The Brexit Referendum wasn't democratic. It was won on lies, corruption and xenophobia, promising more money for the NHS, more jobs and more homes.

The Conservative Manifesto, forever claiming Brexit is the answer to all ills still has no intention of investing in public services. They. Do. Not. Care. About. You.
Regardless of whether you work 7 days a week and still can't afford a private rent (they probably own your home and hike your fee), it doesn't matter if you're sick or dying. They don't care if you're fleeing war. They don't care if you're trafficked in. They don't care if you're INVITED in to lay the foundations of the society they're now dismantling as they laugh all the way to the bank. The banks you bailed out.
Boris Johnson doesn't care about being PM. He doesn't care for your best interest. He profits from Brexit. His friends profit from Brexit. The control he talks of doesn't go to the people. It's a transfer to his back pocket.

You've got one leader with an abhorrent anti-poor, anti-needing history saying she'll overrule the misinformed votes of 2016. Out right. Well... that's not a democracy Caesar Swinson.

The issue ISN'T Brexit. The issue is what Brexit represented - a need for a living wage, employment security, affordable homes, an NHS funded and operational.
Labour is the only Party investing in the core causes of Brexit. Fairly.
For you. And you. And you.

Corbyn's stance could not be clearer.
He will negotiate a deal that works for us. A deal that won't buckle business, that won't have us dancing to Donald's drug deals, that will have the people prioritised and not the profiteers.
He will then tell us the deal. We will know what we're voting for. We didn't know before. No you didn't. If they didn't, you didn't.
It will be the best deal we can possibly get for the top and the bottom. No-one is saying it will be a worthwhile deal.

He'll make immigration fair - people won't be kicked out, families won't be torn apart and our communities splintered. But there will be schools and hospitals, with teachers and nurses who aren't working second jobs or queueing at food banks because their actual banks hold no money for them.
His neutrality means that he doesn't have to resign or step back from his manifesto promises, whether we leave or remain.

We've got one more day to register and 17 more days 'til we cast a vote.
Who wants to go down in history as the people who voted for warmongerers and murderers (they knew and know about cladding on social housing. It's still there) over a man who thinks your life is worth as much as anyone elses.
