Jeremy Corbyn Supporters At West Bromwich Rally Aren’t Concerned At Polls Showing Theresa May Gaining Support
Jeremy Corbyn Supporters At West Bromwich Rally Aren’t Concerned At Polls Showing Theresa May Gaining Support
Labour may not be performing quite as well in the polls as its supporters expected but its voters on the ground certainly don’t seem that bothered.
A poll earlier this month showed public support for Theresa May had grown despite a disastrous party conference speech, two Cabinet resignations and Brexit talks stalling. The YouGov poll for The Times found 34% of voters want May to stay as Prime Minister, up one point from a month ago. Backing for Jeremy Corbyn as PM, meanwhile, fell two points to 35% and a sizeable 35% said they were not sure who they wanted to lead the country.
Yet there were no signs of support for Corbyn waning at his first rally since just before the Labour party conference in September.
The Islington North MP yet again ushered on stage to a rendition of “Oh Jeremy Corbyn” and rapturous applause from the 1,500-strong audience in West Bromwich.

“Polls don’t really concern me, to be honest,” said 18-year-old Erin Gilbey, a student at Birmingham University.
“We’ll see what happens and we’ll fight behind him.
“Just as he was leaving then, I don’t think I’ve ever seen an MP for many years be popular in the way that people want to speak to him and want to know him, almost as a person.
“Given the really negative media attention he had right at the start of his campaign, he’s done incredibly to get that sort of support and I don’t think that poll makes any difference to that whatsoever from what I’ve seen tonight.”
Her fellow student, 18-year-old Emma Gordon, added: “Polls haven’t had much of a history of being that accurate, let’s be real. There was the landslide victory for the Tories and all that, so I’m not really concerning myself with polls, to be honest.”
The young women, who told HuffPost UK they had dressed in red especially for the event, said they were optimistic about the future of the party.
Labour MP, said: “I think the energy that was here tonight is going to be alive in all of the people who leave this room with newfound inspiration.”
The trio weren’t the only ones dressed for the occasion. There were plenty of football-style scarves with Corbyn’s name emblazoned upon them floating around, as well a plenty of other merchandise, including the now-almost iconic T-shirt featured the leader’s name in the style of the Nike slogan.
Peter Griffiths, a 69-year-old Labour councillor, also had little for time polls suggesting Corbyn was losing support.
He said: “It’s not what we’re finding on the streets. When we go door-knocking, people are very much with Jeremy.”
He too said he was optimistic about the future: “We are, we certainly are in the Midlands here about a very good result in the next round of elections.”
Tom England, 27, has been a member of the party since Corbyn became a major figure. He was thrilled with the Labour leader’s furious response to Wednesday’s budget, when he attacked the absence of social care from Philip Hammond’s financial priorities.
Tony Blair for talking Corbyn down.
He said: “I saw Tony Blair talking about him and it kind of pissed me off because he was saying he should be further ahead and coming from somebody who lost the trust of the general public, it seems like a rather strange thing to do.
“So I don’t think Jeremy Corbyn is hoped generally by people speaking out against him when they’ve got no real right to be speaking out against him. establishment figures speak out against him a lot but actually if you speak to the general public,I think he’s quite favourably viewed.
“His authenticity is looked upon favourably even if you disagree with his views.”
The biggest cheers of the nights were reserved for the issues of council housing, reversal of NHS privatisation and party successes in locations not generally thought of as Labour areas.

Five Things It’s Okay To Admit You Liked About The Budget
Five Things It’s Okay To Admit You Liked About The Budget
Balanced or boring, fit for the future or fit for nothing.
We’ve heard a lot of arguments over whether Philip Hammond’s budget was a good or bad one.
On the whole, the chancellor managed to escape from his Commons address relatively unscathed, but big questions were asked about slow growth, revised-down wages and whether scrapping stamp duty was really a great idea.
But there were a few things most people can get behind, and we’ve picked out the best points below:
Plastic Tax
Trailed pre-Budget Day as a good news story, the government has announced it will be looking into taxing and charging single-use plastics to help prevent pollution in the world’s oceans and protect the environment.
The move forms part of its 25-year environment strategy and comes after the introduction of the plastic carrier bag charge and a ban on microbeads.
Welcome news for everyone who’s watched Blue Planet, but it means you’ll pay a bit more for your takeaway box.
Improving Air Quality
About £220 million is set to be ploughed into a new Clean Air Fund and new diesel cars (not vans, however) not meeting emissions limits will be taxed more.
The government also plans to raise existing company car tax on more polluting vehicles from 3% to 4% from next April.
The moves were welcomed by the Chartered Institute of Environmental Health, who said they were “essential steps in properly addressing the growing air quality crisis this country faces”.
But environmental campaigners Friends of the Earth said the chancellor had not gone far enough.
Air pollution campaigner Aaron Kiely said: “Unchecked air pollution could cost the UK £200 billion over the next 10 years.”
Cheaper Drinks
If you’re planning on enjoying a Christmas pint or two, it’ll probably be about 12p cheaper after duty rates on beer, cider, wine and other spirits were frozen.
Unfortunately fans of white cider will see an increase in price, after Hammond raised fears about the drink’s high alcohol content and cheap availability.
Announcing the plan to Commons, the chancellor said: “Merry Christmas!”
More Maths Teachers
A Level students who take maths or core maths as a subject will net their school an extra £600 in funding, and a total of £27m is being invested in improving teaching of the subject in 3,000 schools.
About £42m is also set to be invested in teacher training.
But Kevin Courtney, joint general secretary of the National Education Union, said the government should have focused on a “broad and balanced, fully funded curriculum for all children and young people”.
“Offering schools in desperate financial circumstances £600 per student if they take up A Level maths could steer students towards subject choices that may not be in their interests,” he added.

The Anti-Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Proved Angels Come In All Shapes And Sizes
The Anti-Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Proved Angels Come In All Shapes And Sizes
The Victoria’s Secret Show has come under fire for only featuring slim able-bodied models.
To prove that all bodies – whatever their size, shape or ability – are catwalk worthy, and to show the world-famous lingerie brand that they’re seriously missing a trick, two sisters created their very own Anti-Victoria’ Secret Fashion Show.
Alyse and Alexis Scaffidi were tired of seeing a narrow definition of beauty reflected on the catwalk.
“Every year you watch the Victoria Secret Fashion Show and you start to look at the models and compare that to yourself and you start to think I’ll never look like that,” said Alyse.
“So we decided to put our money where our mouth was and create an anti-VS Body Confident fashion show that proves every shape, size, age and skin colour is deserving of being an angel.”
The reactionary lingerie show involved women with a range of body shapes, abilities, heights, races and general styles as an antidote to models who all fit into sample sizes.
The Scaffidi sisters explained: “When we were watching the VS Fashion Show last year, we realised the models weren’t sending the right message to women.
“Young girls need to stop seeing the same, stereotypical shape in magazines, movies, and on social media.
“They need to stop being shown that only one body type can be beautiful, successful and happy.”
The sisters filmed the show with the help of producer and director Domenick Cucinotta, as they wanted it to reach a wide audience.
“This video teaches young women that they don’t have to look a certain, unrealistic way to feel beautiful,” said Alyse.
“Beauty is about being confident and proud of who you are as a person.
“We hope it will start conversations amongst girls about positive body image, self-acceptance and how to embrace your own individuality.”
The founders of the Anti-Victoria Secret Fashion show now hope to make this an annual event – like the show that inspired it.
“Our ultimate goal is to start a non-profit that enables young women from all over the world to make their dreams of becoming a VS runway angel come true,” said Alyse.
“Of course, our show would have one twist, in that it wouldn’t select models based on looks.
“Instead, the interview process would revolve around what challenges you’ve overcome, your creativity, your story and your uniqueness.
“We want to help girls around the world change to embrace their uniqueness and differences, which will inspire them to chase after their dreams – regardless of society’s opinions.”
Alyse and Alexis Scaffidi have also created a “Different” slogan tank top, £13.52 ($17.99) – 50% of the profits raised from the sale of which will be donated to the US charity National Organisation For Women.
