Jeremy Corbyn’s Tweets

Thanks to everyone who has written in support of my piece urging radical change. I must make one correction: it’s not about Corbynism. It’s about socialism. The fight for a kinder society is a collective struggle: we owe it to each other to win.

Nurses’ pay must rise with inflation. That is the bare minimum. Applause on our doorsteps rings hollow without solidarity on the picket line. If nurses go on strike, they will have my full support.

The debacle of Liz Truss’ short-lived premiership is a symptom of a broken economic system and a trashed democracy. We will continue to lurch from crisis to crisis — and ordinary people will pay the price — until we finally build a society for the many, not the few.

Last night, the government voted against a ban on fracking. As the Earth stands on the brink of collapse, this is a catastrophic result for our climate. Behind the melodrama is a government unable — and unwilling — to tackle the most important crisis of our times.

Two weeks ago, Suella Braverman told us her dream was to witness a flight sending refugees to Rwanda. Thankfully, she has now resigned. For the sake of humanity, we must ensure it’s the living dreams of refugees, not the dying dreams of Suella Braverman, that are actualised.

Liz Truss says she is a fighter not a quitter during PMQs. I must have missed her plan to fight the worst cost-of-living crisis in living memory. As millions are plunged into poverty, insecurity and debt, the PM’s desperate attempt to save her career is unforgiveable.

As the cost of living rises at the fastest rate for 40 years, the Chancellor still refuses to raise benefits in line with inflation. As families freeze and children starve, this government will not be remembered for its incompetence. It will be remembered for its inhumanity.

Congratulations to everybody involved in the campaign to take Hanley Primary Care Centre out of private hands. We have been fighting our corner for a long time — this is a huge win for the local community. The NHS is not for sale!

Today, I’ll be voting against the Public Order Bill. This draconian piece of legislation is an authoritarian attack on our democratic right to protest. As the government desperately tries to quash dissent, our message is clear: we aren’t going anywhere.

Jeremy Hunt says he will “review” the Treasury’s energy plan after he ditches Truss’ price cap in April. We don’t need a review. We need to levy an immediate windfall tax, and bring energy companies back into democratic public ownership. What are you waiting for?

Without urgent intervention, millions of people who have been plunged into poverty will struggle to heat their homes this winter. Today, I asked Jeremy Hunt to commit to raising benefits in line with inflation. He refused. New Chancellor. Same old Tory economics.

By announcing another wave of public spending cuts, Jeremy Hunt is not just blind to the scale of the cost-of-living crisis. He is blind to the very economic policy that created it. For 12 years, austerity stole wealth from the 99% and gave it to the 1%. We want it back.

Two of my interviews with have now been removed. The latest video exposed the role of the media in upholding the status quo. Some may find that ironic. I find it deeply disturbing — have serious questions to answer.

As Liz Truss sacks Kwasi Kwarteng for implementing her own economic policies, millions of people are still waiting for a plan to tackle the cost-of-living emergency. It doesn't matter how many Chancellors they get through, this Tory government is rotten to its very core.

Did the strikes force you to pay out £400 million to shareholders last year? This is a transparent and callous attempt to intimidate workers and quash their rights. Solidarity with members standing up to mismanagement, privatisation and greed.

In 2019, we wanted to borrow money to fund public, regional, green investment that would pay for itself. Truss and Kwarteng want to borrow money to pay for uncapped bankers' bonuses. This government have crashed the economy. We would have transformed it.

It’s been more than a week since the Chancellor told us he had “listened”. Yet his plans to uncap the bankers’ bonus, cut corporation tax and freeze benefits are still in place. Can you still hear us, Kwasi? Reverse this reckless budget, now.

For Tory MPs, benefit payments are a topic for cabinet boardroom debates. For those who have been plunged into poverty, it is a matter of life or death. Raise benefits in line with inflation, now.

As Biden pardons thousands for cannabis possession, Braverman pushes the UK further behind. The War on Drugs has failed, disproportionately targeting working-class and minority ethnic people. Stop criminalising communities and invest in them instead.

Diane Abbott has shown amazing resilience in the face of racist abuse. After giving so much to our movement, it is shameful that her concerns are met with silence. Diane is right: there is no social justice without racial justice.

Last year, BT made £1.3bn profit. Shareholders received £761 million. The CEO enjoyed a 32% pay rise. Meanwhile, workers were told to accept a real-terms pay cut during a cost-of-living emergency. Solidarity with BT and Openreach workers on strike with today.

Solidarity with UK nurses, who are voting for strike action for the first time in 's 106-year history. An overworked, understaffed and underpaid health service harms us all. Nurses deserve more than applause. They deserve a decent pay rise, now.
