Statement by Jeremy Corbyn on the planned resumption of campaigning in the 2017 General Election

15 - Copy24 May 2017 following bombing in Manchester:

As a mark of respect for the victims of the horrific terrorist attack in Manchester on Monday, the Labour Leader Jeremy Corbyn suspended the party’s General Election campaigning after consultations with the Prime Minister.

Following further discussions with all the main parties, Labour will resume local campaigning tomorrow (Thursday) followed by a phased return to national campaigning on Friday.

Jeremy Corbyn, Leader of the Labour Party, said:

“The British people are united in their resolve that terror will not prevail. It will not prevent us going about our daily lives or derail our democratic process.

“Resuming democratic debate and campaigning is an essential mark of the country’s determination to defend our democracy and the unity that the terrorists have sought to attack.”

To witness the injustice and futility of war

Your Law has no moral ground, and Orders can’t bind me

I am not a soldier and so plead ’not guilty’. Continue reading Conscientious Objection →
