·
NOTE: Remind voters that unless their constituency is Islington North,
they will NOT see Jeremy Corbyn’s name on the ballot – they are supposed to
vote for the Labour candidate on their ballot paper.
·
When canvassing or during your routine engagement with people, you
must focus on what their interests are. Such as health, education and
housing, and how Labour policies will make a positive impact e.g. Privatisation of
the NHS or public ownership?
·
Most importantly, encourage your contacts to go out and vote on June
8th. Supporting a Jeremy Corbyn-led Laour Government, but not going out to
vote on 8th June will not help Labour win the general election.
·
To counter Jeremy Corbyn is not a string leader – remind them that the
popular Labour Manifesto would not have been passed without Corbyn's
leadership.
·
Counter arguments about what makes a strong leader. Is it a person
who has no qualms about pushing a nuclear button or one who invests in peace? Is it one who does U
turns or one who has strength of character, has consistently been on the side
of the marginalised, supported anti-apartheid movement when it was not popular
and Margaret Thatcher described Mandela as a terrorist? A person who has been
resilient and not abandoned socialist values in spite of negative onslaught
from the media and undermining from members of the Parliamentary Labour Party
and Labour Party, and has increased the membership of the Labour Party is a
strong leader.
·
Regarding Foreign Policy. There is a link between foreign policy and
'extremism'. Links to Conservatives making some of the points Corbyn has made: www.mirror.co.uk/news/politics/six-times-tories-said-exactly-10511011
·
Highlight May's weaknesses. Is she strong and stable, or one who
makes U turns?
·
Financial Literacy. Explain that Bonds are not just Government debt
when used to buy income generating assets. They can be a safe way of buying
back assets.
·

Morning Star online for positive news about Corbyn and Labour.
