To
Jeremy Corbyn MP – leader of the Labour Party
As
artists and writers, we would like to thank you for raising political
awareness in our country to a level not seen since the end of World
War II. Your humanity, courage and insight have mobilised a new
generation of socialist activists.
Much
of our work reflects the world we live in and, as leader of the
Labour Party, you have inspired and energised us for the future.
The
media has been atrocious in the recent election and, in the face of
provocation, we congratulate you for keeping your dignity and
clarity.
You
will never be forgotten.
Sincerely
Ken
