❤️ Helps our grassroots, independent platform do more like this: https://northstarpolitics.com/support Jeremy Corbyn sits down with Northstar Politics for an unfiltered conversation on his journey from a small farming town in Shropshire to leading the Labour Party — and why he believes Labour has lost its way under Keir Starmer. In this episode of Stargazing, Corbyn opens up on the Cuban Missile Crisis, Vietnam, and the moments that radicalised him as a teenager; his 2015 leadership bid as a 200-1 outsider; the failed attempt to turn Labour into a genuine community organising movement; and his unflinching take on Gaza, the ICJ genocide case, and why he believes politicians "always have a choice" when it comes to backing Israel's war.We also dig into the UK's political media landscape, the rise of Farage and the far right, how to define "the elite" post-Epstein files, and what a genuinely imaginative, values-led politics could look like for the next generation.
