Jeremy Corbyn launches Labour’s election manifesto – live updates
CNNFew set-piece events fall more squarely on a politician’s home turf than a manifesto launch, so standing ovations and hearty cheers from the audience are par for the course. A manifesto that will bring real change,” Corbyn said at the outset of a speech that included broadside and confrontational attacks against Britain’s rich and powerful — groups from which he said he welcomed hostility. And the Labour leader was on surer footing than is often the case when discussion turned to Brexit, taking direct aim at Johnson’s promises to “get Brexit done.” Corbyn achieved his short-term goal, giving news programs plenty of soundbites and clips that show him passionately announcing Labour’s plans to an adoring group of supporters. If he is to repeat the surge, Corbyn will need a similar uptick this time, too, with Johnson enjoying a healthy polling lead and his Conservative Party promising increases in spending that go further than Theresa May and David Cameron’s campaigns ever did. “You really can have this plan for real change because you don’t need money to buy it,” Corbyn told the audience.
