2:53-2:56 Young Jeremy Corbyn

[@buddha1736]

Always been a bit of a swing voter, but I have always done well under labour had more money in my pocket, always seems to be a lot of hate around when conservatives are in.

Ah, John Lansman. He surfaced again with Momentum. He failed in the 80’s and he lost in 2019. Ditch these extremists!

[@Ocinneade345]

Was that skinner?

[@giovannipala6336]

Tony Benn is actually a good, principled and clever man. Unfortunately though for him he was on the wrong side; the demented Labour Party.

[@lewissmith3896]

Yep.

Christian nutcase

Tony Benn has one of the most destructive legacies of any British politician. Apart from his lunatic economics, his support for Brexit, his support for referendums, and his desire for what he called 'internal party democracy' (i.e. giving the power to choose a Prime Minister to a unrepresentative, democratically unaccountable group of party members) have been catastrophic. His legacy if anything is just as visible in the Tory Party as the Labour Party. His changes gave us Jeremy Corbyn, and also Liz Truss and Boris Johnson.

​@@zeddekahe was also a hypocrite on taxes and trusts personally

[@jodyburrows977]

Fair play to labour they wanted to pull out of EEC back then

[@zeddeka]

And it would have been just as catastrophic as it has been now

[@briansparks8528]

Their own self interest is very evident

[@mrsapplez2007]

Good old Mr Ben

[@garyoneill545]

Horrible party.
