What just happened to Jeremy Corbyn would NEVER happen to Theresa May [VIDEO]
Footage from Jeremy Corbyn’s visit to Scotland shows scenes happening around the Labour leader which would never happen to Theresa May. A Scottish cyclist catches up to Corbyn’s car as it’s stopped at a red light, and the unthinkable happens.
A rare moment
The cyclist calls for Jeremy Corbyn to open his window so he can speak to him, and the Labour leader promptly does. The unnamed cyclist then says:
I wish you all the success Mr Corbyn. I hope you become our next Prime Minister.

It is the latest moment in the Labour campaign which goes some way to explaining the party’s staggering rise in the polls. Labour is now polling 57 points ahead of the Conservatives with people under the age of twenty five.
In an era when trust in politicians is so eroded, it’s more common for passersby to throw eggs than compliments. Which makes the scenes in Scotland all the more remarkable.
We can’t imagine Theresa May getting the same reception at any venue. Except perhaps the Maidenhead Conservative Club.

The Canary Workers’ Co-op knows life is hard. The Tories are waging a class war against us we’re all having to fight. But like trade unions and community organising, truly independent working-class media is a vital weapon in our armoury.
The Canary doesn’t have the budget of the corporate media. In fact, our income is over 1,000 times less than the Guardian’s. What we do have is a radical agenda that disrupts power and amplifies marginalised communities. But we can only do this with our readers’ support.
So please, help us continue to spread messages of resistance and hope. Even the smallest donation would mean the world to us.
