Hate the cuts not migrants
Aim your anger at the Tories, urges Corbyn

JEREMY CORBYN urged the public yesterday to direct their anger at the Tories and their cuts rather than immigrants in the run-up to the EU referendum.

The Labour leader blamed the EU for lowering living standards across the rest of Europe, but warned that pressure on infrastructure would not vanish in the event of a Brexit.

Speaking on the BBC’s Andrew Marr Show, Mr Corbyn countered criticisms that Labour’s EU referendum campaign has done little to address concerns over immigration, arguing that the far right was exploiting problems created by Tory government failures.
