'Oh, Jeremy Corbyn!': how the Labour chant all started

Singing to show support is a more common practice at football matches than at political rallies but that hasn't stopped Jeremy Corbyn's fans from chanting his name both during the general election campaign and then also following the results last week. Labour supporters have adapted Seven Nation Army by the White Stripes, often sung at sports fixtures, to show support for the party leader. Corbyn himself recently told that he was moved by the chant which was first aired in May at a concert in Tranmere

Looking back at this and seeing all of those young people full of hope. :(

I loved the part where Jezza said “It’s Corbyn time.” and Corbed all over Parliament. Truly one of the moments in British politics.

We really lost out there. What a PM he would have been

Happened at a gig I was at on Monday - between the bands, they played Seven Nation Army, and the chants went off “OH JEREMY CORBYN!”

The Man is back! Independent MP for Islington North! Ohh Jeremy Corbyn...

[sarahjaneross]

I miss that feeling of genuine hope for actual change.

[aidanrogers]

Ironic that David Cameron told Corbyn to resign a year or so ago and Cameron is politically dead, and Corbyn's popularity is ever growing.

Jeremy Corbyn, the most honourable man in politics and a heart of pure gold. The greatest Prime Minister we never had.

His giggle when he realised people adore this man unlike any political figure before

One person started that off at Tranmere and it's just stuck. Whomever that it is a 100% legend! We thank you whomever you are wherever you are.

WOW! Incredible stuff.... only other politician in my living memory who could inspire crowds to chant his name like that is Nelson Mandela.

[Coyotesarecool]

This magnificent chant needs to live on! OH! JEREMY CORBYN!!

If only he had won in 2019 this country would be a better fairer place in 2022.
