Questions to the next Labour leader‏

Jeremy Corbyn MP poses three key questions to the next Labour Party leader:

“Will they commit to reversing the spending cuts and maintaining a high level of direct employment and investment in public services?

Will they commit to defending the principles of public ownership, particularly of the banking system, and the important tool that public ownership provides for a government to promote social justice and equality?

And will they accept that the last Labour government, while bravely passing the Human Rights Act, allowed appalling attacks on civil liberties to take place through anti-terrorism legislation and immigration law including the imprisonment of children?“
