tory Rejection) because it’s our only hope. If by voting Labour under Starmer means exposing how wrong they are then so be it. I realise this means damaging further institutions like the NHS but nothing is forever. The Tories exposed themselves in this way, and Labour seem possibly heading that way too. Then we just might get back to the great things Corbyn stands for.
@@jmshrrsnI think that it will give rise to more feelings of “they’re all the same” and we could either end up with a great left-wing movement OR a big fascist one. The fascists are already controlling much of the narrative so we’re in dangerous waters.
Although personally don't think Corbyn was pm material but compared with Slimey Starmer he is a more genuine bloke .but neither Starmer or Corbyn wold be good for uk .
@@colinwishbone4437 totally agree. Although, we have just had Johnson et al… Corbyn or Starmer would be preferable to that shite
A proper man. A shame what the Labour Party did to him, only to be the party in waiting but no different from the Tories. Quite shameful.
But also a petulant nancy willing to sacrifice his betters to salvage his own childish principles. Supporting Brexit when his betters knew how wrong it was eviscerated any credibility he might have enjoyed, and then he decided to coven with the Jew Haters rather than condemn them as a man might have. He was always a Disney character waiting for his comeuppance. History will spit on Jeremy Corbyn for his peurile self-indulgences.
It was the friends of Israel who shafted him.
The fact that Starmer has refused to let Corbyn stand as a candidate. Frankly it shouldnt be his decision. Labour has been a democratic party, and it shoulds be the choice of members not him.
Disagree with the interviewer, Labour is not moving to centre under Starmer but is moving to the fsr right as it tries to move further right then the Tories.
😂
You have no idea what you're talking about.
well, as uk loses 5billion a year from coloneis breaking away starmer needs to get billions from workers to buy wigs shoes fancy clothes ect more diamonds for the headress!?????? ect while anyone tax dodging (many many) BEGS WORKING CLASS TO FIGHT WARS FOR THE NUTENYAHOOS OF THE GLOBE
No questions about how he was shafted from within and without and the role of intelligence agencies in his downfall ??
Sounds like an antisemitismness conspiracy theory
Had he won the 2019 election, JC would have recognised the State of Palestine. And the Israeli government knew that. Just saying…..
How are all the Israeli shills in the labor party going to defend a regime which has essentially been found guilty of committing genocide. Will they still go on their Israeli paid junket trips to Jerusalem ! Will the friends of Israel rename itself, the friends of a "Genocidal regime "
The 1% have won.

The thing that always comes across is how non 'radical' most of Corbyn's domestic policies really are. They're mostly seated within UK structures that already exist or did exist until recently. Corbyn works within systems. It's his foreign policies that are extraordinarily global and quietly transformative - it was probably these that meant he would never be permitted to lead Britain, whatever the superficial weapons used to discredit him. Thank you for a great interview with the best of men.

One thing that this interview reminded me of is just what an all-round decent person Corbyn is. He even says a kind word about Tony Blair in spite of having been attacked relentlessly by him and his allies in the PLP.
That's exactly his problem. He's not ruthless enough and not a tactician.
If he had stood up to the Jew Haters and not been such a Fifth Column putz on Brexit he might have done a better job. It was a shame, but lower Brits do love a loveable loozer.
@@cehaem2 It was shameful watching him walk into the cannon fire like a lamb to slaughter. He is a shockingly selfish, self-indulgent man.
@@cehaem2I regret to say that I agree and that reality is a sad one to accept. That the values of ruthlessness and tactical manoeuvring are valued greater and are more useful than genuineness and graceful conduct in the cesspit we call a democracy.

@@vangroover1903he’s utterly narcissistic.
Corbyn, always on the right side of history! ✊️
He might be on his right side of history, still taking home his MP salary at the age of 74. Not bad considering his private education gave him 2 “O” levels, and a nice fat retiring MPs pension in the next year. Sad really .
That's more education than some MPs and he's been in the Labour Party since he was 16 years old, getting stuck in to help The Many from the get go. How many other wealthy people are you aware of who actually put so much time, effort etc into helping others as he does, him being hands on, not afraid to speak out and have difficult conversations to try to make progress? He's won various awards for his work in promoting peace.

Thank you for this great interview. Jeremy Corbyn is a decent, honorable and intelligent human being with deep sense of justice. When a political system rejects such a person, it reflects largely on the disfunction of this system.
He enabled Johnson and Brexit. The man's a fraud, oh Clown Corbyn 🤡
the only leader that offered hope... how we miss him
Jeremy needs to run for PM.
The trouble with the modern political situation is how every point of view gets labelled as either left wing or right wing. The media has so much influence in politics now that nobody votes just based on their own opinions anymore. Imo there is no labour party now, because most of it's original core values are gone. What we are seeing is more of a diluted conservative party, for which I blame phoney blair. I'd like to see a party with no labels, that progresses and works for the benefit of all the people and makes political decisions accordingly. As for the 'eastender' starmer, he's about as much core Labour as b.johnson is a social economics professor. It's time to scrap this old boys club of a parliament, and hand the control of the country back to the people. It could be implemented similar to the way jury service is done, with a minmum/max 5 year term. Make it voluntary, and have advisers for each sector permanently on the payroll.
I'd recommend Asa Wistanley's excellent book "Weaponising Anti-Semtism" to anyone who's interested in further exploring the means by which Corbyn was cynically brought down.
@@RollerballRocco-wr8zq - read the book pal, it provides clear evidence of how the establishments concerted efforts to undermine JC's popularity succesfully resulted in those poor results at the 2019 polls.
@@RollerballRocco-wr8zqyou’re so illiterate!
Sounds like antisemitismness

The prime minister that we needed but never got ❤
Just like Nigel Farage ?
Its the money to spend is what we need
Zzzzzzzz
@@xtc2v the money to spend? We still can't find all the PPE money! The government has been hashing up the money.
I miss the days when Corbyn was leader, because then we could rest assured there was no chance of Labour coming to power.
I really enjoyed listening to Corbyn in the wake of the 2010 general election. He sounded principled and different, saying things that nobody was saying on mainstream media. Then he changed. He was afraid to speak up for Brexit, something that he had campaigned for his entire political life. It was sad to see him so corrupted by remainers. In the end he was weak and deserved to lose. But I do think that Labour was a more honest party that offered a real difference to the Tories under his leadership. Now its indistinguishable.
Sorry sweetie, but us adults are really bored of the Tragic Grandpa Act.
A GREAT HUMAN BEING ✊
You've made a little mistake.
A HUMAN BEING
So very knowledgeable and a great teacher.Could listen to him forever and starmer has proved already that he is untrustworthy.Brilliant interview
I'm sorry you are a Corbyn LOSER!!!! Hahaha
Jeremy’s last comment was deeply moving
Great interview. Jeremy is a very genuine person. Always discusses the issue and doesn't stoop to egocentricity. He's not the only one, there's thousands of people with a shared outlook. Thanks.
I'd love if this guy was in charge
I supported Corbyn as I agreed with most of his policies apart from Brexit, but he was too democratic he should have booted out the right wingers just like Starmer is kicking out the left.
It isn't what Corbyn's about, the UK had persuasive push. I believe things happen for a reason, The Monster allowed itself to become visible, vulnerable and can be dealt with. Corbyn will be Prime Minister and Pallistine will be Free. ❤
I don't think he was "too democratic" but he did need to give his M.P's the choice to follow him or leave the party, then sack anybody who spoke against his character immediately.
I think he was too apologetic if anything. He should have refused to apologise for having sound morals, or his diplomacy work with terrorists and explained what he was doing/what the outcome was and what would have still being happening if he didn't speak to them.
He needed to call the antisemitism claims a joke and keep laughing at those people too but he chose to avoid, or change the subject as much as possible, which made it easy for the media to push him as guilty.
Anyway.. We're all armchair experts aren't we?
A very wise woman once said "Coulda' shoulda' woulda' are the last words of a fool".
Have a good weekend.
Absolutely and so many people make that mistake. Jeremy did not have to worry about the tories attacking him it was the Blairites that waged a war against him within his own Party. All lies. His defence of the Palestinians is not antisemitism. He will be remembered as a hero not as a War Criminal as Blair is remembered by so many people.
How exactly was he supposed to remove a couple of hundred legally elected Labour MPs when he wasn't even in power!!
Yes, I'll agree with you on most of that.@@alfsmith4936
This man is a true humanitarian ,he could never be corrupted a real gentleman . I have admired this man for many many years . He has done more for have nots than any politician. He is the less fortunate's hero .Thank you .❤
Great episode. Thank you for giving much needed voice to one of our greatest living British politicians.
Jeremy Corbyn is a very important voice. I'm glad he's talking to the public. He was attacked by the wealthy and smeared as an anti semitie, he would've made the world a better place but the wealthy didn't allow it.
Corbyn was also voted in twice by most of the old members not just new members.
Thank you for this wonderful interview !
Great interview. Many thanks.
How Blair made himself look more of a past it fossil than a man much older than him.
No, that's just a collection of words, it's quite meaningless. Try to form a proper sentence next time Poppet.
The problem is, in British politics, as with most governments across the world, it's always aristocrats who have made it to the most significant places in government. I believe that Jeremy would have been the best thing that ever happened to GB but of course, the media, the narrative, the massive corporations and the sheeple that thought otherwise had something to say about that. We need people for the people, not corporation backed billionaires who don't really give a sh*t about the common folk. The only time I voted was then and I haven't since nor will I until someone else like him comes along again, if ever.
okay, but counterpoint
Lee Anderson
@imranb4985 Great comment, I couldn't agree more. The way in which JC was attacked, it was coming from all sides, utterly disgusting. When you think what the establishment did post 2019 we now realise why they couldn't have a decent free thinking person like JC at the helm, otherwise they could not have carried out what they have. Like yourself I had not voted since 1997 and was so utterly disgusted in the Blair government didn't vote again until 2019, in the hope JC would win. I feel the same I will not vote again because I think the likes of JC sadly only come around once in a lifetime.
Your vote is needed. There are good left-wing alternatives you can vote for, especially if you live in a 'safe' tory seat. If that's the case, you MUST VOTE!
@@pseudonayme7717 or vote for a third party, like me
@@pseudonayme7717 Well I don't live in a 'safe' Tory seat, they only scraped in by 712 votes in the 2019 GE, a constituency that had been a Labour strong hold since it's inception in 1950. To be fair I didn't think the Labour MP did much for the area either, but he got my vote, I must stress only to try and get JC in number 10. So who are the good alternatives? I'm in the Northumberland area.
Thank you so much, probably the best interview I've ever seen with Mr Corbyn. I was shocked by Piers Morgans performance and interview of Corby recently talking about the Gaza crisis. Corbyn is a man on strong moral courage.
Fabulous interview overall that allowed JC to elaborate on his views in many areas in a way that the MSM never did. I always think however, that those in favour of JC always give him an easy ride over the EU and his stance at the GE - where he seemed to adopt a no-view, totally at odds with his actual anti-EU/Lexit position...this interview did just that. He shared platforms with Tony Benn, Dennis Skinner, Arthur Scargill, Michael Foot and was attentive to the views of Edward Thompson - in 2017/19, he largely suppressed those views, standing for MP in a pro-EU constituency. Its an interview I'd like him to discuss. On almost everything else, the man is a hero of the left and I'd support him any day over the neo-liberal that replaced him at the helm of the Labour Party (who is a consummate liar and, as Corbyn suggested, has reneged on his 10 points that got him elected - if party members can't trust him, how can the general public?
We have neither a true Labour Party nor a Tory Party. We've had a Uni Party in power since at least 1997. Every PM since 2007 has tried to emulate Blair, with the exception of Liz Truss. The only bits of real democracy we've had are the referenda since 2011, and only one didn't go the "Uni Party way", which is why BREXIT hasn't been implemented as it could have been.
I love jeremy but his downfall was he wasnt ruthless enough
A good watch.
UK politics is rotten.
JC's strengths are to talk with people and listen to their concerns. Shame about those other two, labour leader and former prime minister (who is not the sharpest tool in the chest by the way).
Farage never worried about being nice and he got what he wanted - Brexit.
Boris never worried about being nice and he got what he wanted - power.
Keir doesn't worry about being nice and it looks like he's going to win.
Corbyn worried too much about being nice & inclusive - and lost.
He should've made every effort to push out conservatives and then led a united Labour to victory.
Corbyn should of accepted the result of the Referendum. He was anti EU all his political life just like his hero Tony Benn. He became leader suddenly flipped flopped and crashed in the Old Labour Leave seats
That literally makes no sense.
It is not about being worried. Inclusivity is one of Corbyn's core beliefs. The fact that the others you mentioned got what they wanted due to (I assume) selfishness, arrogance, etc. reflects the reality of conservative (small c) working-class English mentality.
What a great man!
I have a lot of distain for the UK electorate for turning down an opportunity for an honest PM, a man with actual integrity. What a loss.
Like him or loathe him, that was fascinating. Thank you x
