A CHARITY was accused today of rigging its public vote for its MP of the Year competition to prevent Jeremy Corbyn from winning.

The Patchwork Foundation runs the annual “non-partisan” competition to “celebrate and recognise” MPs who have “gone above and beyond to champion underrepresented and disadvantaged communities.”

But this year’s public vote will be scrapped “due to irregularities in the voting count,” the foundation said, and only the panel of judges’ decision will be announced.
