is homecoming party for the leader, jeremy corbyn. people packed into this church, entertainment venue plays the dust charity droppings for homelessness. jeremy corbyn has been addressing hundreds of rallies. the labour party says he has done 100 events, and spoken to 100,000 people over the course of the campaign. a busy day, starting in scotland, coming down the country, rallies in the midlands, north wales, already one rally in london tonight. he will be on stage in the next couple of minutes. to give his last chance to get the message across. very enthusiastic crowd. this is what we have seen it all the rallies. hundreds of people turning out to seejeremy hundreds of people turning out to see jeremy corbyn. hundreds of people turning out to

seejeremy corbyn. you would expect these are natural labour supporters. people who would never vote any other way. he has energised them, run an effective campaign, inspiring people. no doubt this campaign has gone better than the labour party or anybody else was expecting. there have been a few setbacks, hiccups, moments whenjeremy corbyn has started. 0verall moments whenjeremy corbyn has started. overall the team feel he has stood up to the test and perform. the real challenge is whether he can get the message beyond people. get that message to the electorate, convincing them he's the electorate, convincing them he's the real contender to be prime minister. and he can deliver on the policies in the manifesto. the policies in the manifesto. the policies have been largely warmly received, criticism that involves borrowing, big spending, peoples

saying they are not sure they can trust the labour party and jeremy corbyn to have got the numbers right. the labour team have been emphatic they have done the sums. they have cost of the manifesto. they have cost of the manifesto. they are taken more more time and get to cost it than the conservatives. that is the real test. getting that message across, from a call like this to the wider electorate. that is a challenge jeremy corbyn has faced. they feel he has gone so far the last few weeks, he may be able to achieve it. whether he can push on and have success tomorrow whether he can push on and have success tomorrow that is the real test. we will stay with those pictures from the union chapel in islington. jeremy corbyn will be on stage in a moment or to. as dan was telling us, emily thornberry, the shadow foreign secretary quite a

prominent labourfigure shadow foreign secretary quite a prominent labour figure during campaign. she's just introducing jeremy corbyn for his very last rally. back on home soil in islington in north london. as dan was saying, dozens and dozens of jeremy corbyn rallies. in the eyes of many observers, it has been a campaign as faras of many observers, it has been a campaign as far as jeremy of many observers, it has been a campaign as far asjeremy corbyn is concerned, gone better—than—expected. although it has been bumpy times. for example, the appearance on woman's hour. there was a moment where he got his figures mixed up over childcare policies. could not remember the figures. 0ne hiccup. we have seen diane abbott get in a leather figures. the feedback from the campaign because of illness. 0n the whole they do feel the more he has

gone out there, jeremy corbyn, the more he has been on stage answering questions, the more effectively the has—been. his confidence has grown. that is evident amongst this crap, jeremy corbyn definitely running a campaign that has made an impact. definitely inspiring more labour support. now we see what he has got to say in his last chance to address the wider electorate, convince people who do not come to this kind of rally he's the sort of person that he can vote for, the person that he can vote for, the person that will deliver on the policies in the manifesto. 0bviously getting a very warm reception here. people who have been part of the campaign, natural supporters feel they have something to celebrate, how well this campaign has gone this the real

testis this campaign has gone this the real test is whether he can translate that into actual success at the ballot box, with more labour mps. clearly the people in this room feel this campaign has been a great success. this campaign has been a great success. this is the positive atmosphere we have seen all the events he has done. jeremy corbyn drawing big crowds, being very co mforta ble. drawing big crowds, being very comfortable. talking to people individually as well. taking time at all his events to meet members of the public. pictures taken from the sign autographs, messages. let's hear his message now. thank you islington. thank you union chapel. thank you for coming here tonight, and all those outside unable to get in. this is an incredible in

—— occasion an incredible evening. i would say thank you to a lot of people what we have achieved in the sevei‘i people what we have achieved in the seven weeks. thank you to all the neighbours of the labour party in islington for all the work they have done over the last seven weeks. i wa nt done over the last seven weeks. i want to say thank you to all those who have organised events, given so much support, so much help and advice. i want to say thank you to oui' advice. i want to say thank you to our national campaign team, and staff. in seven weeks we have put together a quite incredible campaign. in every part of britain. every town, every village. this campaign has brought together people in a way i have never experienced before in politics. brought together people from all sorts of different backgrounds and walks of life. you know what has

brought them together? folk. —— hope. it has brought them together in hope. 0urcampaign hope. it has brought them together in hope. 0ur campaign is powered by well in hope. 0ur campaign is powered by we ll over in hope. 0ur campaign is powered by well over half a million members of the labour party. it has gone up another during this campaign. that has changed the face of british politics. as we now prepare for government, we can already say we had changed that the bay. —— we had changed the debate. even people hope, hope it does not have to be like this. inequality can and will be tackled. hope that austerity can be ended.

then we can stand up to the elites and to the cynics. hope we can give oui' and to the cynics. hope we can give our health service, schools and police and social care the money they need and deserve, and need it i'iow. and, do you know what, in a sense, this is the new centre ground of politics. the place where most people actually are. the policies that the majority of people actually want. not what the establishment and their media mouthpieces in —— insists they should want, this is the mainstream. we have stood out

background of the kind of society and economy we want and are determined to achieve. i am very proud of the positive campaign we have fought during the past seven weeks. we have not descended into name—calling, i don't and never will. because the issues are too serious. mle and i were just talking before we came on stage for the rally tonight. that we remember holding an event there after 77, when 13 people from our borough died because of that terrorist attack. we also came together after the manchester attack, as we did after the westminster attack and now after the westminster attack and now after the eight people who died last weekend in london. these are terrible appalling events. those

people that did it did it to destroy innocent life, and did it to destroy a way of life of those innocent people. we have to mourn, we have to thank all those, police, firefighters, ambulance workers, and all those that went on there to try and save life and help the people to get through that awful experience. and we also have to recognise that in dealing with this issue you isolate those that want to kill, you completely isolate them, and try to protect the rest of us. but the community response must always be to unite in the face of it. we saw that unity in manchester, a few hours

after the attack, when tens of thousands of people came together in albert square, all faiths, or backgrounds, coming together because they wanted to protect their society. i want to protect our society, our democracy, our human rights. in the name of democracy we were not rights. in the name of democracy we we re not allow rights. in the name of democracy we were not allow our election to be pushed aside because of this attack. obviously not. and we will stand together to defend our human rights, oui' together to defend our human rights, our democracy and our individual rights of freedom of expression within our society. that is the best i’espoi‘ise within our society. that is the best response to those that want to destroy and kill people. unite together every one of our communities. tonight, for me, is quite an

incredible occasion. as you know, i have not been very much in islington ovei’ have not been very much in islington over the past seven weeks. i have had one or to macca other places to go. this campaign started on the 18th of april, announced in the morning by the prime minister, and i we nt morning by the prime minister, and i went straight to birmingham to address the conference of carers, and promise what a labour government will do the carers and social care. he went on a journey all around the uk. all around the uk, he went on a journey all around the uk. allaround the uk, from he went on a journey all around the uk. all around the uk, from the si'iows uk. all around the uk, from the snows of aviemore, down to the hot sunshine of the south coast over the past seven weeks. 7000 miles of this country. we have been in 70 towns and cities, i was going to say we have been at a number of debates. i have been at a number of debates. i have been at a number of debates. i have been to debates, somebody else did not turn up! and this i have to

say, this is the 90th rally at has spoken out during this campaign. and there is a big difference, as you know between the tory and labour party. we have raised £5 million to fight this campaign. i did not understand that, but i think it was helpful. we raised £5 million. do you know what the average size of the donation was, £20 £5 million in £20 donations. £20 donations from people that want to see a world different, and things done differently. i am very proud of that. we're not the party of the billionaires, the party of the corporate elite. we are the party of

the people. applause. and in the last few days, we have had an incredible level of support from people. from 8000 standing in the rainy gates said the other night, because they wanted to see something different. —— gates said. today we have travelled 500 miles, the first rally was in buchanan street this morning at eight o'clock in glasgow. and i do not have an executive jet, i don't have a helicopter. we have a train ticket. we travelled by train. and so,

today, we started in glasgow, we we nt today, we started in glasgow, we went to the weaver vale in runcorn, went to the weaver vale in runcorn, we went to the beach at colwyn bay, thousands of people on the beach. not so far away, not so long ago, 10,000 people at a rally in west kirby, on the beach. and then we we nt kirby, on the beach. and then we went to a huge crowd in watford, and then ending up in harrow. two places where game to game for labour tomorrow. —— we are going to gain. and what is incredible about the campaign, is the enthusiasm of people coming together. it is all the essentials of election

campaigning, knocking on doors, asking people to vote. you are going to do asking people to vote. you are going todoa asking people to vote. you are going to do a big amount of that tomorrow? is that a deal? it is also about the debate and the discussions. seven weeks ago when this election was announced, the expertise they are amongst all of our broadsheet journalists, all of our commentators, it is there, they fully understand all these things when they announced this was possible, that was possible all that, this, that. no. it was alla bit of a foregone conclusion. it was all a foregone conclusion for the party that dare not speak its name. well, something changed. we produced a serious manifesto. for

the many, not the few. seriously thought out proposals, of how things in this country could be done differently. do you know what? read itioi'e differently. do you know what? read more widely than any other, commented on more widely than any other, commented on more more widely than any other, commented on more than any other. what the tory party produce? some document that did not add up, they withdrew it three hours later. in order to rewrite it. in so chilly week —— in it we have serious proposals, and i am very grateful for presenting islington north, and representing them, and all they have taught me in the last 35 years.

people are against it, going through incredible stress. people suffering because they cannot the get housing they need, worried about their children. people working so hard, in oui' children. people working so hard, in our hospital, in our schools, and public services, to deliver something for the good of the people. those who feel very angry at the way they have been treated in a capability for work assessments unfair, the stress they gave three asa unfair, the stress they gave three as a result of it. and it is, for them, and communities as a whole, that our manifesto has too, must, and will deliver. we cannot go one, we cannot go one with this degree of inequality and injustice in our society. every child growing up deserves to be able to achieve the

very best in their lives. deserves somewhere decent and secure to live. deserves a decent nursery at deserves a decent chance in school. deserves to be able to make the best of our lives. you think about it, child growing up in an insecure private rented flat, where they may have two moving six months' time, very ha rd have two moving six months' time, very hard to do their homework, develop their lives. might even have to school. they are not likely to achieve as much as a child growing up achieve as much as a child growing up in achieve as much as a child growing upina achieve as much as a child growing up in a more stable environment. the one thing i am absolutely determined to do is to do something about the housing crisis. that so many people in london have faced. and that means regulation of the

private rented sector. i congratulate our council on building some private housing. they have done theirvery some private housing. they have done their very best. you need a labour government behind them to get a real big housing programme going, to build more secure council housing across the country. and there was a health debate on tuesday night, la st a health debate on tuesday night, last night in easington. we as a community had campaigned together to defend and support our whittington hospital. do you know what? that he indeed apartment and hospital is only there because the people in that borough demanded it would remain, marching down the holloway road to achieve it. we believe jeremy corbyn, his final rally of the election campaign. speaking for longer than theresa may, the final rally in birmingham, we were showing live. much more coming up in the ten
