Jeremy Corbyn facing hypocrisy accusations after supporters

in #news7 years ago

Jeremy Corbyn is facing accusations of hypocrisy after his supporters created a video accusing middle-class families of nepotism - despite the fact the Labour leader’s son works for John McDonnell.

A Momentum campaign group video parodies a garden party with a series of characters criticising Mr Corbyn’s policies and questioning why he is “so popular”.

One of the characters says that “people think they deserve a job, without doing the necessary work to get it” and that “nobody ever helped me out”.

A message then flashes onto screen that reads: “Got his job at a media agency through his father. Who started the agency with money from his father.

But critics have been quick to point out that Mr Corbyn’s top team contains a number of people with family links to the Labour leader and his allies.

It doesnt make the message wrong though, our society isnt nearly as based on merit as it should be.
