Jeremy Corbyn’s first People’s Forum handed leadership over to the grassroots not the greedy, writes LINDA PENTZ GUNTER
“POWERFUL” and “invigorating” is how Streets Kitchen founder, Jon Glackin, chose to sum up the first Islington North People’s Forum, hosted last week by Jeremy Corbyn, that constituency’s longtime and now independent member of Parliament.
“The flames of hope burn brightly in North London,” Glackin said.
Unshackled by the strictures of the Labour Party, of which he was once the leader but now no longer a member, Corbyn is free to host events of his own creation and initiative. The People’s Forum was his first such venture.
