Dear John xxxxxx,

This is an extraordinary and precarious moment in our country's history.

A Prime Minister found to have acted illegally. A political party that protects the establishment, pretending to be anti-establishment. The born-to-rule Tories claiming to be the voice of the people.

Boris Johnson thinks he's above us all. He is not fit to be Prime Minister. This crisis can only be settled with a General Election.

The Labour government I lead will take on those who really run our country: the financial speculators, tax dodgers and big polluters. We will take them on so the real wealth creators, the people of this country, can have the jobs, services and futures they deserve.

It's Labour that will put more money in your pocket, rather than lining the pockets of the multi-millionaires.

Boris Johnson and his wealthy friends are not only on the side of the establishment, they are the establishment. His party's election campaign will be swimming in cash. But we've got something Boris Johnson doesn't have: people. People in their hundreds of thousands from across Britain.

Today I'm asking you to take the next step. Don't sit on the sidelines while our country is taken for a ride by Boris Johnson and the super-rich. Hundreds of thousands of people are standing up to demand a country for the many – why not become one of them?

John xxxxxx, I want you to join the biggest people-powered campaign this country has ever seen. Will you become a member of the Labour Party now?

Real politics is about empowering people who don't have a lot of money, and don't have friends in high places, so they can take control of their lives. It's time we asked those at top to pay their fair share.

Labour is a democratic party that trusts the people.

Labour will redesign the system to serve public health not private wealth. We will bring rail, mail, water and the national grid into public ownership so these services are run for the public, not for profit. We will scrap zero-hours contracts and pay a £10 living wage. It's time we started building a country fit for the next generation.

When Labour wins, the nurse wins. The pensioner wins. The student wins, the office worker wins, and the engineer wins. We all win.

I will be – I promise you this – a very different kind of Prime Minister. I want to put the government on your side. Our philosophy is to empower people, not just to invest power in politicians.

The tide is turning. Together we'll take on the privileged and put the people into power.

Thank you.

Jeremy Corbyn
Leader of the Labour Party
