Amazing Labour ads coming out of the UK

Just some brilliant stuff coming out of Team Corbyn this week. Packed full of good values and real people and commitment and courage to say the right thing, not the politically-calculated thing.

[Amended: the next two are from the 2015 general election campaign, not Team Corbyn. This may go to show that all the good values messages in the world don’t work if you’re also trying to play the centrist game.]

And Momentum have been putting out some absolute scorchers, which aren’t aimed at convincing swing voters but will energise the hell out of their activist base, who need to turn out the vote.

The polls are close, but FPP is a bastard of an electoral system. Fingers crossed for June 8th.
