Jeremy Corbyn Slams Starmer's Government, Calls Spending Cuts a 'Disgrace'

 

Former Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn has fiercely criticized Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s government over proposed spending cuts, describing them as a "disgrace" and an "enormous disappointment." Corbyn, now an independent MP, led the Labour Party in a vastly different direction compared to Starmer, who once served in his shadow cabinet before making a concerted effort to distance himself from his former leader.

This Labour government could have taxed the very wealthiest in our society.

During a discussion with Sophy Ridge, Corbyn took aim at Starmer's plans to slash the benefits bill by £5 billion annually, arguing that such measures unfairly target the most vulnerable in society. Starmer has defended the cuts by asserting that too many people are out of work and the welfare budget has become unsustainable. However, Corbyn strongly disagreed, saying the decision would take money away from "the very poorest disabled people in our society," likening it to the era of austerity policies.

 

 

He warned that the tightening of eligibility criteria for personal independence payments would not only leave recipients struggling but would also place a heavier burden on families, particularly women, who would be forced to give up employment to care for their loved ones. "Who's it going to be?" Corbyn asked. "Usually women and families, who will give up jobs in order to care for somebody. There's already wholly disproportionate levels of poverty among families. The poverty is appalling."

 

Corbyn’s scathing remarks highlight growing tensions over the government's economic policies, with critics arguing that the cuts will only deepen hardship for those already struggling. Starmer’s approach has been met with resistance from some within the Labour movement who fear it signals a retreat from the party’s traditional commitment to social welfare.

Explain why you disagree with the Labour Party on this because all I've read is you backing them in all the topics regarding their policies.

 

Looking forward to it. Tory and Reform voters will be all ears I am sure.

As MP for Islington, Corbyn keeps being reelected many times because he supports his electorate. Unlike Farage.

Oh I'm sorry you didn't, you just implied it in my opinion, by posting the link to the Council.

 

True fact, Jeremy Corbyn has been the MP for that area for the past 42years, both as a Labour Party Member and lately as an Independent MP, the 2nd longest serving MP to date.

Stop lying, I implied nothing and the true facts are as my post:

 

"Islington North. (he is an independent) South has its own Labour MP"
