Corbyn Storms Liverpool
On a wet Monday evening they came from all over Merseyside. Thousands poured into the plateau outside St Georges Hall. People on zero hour contracts, teachers, cleaners, children, pensioners, the unemployed, doctors, builders, the disabled, professors, artists, lawyers, poets and trade unionists. They were the 99% who have been neglected for decades by the political elite of the country. They have been vilified by the press as delusional, members of a sect, hero worshipers, bullies and thugs. They came to hear the message that we need a different kind of politics; a government for for the people not the rich. I am proud of my City.

In your list of people who came no mention of those Labour MPs opposed to Jeremy. Just what are they going to do in the face of such overwhelming support?
Great photos. A sense of how mixed the audience was.
Hope screamed from the rooftops, democracy was bursting to get out, humanity invaded the space, the plateau, the sky, the air. I believe it is possible to have a decent future for all.
Superb photos which really capture the upbeat and positive spirit of the rally and the diversity of the thousands who attended. Well done Hazuan and Phil.
