Britain “is at a crossroads” and “we have to rethink our role in the world” following our decision to leave the EU, Jeremy Corbyn will say today (Fri) as he speaks at the UN.

In a powerful and wide-ranging speech the leader of the Labour Party will outline how to tackle what he sees as the four greatest threats to our common humanity.

At a speech to UN officials and others from multilateral institutions in Geneva, he will say that the global community needs to work together to address “the growing concentration of unaccountable wealth and power in the hands of a tiny corporate elite”, climate change, the refugee crisis and a “bomb first, think later” approach to resolving conflict.

Mr Corbyn will declare that “international cooperation, solidarity and collective action” are the values we are determined to project in our foreign policy.”

Rejecting those who “want to use Brexit to turn Britain in on itself” or “to put rocket boosters under our current economic system’s insecurities and inequalities”, he will say that Labour “stands for a completely different future when we leave the EU, drawing on the best internationalist traditions of the labour movement and our country.”

Mr Corbyn will also call for an end to “impunity for corporations that violate human rights or wreck our environment” and announce that the next Labour government will work to create a legally binding treaty to regulate global corporations, their subsidiaries and suppliers under international human rights law.

The Labour leader will be speaking at the Palais de Nations, the Geneva UN HQ.
