Jeremy Corbyn

On 12th September 2015 Jeremy Corbyn was elected leader of the Labour Party in a landslide victory. On that day he spoke of some of the people who have inspired him on his extraordinary journey. He said: ‘The most authentic thing about us is our capacity to create, to overcome, to endure, to transform, to love..’ The author of that quote was Ben Okri. Okri responded with a poem dedicated to Corbyn called A New Dream of Politics. Now, join us as these two men meet for the first time live on stage. United by a desire to make our world a kinder, fairer place, they will discuss forces that have made them what they are, the state of the world today and their belief that we can transform ourselves for the better. Join us for the most powerful meeting of literature and politics in a generation.
