Tomorrow will be three weeks until the most decisive election in modern British history.

A decade after the economic crash, Britain’s elite has failed to produce a new model of widespread prosperity. Economic growth has flatlined, wages are stagnant and worth less in real terms than they were in 2009, people are working longer, paying more for rent and the cost of living has gone up.

All of this builds frustration that manifests itself in the staggering finding last week that just 2% of people want the economy to continue on its current path. In fact, the same poll found more people now want “radical” change than so-called “moderate” change.

For millions of people across Britain, the idea that things might get meaningfully better over the course of their lives ended in 2009. Back then, the elite pulled off a most incredible heist — taking a crash caused by a runaway banking sector which lavished extraordinary wealth on a very few and recasting it as a problem caused by excess spending on teachers, nurses, the elderly, the sick and those out of work.

Many working people went along with this, for a time. There had been enough improvements — kids, even in left behind areas, making it to college, the possibility of buying a house, new technologies, more regular holidays — through the 1990s and 2000s to give a sense that maybe, if we all “tightened our belt,” the fundamental problems exposed in our economy by the financial crisis might go away again and some good times return. If not for everyone, at least for me.

Ten years on, it is now clear that isn’t going to happen. Tory governments have slashed away at public spending, broken many of the institutions that sustained our communities and built a society where the only thing most people can predict with certainty in their working life is that they’ll pass more homeless people on their way home each evening.

After ten years in this stasis, people are angry. You can’t frustrate the ambitions of millions of people in this way, and surround them with a society filled with so much misery, and expect them not to resent it. We are at a moment in history where that anger will erupt into a new political and economic model — in one way or another.

It is already clear from this campaign which direction the Tories will take that anger, and what kind of society they will build with it, if they win on December 12th. It was no accident that their activists at last night’s debate heckled Jeremy Corbyn when he spoke about climate change and concern for the poor.

The Tory Party increasingly represents the authentic face of capitalism, unmasked from its pleasantries, one that looks upon the suffering they’ve created and sees only opportunity. Their aim is to generate a new wave of growth by tearing apart the social safety net, deepening inequalities and stripping away the rights that guarantee basic dignity. The queues at the food banks, the people dropping dead in DWP centres, the workers pissing in bottles because they’re afraid to take a toilet break — these are only the first glimpses of their world to come.

Tomorrow, for the first time in this campaign, Jeremy Corbyn will make a serious attempt to channel people’s anger in another direction. Not towards immigrants, or scroungers, or benefit cheats, or lazy millennials, or stuck-in-the-mud boomers — or any other trope levelled at people who in reality have little or no power in our society. But towards the people who own the wealth, who make the decisions that shape our economy, who buy our politics and wield it in their favour.

For the first time in a long time, British people will have the opportunity in this election to direct their anger where it belongs — and vote for a set of policies that will meaningfully challenge the power of the powerful. But not only that. They will have an opportunity to stem the flow of wealth to a tiny proportion of the population who have rigged the economy in their favour and use that money instead to build a society that guarantees a decent life to all of its inhabitants.

Below, we reproduce a section of Corbyn’s speech. It offers a vision of a Britain worth fighting for — and it names those forces in our way if we want to achieve it. As of tomorrow, we have three weeks to overcome them. The fight for the future is on.
