40% voted for Labour in 2017 = Corbyn *"REJECTED"*
33.7 voted for Labour in 2024 = *HUGE MAJORITY* ???
We need electoral reform ASAP.
Corbyn still lost no matter how you dress it up - At least the Far Left and Far Right have agreement on something - i will enjoy these tears for the next 5 years
@@waynereid9471 Corbyn had to fight against the press and the dogs in his own party.
@@waynereid9471 There is no far left in British Political Discourse!
Corbyn lost because more people turned out to vote against him
@@waynereid9471 Had Corbyn won a general election, like the Syriza government in Greece he would have faced open attack not just from the Labour right but from all of the institutions of capitalism.
Corbyn’s programme was in reality a limited programme for Keynesian state intervention, but the capitalist class feared the enthusiasm it could engender among the mass of the population.
So glad Corbyn kept his seat as an independent.
He was a non entity as a backbencher for 30 years. Serious question. What do you think he'll do as an independent?
@@fishjj76 He'll probably give his friend Sinwar a free penthouse apartment

@@fishjj76 he was not - I worked in the nhs in his constituency and he intervened to help save my homeless patients' lives.
Couldn't be happier to see Corbyn still doing well, gives me hope
But that is only in Islington north. Not from any other constituency. Corbyn will lose from any other of the remaining 649 constituencies.
@@reconquistahinduism346Is that why he received 40% of the Labour vote share in 2017 and helped many in the right wing PLP keep their seats 😂😂😂
@@adriftinaboat3452he recieved 40% under exceptional fluke circumstances at a time when UK was ravaged with terror attacks like Manchester arena bombing. Since then the scenario has been normalised and Corbyn led labour to face worst drubbing in a century with 202 seats in 2019 and was then expelled 😂
Understending a situation in its entirety is the only way forward and not harping upon the 40% votes that labour got a generation ago under fluke circumstances.
@@reconquistahinduism346 not really a fluke when there was seemingly a smear campaign on him throughout the years he led the party; he had a lot of ideas that the common people liked but would hurt the upper classes. I'm not totally convinced that the antisemitic behaviour in the labour party would've been fuelled by Corbyn himself either
@@reconquistahinduism346 To put it down to "fluke circumstances" is about as dishonest as it gets.
I don’t care what anyone says, if there is one politicians I respect so much in this country is Jeremy Corbyn, I joined Labour Party years ago because of him and I left after they treated him so badly. He is a decent human being
I live in Dublin and London. I vote Sinn Fein in Dublin and I’ve always voted labour in England (I’ve dual nationality ) but not this time,I voted for Jeremy.
Jeremy Corbyn a magnificent man and politician
sláinte mhór, comrade, which means grand health comrade ✌🏻
@@CashelOConnolly What a nice comment! Sláinte mhór, comrade to you too! I probably botched the pronunciation though, so apologies ;)
@@CashelOConnollySo jealous that you live in Islington
Same here.
lol, posting nonsense, right?
Jeremy Corbyn should have been our PM
He was most definitely stitched up from both sides last time.
Corbyn posed the threat of actual change - which is why the Establishment ganged together (with the help of the PLP and the media) to try to destroy him.
As we are preparing for our own campaigns here in Canada... This is an inspiration
He was attacked by everyone, snp, lib dems the media and people within Labour. JC fucked up when he allowed Johnson go and vote, the tories were losing in parliament JC was making Boris look like a fool. JC is a great MP but he did not understand how to win a fight with the tories
But he wasn't. That is the reality. He could not pull it together. Good man or not. He and his politics were rejected. I guess you would rather have kept the Tories in power forever.
Labour have acted disgracefully towards Corbyn. So glad he kept his seat.
Not to mention the way the media treated him. Disgusting.
The guy handed the UK to Boris, what do you expect?
Btw, I am an American. From my POV, Corbyn did Labour no favors. Starmer a majority government. I respect results, not talk.
Because it is labour in name only. It's time for a true socialist bloc to re-emerge in British politics!
Faiza was obviously a great candidate...I hate Keir Starmer
Seethe harder!
@@Galuxiushow articulate.
Starmer himself proclaimed Faiza the perfect Labour candidate before abysmally betraying her and her constituents. They are no longer a party for the left wing and the only betrayal enacted here is Labour's choice to abandon its left electorate and this constituency to IDS again, as they abandoned the country to five more years of Tories by sabotaging Corbyn last election.
@@GaluxiusAnime profile picture detected. Opinion discarded.
Hmm don't give a love heart to HATING starmer Novara media. I don't like starmer either tbh but even Jeremy Corbyn says he should be given a fair chance now doesn't he
Absymal how faiza was treated though for sure ..pissed me off when the result came in harriet Harman saying how disappointed she was with faiza etc. Silly 🐄
I campaigned alongside Faiza over the last few weeks. What a remarkable woman. The strength and resolve she showed amidst the Labour bullying and lies was incredible. We were out campaigning the day they stopped our doorstep app from working (so we couldn't access voter data for canvassing). It's been a long journey but the fact that Labour preferred having IDS back in his seat over her finally toppling one of the most hated Tories in recent memory says everything about Starmer's Labour. She is everything you'd want in a Labour MP and I personally saw the bullying by Labour towards her.
She'll be back and with more time we'll win this seat.
People need Faiza Shaheen! The system is rubbish and needs to change. Shame on the Labour Party.
She seems like such a wonderful person. She has the passion and heart this country needs. Hopefully we see more like her popping up and getting involved with politics across the country over the next few years.
@@prodbyselase the worst aspect and probably the most revealing is the labour candidate herself along with labour knew what their decision to stand against Faiza would deliver and had zero regards for the constituents , the community...I really hope Faiza will stand again, to garner so much support without the backing of a party machine is phenomenal and cannot be underestimated 💐💐💐
Doctor death won over Faiza. There really is no justice!!!
@@janewright2800 She'll be back. For now she deserves some privacy and rest. She's so inspiring, I really do recommend her book, it outlines the kind of values she believes in.
Oh Jeremy Corbyn ❤
That blonde lady 10 minutes in was terrifying. Absolute creep.
When your outer beauty takes a back seat to the ugliness on the inside
Absolute freak 🤪
She's gorgeous ❤️
The fact that she hates him because he was a human rights lawyer is beyond belief. Dislike him for his policies is fine. More than just her roots are showing.
@@tonyb9560 the so called "human rights lawyer" was the keenest on lockdowns and mandatory mRNA injections .A total Fascist as far as I'm concerned
Corbyn was and IS honest man and telling the TRUTH.😅Long live Corby God bless you
lol, troll
Well, the truth is...... He could not get Labor elected as the majority. Personal praise is great. But Labor running the Government is better.
@@donny1960 Corbyn almost won in 2017 - despite the smears and attacks from right wing Labour and the media barrage. That only got worse after 2017. But the establishment were nonetheless so scared they ordered Jo Swinson to call for a General Election and probably ordered Sir Keith to ramp up the Ref 2 rhetoric. But the basic two facts of the matter are that 2019 was the Brexit election the Tories obviously would never lose - despite ie notwithstanding the Starmer effect - but also that 2019 meant that three General Elections were called in a four year period; only the second time that has ever happened. The other time being 1970 and two elections in 1974 due to no overall control / hung parliament reasons.
And interestingly, both Corbyn circa 2015 - 2019 and Wilson circa 1968 - 1975 were threatened with a military coup d'etat.
@@kitten-zv3dm5om2 be quiet
The fact that Keir Starmer prefers Iain “disabled persons don’t matter” Duncan Smith to Faiza Shaheen says it all really.
He does what he's told. L.f.i dictates -out- our* policies
George Osborne was worse than Lain Duncan Smith. I speak as a disabled man with cerebral palsy.
@@Nemo59646 I would have to say IDS was the worst as a disabled person persecuted by the DWP under that mans watch for more years than I can recall.
@@TaraSykes3 George Osborne cut welfare by 4. 4 billion, £4,400 million or £4.400000000.
Didn’t he try and live on benefits for a week and didn’t last 1 day….
I am an African American woman moved to share how much hope and solace amazing Jeremy Corbyn and his supporters give me. Sending much adoration, heart, and strength to you all.
Honest , decent man.. Good constituency MP, well done Islington North... 👏👏
Dude on the tube is what gives me hope there are good & smart people in the country with decent principles.
Dude on the Tube obviously voted Tory. You can tell because a) he won't explicitly say so on camera and b) after all his barstool plague-on-all-your-houses speechifying, he says he voted for "what's best for me", i.e. what he perceives to be in his own self-interest, i.e. Tory.
Corbyn got more votes overall in 2019 than Starmer did this week. Starmer had the advantage of Reform splitting the right wing vote,plus a Tory party that had just messed up the economy
Media won’t portray that though
Most people thought Labour were gonna walk it and were fine with that fact so stayed home
The Greens, Lib Dems and others split the vote on the left and have done for many years.
everyone bangs on about this. winning an election is also about not getting people to come out and vote against you. Whatever Corbyn got, he also rallied people to vote against him. Also, as someone from a major leave area, don't think for a second it is as simple as reform splitting the right vote. Reform took votes from labour too.
Plus, tactical voting. I voted Labour to keep Reform and Tories out.
Well done Jeremy! The most decent person in politics.
The country’s ex that got away. We don’t deserve a man with such integrity and selfless policy. He’s too good for our terrible country.
Well said! 👍
Congratulations Corbyn and team
Brilliant vid, brilliant researcher/interviewer. At 78 yrs old and a lifelong socialist watching this with all the beautiful young, principled people has given me some hope. I'm in the unceremoniously deposed Lloyd Russell-Moyles's constituency so the pain of Starmer's tactic appalled me. Thank you NM ❤
Mandleson is NOT happy
Psychopath's rarely are
Mandelson is always lugubrious! I voted Liberal democrats because their manifesto was more radical than Labour's. My sister voted Green 💚
Wasn’t mandelson mates with Epstein?
G O O D 😂😂😂
Wasn’t mandelson mates with Pepsteen
Congratulation people of Islington and Mr. Jeremy Corbyn. Mr. Corbyn is the most decent politician in UK history.
Congratulations Jeremy Corbyn
Corbyn is my choice . All the way .
❤ you Jeremey Corbyn. I cried when they declared you won. You gave me hope. You winning was the best news in this election (aside from tories getting kicked out). Kudos to your team, they really did so well. 👍
Faiza Shaheen 🎉🎉🎉 should now be the MP for Chingford and Woodford for Labour, she was rejected by lobbyist organisations that now control labour party selection process , with all decisions made by unelected , paid committee of marketing practitioners...shame on you Starmer, and weasel Wesley, you were almost snared, 😢😢😢
Agreed!
Faiza would be better of with the Greens at this point. Labour won't be re-selecting her again because the Labour NEC are petty as hell. Edit: Also, Ed Balls stated on live tv - sending back IDS to parliment "was a price worth paying"... damned normative deterministic eunuch.
lol
The woman with the Corbyn sweatshirt could probably run herself. In a couple of minutes shes already better than 90% of the the new parliament.
Jeremy's victory wasn't to do with "revenge" - he's not that type of person. It was to do with resistance.
The woman at 9.28 sounded like a parody, but she was deadly serious...
sad story🤦🏻♀️
🍉✌🏼💜
‘It was lovely to speak to you’…
Yeah… sure…
I thought she had to be a joke.
Probably making it up as she went along!
Imagine thinkin human rights was a bad thing.
Jeremy Corbyn is still providing hope for the whole of the UK, he is the only MP with supporters in every town and city across these Islands.
Corbyn should have stood up to the PLP and right-wingers like Keir Starmer. Starmer was supported by New Labour, the ruling tendency that controlled the Labour Party since the days of Tony Blair. Almost all PLP members belong to New Labour and cannot be described as socialist or even moderate leftist. While they applauded the defeat of Corbyn, many Labour members decided to leave the party. Under Jeremy Corbyn over 500.000 people were members mainly young people. Fours years after he was voted out, only 366.604 remain as of March 2024. This shows us that after Corbyn was kicked out, the Labour Party resumed its role as a mouthpiece of the capitalist establishment.
Corbyn made Labour unelectable
Corbyn grew the membership because he sells dreams, a cult figure like Farage.
Your right, I do feel finally he has been pushed into having that killer instinct he has never had before unlike the majority of self serving MPs.
I fkn hate Stamer as many of us do. Have to wonder if even his wife/handler can like such a soulless man.
Understandable. Corbyn has the momentum to launch a new party of the working class. Unlike the political vehicle of George Galloway which is social-conservative, a new workers party must be build on a socialist program that can end the poverty and inequality caused by the capitalist system. Many would support such a genuine party, unlike the ''Workers Party of Britain'' which lost its star candidate (Galloway) to a Labour candidate.
Starver was backed by the Friends of Israel.
Starmer and his whole team are vile they destroyed Corbyn an honest nice man want a joke.
Corbinned XD
Corbyn destroyed himself
The whole point is that they didn't destroy him. Here he is.
@@RobinHarris-nf4yv aww bless you thanks for commenting ❤️🙊
So proud of everyone in Islington North, thanks for this great report!!
Thank you so much to everyone that worked on Corbyn's campaign. He's an inspiration globally, a hope where we don't have much. What a legend.
That was a brilliant report and a deeply emotive speech from JC at the end 🥰 From a Green voter in Bristol 💚
Great video, only let down by the end comment?
Kudos to Faiza Shaheen for standing up to the centrist establishment; I am heartbroken for her, and hold Starmer's Labour entirely responsible for undermining community.
Thank the gods for Jeremy Corbyn, & thanx for this fascinating coverage!!!
9:50 that woman is chatting proper shit
Its nice to see Corbyn outside of the labour party as he can speak his mind & highlight issues that would alienate a lot of the working class vote. His plans for government when he was labour leader were not too radical, just too radical for big business & the city. congratulations to him on retaining his seat, I hope his popular support continues & he can bring the small group of independents together to provide an alternative voice in parliament !
Special mention for the lad from Belfast. To travel that far and extend his stay, to help the campaign. Big thank you from the North of England.
Corbyn is such a great speaker when he's just passionately speaking off the cuff. Which of course he can do easily because he always speaks for what he believes in.
Because he has genuine class and integrity unlike a lot of MP's
Congratulations to Jeremy. Great campaign Faiza, coming third as an independent is not a bad result.
Huge respect to Jeremy Corbyn ...a living legend
Corbyn has beautiful friends and supporters..
Agreed
Congratulations Jeremy Corbin!
Islington N.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
9:28 made a fool out of herself.
That's Tories for you.
“Socialism doesn’t work” unless it’s for the 1%
Jeramy Corbin should form a Political Party gathering all the independents
Should call it the oxymoron party: united independents
dream team
Or join the Greens and bring some of those independents with him which would get the greens up to 8 seats
That may be a good idea, here in México a Corbin's friend called AMLO (Andrés Manuel López Obrador) create his own party after he left the traditional left party of Mexico because it had became corrupt and started to work for the government mafias of that time. Then 3 years later in the next election they won with 53% of the popular vote and his party became the first majority in congress. And now 9 years later (yes here in México the presidency term is for 6 years but reelection is banned) his party has became the principal party of almost all México and they got even more votes for the presidential election.
Mean spirited but funny
Chingford: obviously would have been best if Faiza had won, but failing that this is actually a good result imo. Send Labour the message that no one owes them a vote. Democracy in action.
Still means as the only Tory constituency in a labour Burrough it's going to stay underfunded and overlooked, so shit for the citizens but does send Labour a clear message as you outlined.
Go, Jeremy!
Corbyn is a thoroughly decent and good human being. The same cannot be said of Starmer. Great piece
Not seen this guy before on your channel, more from him please, very well done video
Lovely piece of work. Well shot, well edited, provided a good sense of the mood generally. Thank you.
I live in Germany and cannot vote but very pleased Corbyn is back and hopefully living rent free in Starmers head.
yeah he certainly is living free in starmers head. starmer cannot even force himself to think about being the boss because he thinks of JC and his massive one seat. HAHAHAHA JC really punked starmer here.... imagine seeing JC win his seat and only having 412 seats for himself..... STARMER you lose, JC wins just like he won those elections as labour leader. starmer out
Novara making politics exciting.👍👍❤️🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
... but not really saying that much. For despite all the positive comments recorded, why did the reporter make a negative comment at the end of the film?

@jzilla1234 I'm pretty happy with the election result. I wish Keir Starmer well. I don't want Jeremy Corbyn to die. I just think his time has passed, and he should retire. He's 75, and he should make way for someone younger.
Starmer gathered 36641 votes when elected in 2019; and he gathered 18884 in 2024. What a vote of confidence, eh?
Cope.
Pretty much says it all. Sad times indeed
@@RealOGfikeyyou're using it wrong
@@The_Long_Bones_of_Tom_HoodySays that the Labour strategy in the election was to make efficient use of votes in marginal areas rather than retaining huge majorities in safe seats.
Have you looked at Starmer's result?
Drunk woman @9:25 is The Daily Mail in human form
She should go to Dover ..get her binoculars out and watch out for some Dinghys
Corbyn should make his own party.
There are 5 (including Corbyn) independents for Gaza/against genocide MPs which is many as Reform. Then the Greens & I understand the SNP & Lib-Dems are not keen on baby-killing either, so there's a bloc right there.
Corbyn is a goddamn legend. Love the man!
Jeremy Corbyn should form a new party, as Farage split from the Cons and formed his own party: this achieves clarity of vision rather than a ratbag of views under a dodgy umbrella sometimes termed, ingenuously, as a 'broad church'. Sod broad churches, tell me what you stand for.
Or he could become leader of the Greens to try to unite the left
Really sad to watch this from France, i had hope for the guy but the power structure inside labour seems very alike our socialist party, and it's bound to produce neoliberal garbage endlessly. Becomes infested with bourgeois, then drops any kind of reforms unless mass social movement and just preserve social order or worsen it once in power. They've been doing this since 1920 pretty much in France. And we still didn't get rid of those centrists.
I wish he would produce a party structure if he has the strength to build it over a decade that doesn't bend the knee, it was the only way our left survived in France. The line isn't discussed you just join if you want to defend the line, building back the welfare state, building a new republic, and going against capitalists interest for green policies. It avoids people just coming for seats and make sure you go in the same direction. But it also implies that you need to build a program from gassroots organizations be it unions or association and forming something coherent that you can build on endlessly and moving forward.

Interview with Corbyn - the most realistic I've seen - human
"It was tactical" / "We'll take 131"
It was not tactical. You're just ashamed of your political beliefs.
After all the conservative slide in world politics really, and even mainstream "leftist parties" being more conservative both fiscally and socially, hearing Corbyn is such a good comeback to sane politics...
We need more of this. Informative and entertaining.
AHAHAH this is such a great video. Love to see more of this!
Jeremy is a very special person, let alone a very special MP. For me, this was the highlight of the night. Hope in an alleged 'democratic' triumph, where one third of the votes produces two thirds of the seats.
Thanks

He usually pays for that kind of thing.
