In 2016, the Islington North MP cancelled his appearance at the festival at Worthy Farm in Somerset following the Brexit vote and questions about his leadership.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s Conservative Party has been hurt by its bungling of the coronavirus response, creating an opening for Labour less than a year after it was seemingly relegated to the political wilderness by its worst election loss since 1935.

The status quo is bust. Inequality and injustice are everywhere. We need a fundamental shift in power, and wealth, and opportunity. That’s why our 2017 manifesto was so popular. We must build on it. LONDON — Britain’s main opposition party, Labour, suspended its former leader Jeremy Corbyn on Thursday after he deflected blame for the party’s handling of anti-Semitism allegations, setting the stage for an extraordinary rupture with Labour’s recent past and another period of tortured infighting over its future.Wikipedia: Rachel Annabelle Riley is a British television presenter and mathematician. She is well known for demonising Jeremy Corbyn…with claims of anti-semitism against him whilst actively promoting racism herself. Gas. #RachelRiley A few hours later, Labour said that it had suspended Mr. Corbyn over those comments and had begun an investigation. For Mr. Starmer, a former prosecutor and human rights lawyer, rooting out anti-Semitism and repairing ties with British Jews has been a defining goal of his leadership. Bristol Street Wear, which donated the T-shirt, said: “It’s great to see the typically dismissed art form, ‘bootlegs’, given pride of place at the V&A. This T-shirt spoke to so many people. It was immediate, it was fun, it started debates, it was censored and it even got us into trouble – everything good art should.”

The V&A said the T-shirt was an example of “bootlegging”, where brands are repurposed for subversive effect. The shirt has a version of the 1971 Nike swoosh logo, with the brand replaced with Corbyn’s name. I found this report hard to read, and it is a day of shame for the Labour Party,” he said on Thursday, standing behind a lectern bearing the slogan “A New Leadership” — an unsubtle signal of his effort to transform the party. “We have failed the Jewish people, our members, our supporters and the British public.” One of the most popular fashion items was a “Jeremy Corbyn” t-shirt which featured his name and a Nike-style swoosh underneath.I won't dignify this with any further response & I won't tolerate abuse from those who choose to rank one form of racism over another, that's hypocrisy. They're all unacceptable." Added to this, it captures the current vogue for slogan tees and the growing influence of street wear brands,” she said. But Mr. Corbyn’s own response to the watchdog report was more equivocal, mirroring statements he gave for years as party leader that Jewish Labour members saw as trying to make excuses for insufficient action against anti-Semitism. Rachel Riley turned from pleasant person to monster. Okay, it's not nice 'fighting racism', but she seems to have been taken advantage of, much to her detriment.
