Heads up - webchat with Jeremy Corbyn Monday 19th Sept @ 2pm.

[JustineMumsnet]

Hello,

We’re pleased to announce a webchat with the leader of the Labour Party (and candidate in the current leadership election) Jeremy Corbyn MP on Monday 19 September at 2pm.

Jeremy has been MP for Islington North since 1983, and before 2015 was best known as a rebellious backbencher and chair of the Stop the War coalition. His leadership of Labour over the past year has inspired enthusiastic support as well as attracting sustained criticism. Among other things, he’s taken a new crowd-sourced approach to Prime Minister’s Questions, opposed military intervention in Syria and proposed the renationalisation of the railways.

His last webchat on Mumsnet (alongside fellow leadership candidate in 2015, Liz Kendall) featured lively discussions about socialism, electability and the provenance of Jeremy’s vests (Holloway Road market, since you ask).

Please do join the chat on Monday at 2, or if you can’t make it, leave a question here in advance. If you know people who you think would like to ask Jeremy a question, do please share the link around on social media too.

(If you’re interested in our webchat with the other Labour leadership candidate Owen Smith, take a look here .)

As always, please do keep in mind our webchat guidelines - one question each, follow-ups if there’s time and above all, keep it civil [taps nose like that geezer Shaw Taylor in Police 5] (Horribly showing my age there).

Ecstatic to see that democracy still exists and the right man won.

OutWiththeOutCrowd I think you have it - this web chat has been a kind of Da Vinci Code for understanding the hidden policies of Jeremy Corbyn.

This thread is nearly full - we'll need a new one to go through and carefully decode each response

Genius. Pure genius! 😁

Outwiththecrowd has clearly seen through the spin and rhetoric of the MSM to the TRUTH!

I think the whole tommee tippee thing might be a coded Marxist direct action reference to our right wing police state too?

Will you now highlight the fact that the Conservative Party is acting according to its philosophy: its belief that government, particularly BIG GOVERNMENT, inhibits freedom? Voters should recognise that, by giving free rein to BIG BUSINESS, the Conservative Party is inhibiting our freedom by reducing many of us to poverty and is systematically removing our rights and public services.
