Why Corbyn must end his media silence

"Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets." - Napoleon Bonaparte View this email in your browser As Jeremy Corbyn prepares to face David Cameron for the first time at PMQs today, we have a live blog to bring you all the drama as-it-happens. Also this morning we look at Corbyn's silence since becoming Labour leader. The attacks on him are coming thick and fast yet so far we have seen more from members of his shadow cabinet than we have from him. If he wants to challenge the image much of the media is portraying of him he must start to make use of the broadcasters who will give him a fair hearing. We also discuss the outrage surrounding his choice not to sing the national anthem at yesterday's Battle of Britain memorial service. We suggest the left-winger should be applauded for sticking to his principles despite the backlash he must have known would come. At a time when many people don't believe in either the monarchy or a higher supernatural power should we really be shaming those who decide not to sing a song which celebrates these two things?   Latest Articles     Corbyn's refusal to speak to the media is ending his leadership before it even begins   On Sep 16, 2015 09:32 am Corbyn must end his media silence if he wants to challenge the narrative it's churning out about him Read more... »   Jeremy Corbyn should be applauded for refusing to sing the national anthem   On Sep 16, 2015 09:21 am The Labour leader's refusal to join in with Britain's anachronistic anthem was laudable Read more... »     Opinion Former videos   What's on the menu at the Chancellor's bakery?   On Sep 16, 2015 07:30 am The new National Living Wage will not be enough to live on.
